uh.

Blog! Just do it!

Yah, face it, I'm forcing words. But I'm making an attempt, and I want it to turn into the diligent blogging I used to obsess about. So here goes, it will be dull, it will be boring, but it WILL exist, and that's all that matters.


I feel this need to completely catch up my blog about what I've been up to, but it's been something like a month. With what time has passed I would end up typing a novel, and then it would be either not read or skimmed through. No bueno.

Let's see....

hmmmmm.

My fourth of July weekend was much better then last year. Though it's fairly easy to top being part of a firework misfire and being shot in the thigh with a mortar. I spent it with Saxon and met some of his friends. It was nice to spend it with someone I care about, and feel as if I had friends around me. Although they are NOT my friends, it still helped to curb the sting of missing my loves in Oregon. We went to a carnival, partied a bit, saw fireworks and slept. The fireworks show was a hit...specially when it caught a dry patch of land on fire.


It eventually turned into this:


Fun right?

All in all, hit a few parties this weekend, spent some time with Saxon and friends, and chilled.

I started planning my birthday bash, got absolutely NO cleaning done, and made some BOMB diggety pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

After realizing how much I hated TV, I also went for a walk. A stroll in the neighborhood will never compete with the beach, but it was nice to have the warm breeze on my legs.

Work is good, I get a small bonus this week and I'm planing some fun activities for a big wig that comes in mid-week. I'm also kicking off a few "Go Green" initiatives in hopes to make my work more eco-friendly.

All in all, still homesick, still craving new friends, and still drowning in debt. But I'm alive, tan, and breathing, so I can't really complain.
