"In summer, the song sings itself."
-- William Carlos WilliamsToday finally felt like summer. I woke up late, stayed in my pajamas and read the paper and some of O Henry, got dressed and went to Target with Mom, read a little more, and completely redesigned my MySpace. What do you think of it?
I got a new desk lamp because mine never actually worked. The sad thing is that I've had the lamp for about four months now, and it's been little more than a decoration.
The reason Mom and I went to Target was to start buying things for my dorm room at Woodbury, but when we got there and started looking around, I couldn't buy anything. I'm not ready to start thinking about moving away yet. I had already spent all morning filling out forms for Woodbury and that was enough for one day.
I bought Mom a gorgeous ring at a jewelry place also. It is some kind of topaz that is a deep greenish-blue. It's not often that I get to buy my mommy presents! I think my love language is definitely gift-giving.
I've been keeping up on internet news and I haven't heard anything about a plane crash, so I assume Cody got to England safely. I miss him terribly, but I know he's having a great time. In the next two weeks while he's gone, I'm going to read the Lord of the Rings books (they're his favorite), whiten my teeth (or at least try to -- did you know that American Indians have naturally brownish teeth and bones? I always though they were brown, and now I know it's not from drinking tea and coffee), organize my room, get in touch with friends I haven't seen in ages, visit my grandparents, and take a trip up to Woodbury.
My toenails are a cheerful orange color to celebrate the coming of summer. And this summer is indeed a reason to celebrate! Cody is coming home, my dad will be home (he's still off work from the surgery, but he's healing miraculously -- praise God!), I'll see Mom every day at work, Chelsea and I are making plans for Tahoe trips with the group and a couple concerts, Lanie from up north (hi Lanie!) is coming to visit, and like I just mentioned, we're getting some friends together to go to the Tahoe cabin! I am in love with summer. I love the long days and short nights, the hot beaches, the barbeques in the backyard, the annual trips to Tahoe, the tanned skin and lightened hair, the pool parties, the 4th of July at the Ackermann's, Cruisin' Grand, sleeping with the fan on -- these are my summers.
My toenails are dry so it's time for bed. Goodnight, dear reader! Happy summer!
