what to say...

It is actually hot in Seattle. I can not believe it! I don't even mean push up the sleeves of your cardigan hot but leave your cardigan at home HOT! I am loving every second of the warm weather before it leaves town. I spent the afternoon doing my anatomy homework while roasting on the roof deck.

I had today off from school to run errands and do the laundry. I know how to live it up during my free time. I also spent a few hours working on homework. I'm actually enjoying Chemistry so far which surprises me because I do not remember have a good time with it in high school.



This is a photo of my new living room chair. It doesn't really match the ottoman that I made but it is so comfortable it doesn't matter. We finally have a place for a guest to sit other than our uncomfortable kitchen chairs. Which is good since we're having a party tomorrow. Hopefully I will remember to take some photos because I don't even have any of my friends. In a few years if we don't live in the same place their faces will be all blurry in my memory.

July is my favorite month

I started school this week. I like it so far but its been keeping me really busy. The summer quarter is only 4 weeks so they cram a lot into each week. I decided to make my July To Do list all fun things that hopefully I can get done this month. I don't want to go crazy spending all my time memorizing the names of all our bones. I am terrible at remembering to take photos but I'm really going to try and photograph the list as I go along.

This has to be the cutest necklace ever made. I really think I need to buy one. I am so glad today is Friday. I got to see Katie tonight which was great cause it had been over a month since we hung out. We met up at Top Pot and I had the best strawberry frosted donut ever. We got caught up and really my update was about one sentence. "I've been working and sleeping" Tonight I'm going to watch Uninvited and go to bed as late as I can possibly stand to stay awake. Maybe 11:45. I live a crazy life.

I love these shoes from Pink Studio. I'm not sure if I could chase after kids in them without twisting my ankle but I would like to try. I'm not sure where else I would wear them considering my weekend plans usually include trips to Target or Wendy's. Maybe I need to start going to fancier places.

I spent my day at work preparing things for next week which is all about the post office at school. I made some mail boxes out of construction paper and cardboard boxes. I'm not sure how impressed the kids will be but I had a good time making them.

The weekend is here and I am going to try to finally get over the last leg of the neverending cold and feel better. Philip started Friday night off with a bang by eating chinese food and taking a 6pm nap. I think this weekend is getting off on the right foot.

I'm starting to feel a little better. My cold seems to be going away slowly. I hope tomorrow I start to feel normal again. Until then the TV marathon continues tonight with Simpsons and battlestar. Last night Philip and I watched Taken and it was really good. I couldn't help but bite some fingernails.

Here is a photo of the cupcake cake Lucia and I attempted to bake last weekend. We didn't have enough batter and the cake turned out looking a little like a pile of poo. It tasted really good though and after a bottle of wine a poo shaped cake made us laugh pretty hard.

I have spent the last few days feeling like crap. I caught a cold sometime last week and I haven't been able to shake it yet. My head feels like someone filled it with cement. I'm hoping I start to come around tomorrow and remember what its like to have energy and use your nose for breathing.

Philip and I have been watching a great deal of TV and taking it easy sipping on sprite zero. I got my plane ticket today for my trip home in March. I'm excited already.

We took Annie and the cats to get updated on all their shots this morning. We have such a crazy family of animals. Annie didn't seem to mind the shots as long as the dog cookies were being given.

Many many things have happened since my last post in August. I went home to visit Pittsburgh and Lewistown. I had such a good time on my trip. The first few days were spent hanging out with Bethany doing the usual stuff like Mexican food for breakfast and shopping at Target. I ate so much junk food that week. We stopped at my favorite diner from college Dean's Dinner and the local diner in Lewistown, so much pie!

The weather was so warm and sunny, I loved every minute of it. I got to visit with my sister and spend some time hanging out with Ben. He has grown so much since April.

Overall it was a great trip. I really do miss living in Pennsylvania.

Other than my trip the only other news is Philip and I are moving to a bigger place at the end of the week. We leased a new apartment and we get to move in on Friday. I am so excited to be moving into a larger apartment. We have been slowly packing but we still have a lot to do in the next few days.
