Hello blogglites! Similar to that of Seattleites...and when speaking of Seattle, one must think of Twilight. Of course? So, last night the new Eclipse part of Twilight came out and with a tiny bit of embarrassment, I could not wait to go see it tonight. I actually just got back from watching it with my lovely roommate. I think it's funny how I've seen all 3 movies with her. It is such a tradition that I honestly don't know if I could watch it in theaters with someone else for the first time. First time after Dos Amigos with Morgan and then the second after a football game and concert with Betty and Robert. Good times, Twilight. Now, I won't talk about the movie (or how much I love Jacob Black) but I think this picture is what needs to be on for today:
Anyway, the past two days have been marvelous. I got to talk to Mom (Stacey) yesterday! She called right as I was going over to watch the Portugal/Spain game with Christine (LA FURIA ROJA!)and honestly it was so nice to hear from her. Apparently her summer is going a bit like mine and despite how much I love getting paid/working, watching the World Cup and being a bum...I think it's time I make something of this summer. I need to get on it. I know I have long term goals but why not make some short term ones? I like lists and crossing things out on them so that may be a nice remedy for many things. Perhaps I can use Caribou cups for inspiration-who knows. I'm very excited that this weekend is coming up. I need a breather. Too bad I'm not in Boone for an App Manor reunion. Now...on to finishing the Harry Potter books. Number one on my list of things to cross off.
It is the time to make mistakes
Ok, so I have realized that I could get used to this summer away from ASU deal HOWEVER it is only because I just realized that I really do talk to my app friends fairly often. Last night I get a text from Betty from camp and then both Anna and Lauren decide to join in on the texting fun. It's funny to think about how insane I would go if I were to never talk to my Apps ever again. Even though I think it'll never be the same, it is amazing how they keep me from going insane and vice versa. Come to think of it, the picture is actually from Cassie, another wonderful ASU friend-check out her blog! http://s-organic.blogspot.com/
Today I think Betty gets my secret letter and today Dallas and I (Crackhead's sister) realized that Betty might be home in Wilmington this weekend AND it's a huge coincidence that I may be there also!! Could you imagine that? My favorite holiday, at one of my favorite vacation spots with one of my all time favorite people in the world!? GAH. But, we'll see. Regardless, it'll be nice to know that I will be in Wilmington near the Caulkins. The family beach trip is not 100% but it's definitely getting there. On another note, work sucked today. Especially because I didn't get to lay out with Bekah and Stinky. Chile lost, and cramps decided to attack today. Yet, the week can only get better! I am watching Eclipse twice! Wednesday with Kathryn (of course) and then Thursday with Christinky and Bekah. If we literally go to Wilmington AND I see Betty-the prize for the best week of summer is definitely won. I was very productive today but I still have a shit ton to do. I need to buy/get Katie's PRAXIS book so Lauren and I can study (study study with snacky snacks at McAlisters) and I need to buy some clothes (for fun) but I also need to pay bills. Oh well, I can just use this week's massive check for all of the above. I forgot how awesome it was to get paid and dammit, I love it. Despite the fact that I'm covered in mosquito bites, I think i'm going to go outside and train the original chicharito.
Hit me with your best shot, July.

I have not blogged in what seems like a very long time. I am now out of school, at work and with some new goals in mind. However, blogging has always been kind of a pride issue and I don't like saying I have a blog (I'm not too sure, please no offense) but I want to keep one. So to make my pride and self esteem feel better I am going to do this another way for me homecoming blog.
Hey Betty!
Thank you so much for calling from camp today! I swear I had just left my phone for 2 seconds to help dad with something and when I come back i have a missed call from no one else but you! Sneaky crackhead. Well, aside from that it was wonderful to catch up and hear how you're being an amazing counselor. Those girls' lives will never be the same. You did ask how/ what I was up to. Now, despite the fact that our souls are connected I will tell you a bit about all that. I am currently working 100% at Showmars and with IBOEVENTS as I mentioned. I think I am getting pretty burned out with Showmars, I love my fellow coworkers and that I can almost literally work with my eyes closed...I just think it may be time to move on. We'll see, I always say that and never mean it. Baha.I just like that comfort (as I'm sure you know). However, the other job started with my friend, Katie, whose aunt has like this event thing where I am now helping them translate papers, emails and in conferences etc. I really like this because I've noticed that I really have to work some more on my Spanish. It's pathetic what words I have to look up sometimes. Ah, so now we get into things that I should work on and that I want to start working on....
1. Much to your surprise, as you said, I am now beginning to eat fruits(pineapple, raspberries, apples, and bananas-daily!) and VEGETABLES (cucumber, corn and lettuce-I am starting small)
2. I have gotten into running and really just want to be healthier.
3. I've been rediscovering my pride in Mexico during the World Cup
4. I have loved being outside(despite the scorching heat gag-Boone breeze, I miss you) and
5. I have taken it upon myself to help Chris (16 year old) to train for his high school's soccer tryouts
6. I'm beginning to seek new ways to speak Spanish
So, with all this being said, I think I just need a very healthy outlook on life. I need something new to attach my energy towards (besides my new kids that I'll get in August!) I just don't feel like I'm making a difference in anyone's life right now and I usually thrive on that. But we'll see. Thanks for the pep-talk and for a new way to begin my blog. I'll leave you with this picture.
