dreams

last night i had a dream about starbucks.  it's weird because i don't work at starbucks.  in my dream i was working with kirsta and i didn't know how to make coffee so i was just taking the orders and writing on the cups, but i didn't know the correct abbreviations so i just wrote everything the customer said on the cup and it was really funny.  i woke and thought to myself, "i will never be able to work at starbucks."

i ordered text books on monday and today they came.  homework can start now.  i'm very excited.  we'll see how long the excitement lasts.  i'm going to start reading as soon as i'm done blogging and wasting time on facebook. oh, and when america's next top model is over.  so glad it's back.  i've been forgetting to smile with my eyes, not anymore, thanks for the reminder tyra.  i'll be practicing all season.  

today i watched seven pounds.  whoa.  that was a hard, eye opening, heartbreaking movie.  i liked it, but i sure did cry.  to follow up that movie i watched she's the man.  i also cried during that one too, but only because i was laughing so much.  i didn't remember it being that funny.  i'll be watching it again soon.

i had my first americano yesterday.  it was good.  i drank it at about 730 in the pm and i was still in bed by 1030.  what if caffeine doesn't effect me?  what if i've built up a tolerance to it?  i might have to consult webmd about this.  see what happens when there is a caffeine tolerance and how to cure it.  i want it cured.  

in other news, i'm ready for fall and puffy vests. 

race

today i learned children love to race.  especially uphill.  it doesn't matter how out of shape you are or how much you detest running, they still want to race and they want you to let them win.  if i'm forced to run uphill, i'm not letting you win.  does that make me mean? no, it makes me competitive, even against a five year old with a back-pack.  

lydia-you're shoes untied.

funny man-i know

lydia-you're going to trip

funny man-no, i'm going to trip you!

sharpie pens and cubs games

the first of the school supplies have been purchases.  sharpie pens.  i don't know why i like them so much, i just do.  those and papermate ones.  i usually like pens that you have to click not with a cap.  teachers used to reprimand me during class because i would be clicking my pen and not even noticing it.  if it has a cap though i chew on it.  maybe i should start using a pencil.  i'm getting more and more excited about school by the day.  a lot of my credits transferred which is great, and i'm really excited to start taking classes again.  

tomorrow i'm going to a cubs game.  a bunch of us are going and we're sitting in the bleachers.  i don't care how good or bad the cubs are doing i still like to see them play.  it's just fun being at a game.  goal for tomorrow: make a new friend.  another goal: don't get beer spilled on me by rowdy fans.

it's really happening

well folks, it's happened.  today i got an e-mail letting me know that i have been accepted into Trinity International University!!!  wowza, i am excited.  no one was home to celebrate with me so i yelled around the house for a little and then made a few calls.  i told me my mom and started crying a little, i'm pretty sure she was too.  krista did a great job of being excited with me.  i can't believe it.  i went to community college and then stopped for a number of reasons, but one was i was too afraid to apply anywhere else.  i have an intense fear of rejection.  today i feel pretty proud of myself.  i'll start sept. 22.  i already have a list of school supplies.  i'm too excited and happy to do anything.  i don't need to clean, i was just accepted to college.  so what if i showered an hour ago and i'm still sitting in my towel, i was just accepted to college.

in other news, i hate working out but i do it anyway, at least once a month.  

life is good today

i'm going to write a book.  i know what it's going to be about and the title.  i'm not going to tell anyone due to copyright issues.  i don't want anyone to steal my idea.  i also know who the main character is going to be.  it's going to be funny, and eye opening.  i think i'm going to start writing it tonight, right now.

i have chapped hands and it's summer time.  who has chapped hands in the summer?  i'm so confused.  they're even cracking.  i can't seem to find a lotion that helps with this.  any suggestions?

i'm on a seafood kick.  i like to eat tuna, tonight i had crab cakes, and i also bought salmon.  i'm not really sure how to cook the salmon, but i bought it and i'll figure it out.  

i forget how funny "Friends" is.  i like watching the older episodes and laughing a lot. i was never allowed to watch it growing up, but now that i'm a grown woman and live on my own, i watch it all the time.  

i hate to be a debbie downer, but here i go.  yesterday evening our family had to put our dog to sleep. our dog who we had for 18 years to the date.  i remember the day we went to pick out ruff.  i was really mad that he got to ride home on my brothers lap, but then he scratched my brother so i wasn't mad after that.  it's funny how a pet becomes part of your family.  it's really sad saying goodbye.  

i thin i'm going gluten free.  i got a book and a cookbook out on it, not from the library though because i can never go back there again.  my mom checked them out for me.  she does not know that i am very irresponsible with a library card.  a lot of the recipes have beets in them.  i may have to do some alterations with those recipes.  

i like summer, and it's almost here.  i'm going to write a song about it, probably not.
