distractions

life is full of so many distractions. i think if i tried to do my homework in a padded cell i would still get distracted. i'm sitting in panera by my school trying to get homework finished up before class and i can not focus. i keep thinking about everything i want to eat, wondering if i'm allowed to eat a granola bar that i brought from home inside a panera. i also have to go the bathroom but do i have to pack everything up to go or do i just leave my stuff on the table and pray nothing gets stolen. or do i walk two tables over and ask the very attractive young man to watch my stuff....for the rest of our lives. instead of doing any of those things, i'll just hold it until i leave. i don't have to go that bad. although typing about it has made it a little more urgent.

i was at a baseball game on sunday. two of them actually. a double header. the 7 year old boy i watch is a great baseball player. as we were ready to leave he asked if i wanted to bring a diet coke to the game. so sweet. he knows my favorite drink. while at the game i got the first sunburn of the season and boy oh boy did i do it right. 3 days later my shoulders are blistered. seriously blistered. i'm going to guess my skin has soaked up at least 5 pounds of aloe and counting. i've worn long sleeves the past few days because i didn't want any more sun to shine on my poor arms, but today i braved a tank top. i can't hide these guns all summer!

okay, distraction time is over. this homework won't do itself. i so wish it would though.

it's been a long time. i've kind of missed blogging. i also miss the internet. since i've moved i don't have it and i have to travel to places that offer it for free. today i'm in the library. i'm sitting across from a tutoring lesson. i realize i probably made their lesson very awkward, but this chair is just so comfortable.

i've moved. i like it. sort of. it's kind of lonely. i walk around the house a lot so i guess i'm getting some good exercise. especially since when i'm really bored i lunge down the hallway. this has only happened twice. i also don't have cable so i watch movies or read. mostly read and then go to bed really early. i'm wondering where all the cool kids hang out. i can tell you it's not at the library. on my way in there were maybe 15 junior highers being crazy outside the door. i was almost desperate enough to ask them to hang out. maybe by this time next week i'll reach that point.

i'm really looking forward to summer. let's hang out ok?

i promise i won't wait so long to blog next time. i'll try to keep up with it better. i should also say that i really enjoy tuna melts. i had them last night and they were so tasty! i need to have them more often
