My Fantasticness

Today I am going on a bike ride to santa monica to visit my sister. It will be splendiforous. We are going to lay on the beach all day since it has been rediculously hot here. The water is really nice though. I went swimming yesterday at 5pm and rode lots of waves. Summer is officially here!!!! I hope everyone has a great weekend. Much love.

P.S. another fun word is collywobbles or a bellyache

hehe...words.

You know what a great word is. Codswallop. It is a great way to say nonsense. You know what else is a great word. Jingoism. Or belligerent patriotism. Ha! Who thinks of these things.

sunny day

I woke up in a terrible mood this morning. It seems that I have no patients for anyone today. Its a good thing that I am stuck in this office with no one else around or I might have screamed at someone already. It is a beautiful day outside, you think that I would be in a good mood. I hope it goes away by this evening because I must chaperon and abundance of children at a dance that we organized for them. I will need all of the patience I posses for this event. I always think that I can just think positively and these moods will go away but it is really hard sometimes. I will go for a run so that I might relax a little. I hope that other peoples days have started out better than mine and tomorrow is FRIDAY!!!!

Hello

June gloom is in full affect in southern California. The weather really doesnt know what it wants to be. Its cloudy and muggy in the morning and sunny and windy in the afternoon. Hopefully next month it will figure it out.

I am going to the zoo this weekend and very excited about it. Road trip down to San Diego!! I have not been there in quite some time. I get to hang out with some very fun people and my sister!!! YAY!

Mom and Michael are going to Australia tonight!!! SOOOO jealous. Oh well, I guess I will get my turn soon. Alexis and I might go to Costa Rica soon. I am going to stay and learn espanol. I would love to be able to speak another language and classes do not quite cut it for me. I think it will eventually help me get the job I want and if not I will just know another language, which is nice.

What else is going on in this life of mine. I just got done reading Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. A very strange book. You think you got it bad, read that book. Puts things in perspective when I want to complain about something. Now I have started on one of his other books, Possible Side Effects. Cannot tell how it is yet but I have no doubts it will be good. He reminds me a lot of David Sedaris. Whom I really enjoy reading.

I am at a very strange point in my life right now where I can pretty much do whatever I want. I just have to figure out what that is. There are things that are expected of me by society and family and I wonder how much I can stray from these expectations without dissapointing both. I see my life right now as this rediculous adventure that I am guessing my way through. I am enjoying every minute of it even though its not always happy. I am just greatful for it and all the people in it. They all make me excited for the next step. Fathers day is coming up and I am fortunate to have two of them to thank. So, to them, thanks for stickin around.
