so the summer is almost gone. almost time to go back to school, to start classes again (even if they never really ended for some), to see friends, to get on with our little lives. my summer has been alright. im not sure if i can chalk it up as a success though. on some levels it was. went to the beach 5 or 6 times, got to hang out with friends all summer, went to bham, had a job, passed a summer school class, bought a car (a used tahoe, i am so psyched). now that i think about it, this summer was really not that bad at all. but there were definitely some suck-ass parts. went to two funerals, issues involving new zealand, fought with my parents a lot. but in the end it has all worked out. the two funerals, as sad as they were, were for two completely different and amazing women that i new in my little life. both were in there 70's, thus it was understandable, but it was still hard. new zealand presented new problems that i didnt know how to handle/still dont know how to adequately handle. right now i believe that everything is going fine. i am learning how to be myself, learning how to just try to "coast" (as one girl would say) right now and learn how to be friends. problems with parents are nothing big, and nothing really that other kids dont argue about. right now everything is fine, perfect really. they have given me everything that i could ever want, every opportunity that one could ever have, i only hope that my kids will be as lucky as i am.
tomorrow i will go to the lake for kathleens birthday party. im sure it will be fun, i havent hung out with all that many godsquad kids this summer and definitely want to see all of them one last time. i havent gone to the ranch in about three weeks now. this really makes me sad. i think that i will go wednesday morning before i start serious packing duties. i want to get my real estate license for next summer. this paragraph sucked, i am all over the place.
so ive got back out my summer goal list. and i am pretty amazed, out of the 17 goals that i made for the rest of the summer i completed or stuck to 11 of them very consistently, and the other 6 more or less. i need these goal/to do list things. thats just how i run, its sad but my little brain is hardwired that way. the one that i have been the most disappointed with is the weight issue. i have only lost about 6 pounds, and am about 2 away from the goal. not that it even matters, im eating right and exercising regularly. but it would just be nice to attain this concrete goal that ive actually worked at.
time to go to the concord and wash my sisters car. looking forward to vandy, but not about leaving texas.
weight - 192 on a real scale
packing done - none
haircuts recieved - one today
beatdowns i gave johnny in ping pong - probably a million
