I'm so cool.
I'm starting to realize that, I can entertain myself quite well - for a while. Not having any full-day structure for almost 3 weeks has really put a spin on things. Quite a few of these days have been spent with my usual gang - mostly Kinsey Anne. But today and yesterday, I spent the time home alone (Note: living in the middle of nowhere and not being able to (legally) drive really BITES).
This morning I woke up to my alarm at 9 (I'll sleep for 12 hours or more if I let myself), watched the news with the baby (if you know me, you know my chihuahua is like my child), burned toast (it's not me, it's the toaster. I swear it's possessed), finished the book of Joshua and Proverbs, did laundry, got together all the stuff people have left in my house, did Day 5 of the Daniel study homework, then started watching the Discovery Channel with the dog and eating leftover spaghetti. When I finish this, I'm going to wash Nike and then go to the gym - then shower, put my face on, and go to the Detroit Missions meeting!!!
Yeah. I know. It's a rough life (:
But! Friday at 3:30 I take my driving test! My heart rate just went up as I typed that. Feel free to pray about it!

Look at the rain.
Quite an interesting day.
Full of several different emotions.
The end result,
let's just say there's a giddy teenage girl in the house (:

Summertime laziness
My "taking a day or two off" to relax has turned into... a week and a half of barely functioning. My daily schedule has revolved around eating, sleeping, and lounging around the house in between. I'm not even sure what day it is.
If you know me, you know I function quite well on a schedule - and any little bit of change totally throws a kink in the normally well-oiled machine. No school = no schcedule = no machine.
For example, normally I feed the fish at 5am right after I turn on the fan in the bathroom right before I hop in the shower (the fishbowl is in the bathroom, is that weird?). I realized the other day that I've fed the fish only a handful of times since school got out, and I can never remember if I already fed them that day or not.
Two days ago, before heading over to Kinsey's, I realized I hadn't done laundry in two weeks. Normally my laundry gets done on Saturday mornings, along with the cleaning of the bathroom and bedroom - both of which haven't been cleaned since the last Saturday during the school year (with the exception of cleaning the bathroom two days ago).
The dog gets a bath on Monday or Tuesday evenings, usually. My waking up at 5am has made a gentle move to 7am... then 8... then 9... now it's around 11am, but still going to bed around the same time. 12 hours of sleep, holla.
The point of all of this is, I think I need to start making daily TDLs. In case you're wondering, the laundry room still hasn't been tackled.
On another note, I recently saw my father-figure post this on Facebook:
"A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a man should have to seek Him first to find her." - Maya Angelou
That's so legit.
I'll let you know if I ever figure out how to accomplish it.
Trying to live like Christ is not for lightweights :)

Summer Lovin'
Tomorrow will make it a week since my summer break began. I think what people do when they have few obligations and a whole lotta free time can really give you some insight to their true character. I've done a whole lot of nothing, and yet been quite productive.
Last Thursday was... a rollercoaster, to say the least. In the end though, I'm going to Detroit, so I'm content :) Unfortunately, Canal Street got to see McCrazy go psycho. As Courtland said, "It's like Jerry Springer, without the making out."
Kinsey spent the weekend at my house, just laying in bed doing nothing as the rain poured. I think everybody needs one or two of those days - to do absolutely nothing, just watching movies and talking about everything and nothing with your best girl friend.
And then Monday, I got to work. My personality doesn't let me lounge around the house for too long; I get jittery if I don't have responsibilities or I go too long without working. All this extra time has finally given me the chance to efficiently complete projects I've been wanting to do for a while. Usually I'll clean the house on Saturday mornings just enough to make it presentable to guests... but the scary places or the barely-seen places never really get much more than a quick brush through.
I took every last item out of the kitchen, cupboards included, and did a massive clean sweep. Note: being 5'3 isn't effective for reaching in cupboards. While climbing around on the countertops, I was pretty certain I was going to die - but hey, I didn't :) It was pretty funk nasty cleaning around the things that got ignored for the past two years in the dark, scary corners. My dad came home while I was cleaning, looked at me, and said "did you take the dog out yet?" No, Dad, sorry. Fail.
Tuesday I did part two of my kitchen crusade. I took everything out of the fridge (including some unidentifiable substances, and expired food I hadn't realized was outdated... and ate just days before) and cleaned it top to bottom. That was when McCrazy called me, wanting me to go to dinner next week with her and the rest of her family. I still haven't decided if I'll go to that or not. It's a Catch 22.
And then today, the beach with the girls. It was relaxing, but SO hot. Little Josie, she's becoming such a teenager... she was laying out with big sunglasses and her iPod, jamming out. The gym unfortunately, didn't happen today... But tomorrow is the beach again with more of the girls :) And then Daniel study!
My next projects... sorting through my old school stuff to keep what I need, and clean sweeping the laundry / storange room.
