Well hey

Hi there. It’s me. I wrote a new post for you. I hope you will like it. It has pictures and words and things. It is so awesome I had to break it up into four separate posts so you wouldn’t get awesomed out.

Catching Up

When last I wrote—really wrote—it was the middle of June. Temperatures were reasonable, and I’d just moved into a new place (or rather, back into an old one) and started my new job. Now temperatures are taking a turn for the irrational, I am thinking of moving, and I’m plugging away at the job. Let us find out what happened between then and now….

(Here is the part where I admit I couldn’t actually remember most of the summer and had to consult my Twitter archives. [Twit-archives? Twarchives? Something cutesy that begins with "Tw" and indicates my past usage of an ephemeral social networking website?])

July

July was pretty okay. I worked, went to jiujitsu (helped with a women’s self-defense seminar), got to meet Meghan, and desperately wished I could go to Comic-Con.

I did not get to go to Comic-Con, but got to go home instead! Went dorm shopping with W, watched our favorite TV shows with W & K, went to dorky city festival with my dad, went grocery shopping with my mom (grocery shopping is like our thing, idk, it’s great). Got to celebrate my birthday with my family.

Celebrated with my KC peeps too. Well, celebrated with my girls, anyway; I neglected to inform my TV night peeps, and they ribbed me about it for a few weeks. Aaaaanyway.

Now I am going to tell a story about something that happened during July. It should probably be about my birthday, because birthdays are awesome!

I woke up to a gorgeous and hot day (which incidentally describes me, but I’m pretty modest so I won’t go on and on about it). On this, the day of my birthday, what do you think I felt?

I won’t tell you the correct answer, but if you know me at all or have read this blog for a while, you can probably guess.

Went ahead with birthday plans anyway. We got dressed up and went to see a movie at the Plaza theater. Afterward we went to Blanc just around the corner and had malts, shakes, and sweet potato fries. I remember sitting back in my chair, just enjoying the summer night, the food, and being with some of my favorite people. And then I thought, This is going to be the last fun I’ll have for about a week.

Which ended up being true. Although the Leverage marathon I had while I was sick was nice.

Later, when I was not sick any more, my roommate’s dog had puppies—five adorable little balls of fuzz who required a lot of looking after…
