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 I took everything out of the fridge (including some unidentifiable substances, and expired food I hadn't realized was outdated...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.
