Yesterday I got sunburnt (!!!!!!!!!!!!) from working in the yard all day. Staying out late and forgetting to call home = yard work instead of Tolo. My dad and I cleared out some dead maple trees that were rotting and going to fall on the house, we then had to run them through the chipper, cut up what couldn't be run through the chipper and stacked the wood, and then we started working on the blackberry vines that have taken over my mother's shrubs. It was a lot of work!! I have some awesome burises and a few scratches.
Today I slept until noon which I haven't done in ages... Man, there's a part of me that is going to miss being woken up by my dad on weekends... a very small part....
I went out with Mom because Evan had a baseball clinic @ Ordway and I hadn't been out of the house/yard all weekend. We went into Island Sports to order Dad a new pair of shoes and I saw this pair of Teva flip flops which are amazing... Thank god my mother understands that one MUST buy Tevas before the mad rush. I think I'll wear them to school tomorrow. They're fabulous! Black soles with red detailing and multicolored stripe straps. They look a lot cooler than they sound...
We then went to Bainbridge Bakers and split a scone, I got my usual double tall non-fat vanilla latte and mom got a single tall peppermint mocha. I'm going to miss coffee with mom...
I keep making mental lists of all the stuff I'm going to miss and all the stuff I'm looking forward to getting away from. As graduation gets closer and closer it's sort of scary to realize that I'm going to be leaving the place that has been my home for 18 years. I've lived in the same house with the same phone number on the same street with the same people, gone to school with the same people forever! I'm going to miss walking into virtually any coffee shop and seeing at least one person I know. I'm going to miss running into long lost friends on the ferry. I'm going to miss the long lines at starbucks every morning. I'm even going to miss the ridiculous zoo that is BHS.
And where am I going? Ellensburg... Yee Haw... They better be prepared because that town will never be the same after I arrive ;)
I've been listening to the Beatles all weekend. I have Abbey Road, Magical Mystery Tour, Hard Day's Night, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band, Rubber Soul, Revolver, and a compilation album, Beatles 1. I'm working on getting the rest. I really want the White Album especially. Must keep hunting the depths of the internet... ;)
Until the next time I update...
Love
