9:39 PM ● summer lovin'

finally. a day of summer i can enjoy. while i'd much rather be out still at the lake, drinking my cares away in a beach front bar, preferably with some gorgeous boys that aren't acting like complete assholes (an anomally, i know), i'm quite content with sitting on my deck, watching the sun creep behind the neighbors trees, the sound of a gathering floating on the breeze.
and to think it took me almost 3 years to figure out i wanted to be a writer? go figure.

today was lovely. i don't think i've enjoyed this summer as much as i have today. slept in, a bit. saw the sun burn away the pesky clouds that would keep the full force of the sun away as we drove through the country fields of gold and green. so picturesque, seeing the blocks of colour fly past your window, softly waving in the breeze. the lake, well, that in itself was near perfection. minus the fact that the lake is kind of gross, i couldn't have asked for a better day out in rural alberta. i wish i had taken more pictures. but i was too busy in the water.

in one day i've managed to become enlightened, again. i feel inspired, recharged. i'd forgotten what it was like to steal away for a few hours on a mini-vacation. i haven't been camping in over a year, my last vacation was in february. i have half a mind to take my next weekend off too and do the same thing. it's good to be me today.


on another note, down to the last few days before i leave for southern comfort that only the combination of a new yorkian and an alabamian could provide. i can't wait! i just need:
  1. my set up on pay pal to be approved so i can pay my lovely new yorkian for the room
  2. to get my nails done
  3. to get contacts
  4. to lose 8-9lbs
  5. colour my hair and get it trimmed
  6. pack my shit
  7. get more american money
  8. investigate the area surrounding the sheraton
  9. see how much six flags is
  10. figure out what shit i need to pack
  11. iron my dress... again
  12. try on my dress to make sure my fat ass still fits in it
  13. add long distance on to my phone?
  14. even out my tan some more
  15. sleep

i think that about covers it. i only have what, 10 days left? i can TOTALLY get this list done. and by totally i mean i can probably do the important stuff, like pay new yorkian... and maybe figure out what shit i need to pack. that about covers it. maybe if i'm lucky i'll end up getting the contacts, but i doubt it.

such a failure.
