When There's A Burning in Your Heart

Boy in library.

On phone.

Excessive hip poppin'.

Gettin' comfy with the bookshelf.

Hilarity ensued.

Awesome:

Today my brother and I bonded over type.

This morning I spent in the wilderness with coffee and my favorite Book and read about how He says, "I have made you, and I will carry you." 

Yesterday and Today I got to chill with my nephews.

Last night I actually legitimately gamed with minimal frustration.

Yesterday and Today I got to emphasize with a friend who knows my heart.

Tomorrow I am seeing Something Borrowed (with John Krasinski and Ginnifer Goodwin)!

This afternoon I had a lovely bonding/rant conversation with a friend with whom I am finding more in common with each and every conversation.

Tomorrow I think I'm buying new heels.

Today I wondered if I was the only person who doesn't watch Doctor Who.

Tonight I'm writing in my journal for the first time in a long time.

Tomorrow I get to people watch the elderly while I wait for my oil change.

Yesterday I heard the new Death Cab For Cutie single on the radio that I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HAS EXISTED FOR A MONTH. I blame finals.  

" 'Cause when you find yourself a villain, 

In the story you have written 
It's plain to see
That sometimes the best intentions 
Are in need of redemptions."

To be honest, I actually own three Sarah Dessen books, but I have only read one I don't own. I have Dreamland, The Truth About Forever, and This Summer. I've read This Lullaby. Everyone is absolutely raving about Stephanie Perkin's Anna and The French Kiss, so I have that on hold at the library, and Katie's recommendation of Jellicoe Road sounds really really fun. Looks like my list is piling up! PLUS whatever book we choose to read on here!

Home Sweet Home

This made me giggle.

Fantastic water pressure.
Free food.
My bed.
No homework.
My own room.
Time to read.
Starbucks.
The lake.
The beach.
Friends.
Sleeping in.
Baseball baseball.

It's summer, folks, and these things make me all fuzzy warm happy inside.
Except... I need a job.
Asap.

I HAVE SO MANY BOOKS I WANT TO READ. I am on a HUGE YA kick. I haven't read YA in so so long, and it's what got me hooked on reading... so this is absolutely fantastic. First on my list? Any Maureen Johnson. Suggestions?!

I need a job.
I suppose I need to fill out applications for this to happen.
Danggit.

I want my friends to be done with finals and come HOME for goodness sake.

I had an absolutely fantastic finals week, even though goodbyes were way harder than I thought they would be. And I got to watch Newsies on my last evening... and it ended up being one of my favorite evenings of the whole year. One of those moments (and places) you could just stay forever and be content. Sigh.

There is some quote out there about how you regret things you don't do more than things you do... or something like that. I regret something I didn't do that night. I never regret things I don't do! I'm usually so good at being okay with decisions I make. Bahh. Does this ever happen to you?

Anyway, I hope your finals are going well!

Ps: I hate the song Judas. Baaaah.
