100th ENTRY!!!


Here is my 100th entry. If I had kept with my plan of writing every day I would have several more. Mep. Things just aren't always very interesting.


I turned the air conditioning on today. I prefer to have the windows open, but it's just too warm. There are big fluffy white clouds in the sky. there's moving quite quickly. I wonder where they're going.

I had slimfast for lunch. Not so much because I'm on the slimfast program but just because I didn't feel like eating much. I've been eating a lot lately. I think it's because I've been so cranky. I think I've been so cranky because I've been too busy & not busy enough but not just regular busy which evens my mood.

I went to see Hair at the Whole Art last night. A girl from their cast died yesterday and obviously they were all feeling it, but the show must go on and so it did in her memory. I thought she had died in a car accident because that's how most young people I know who've died have died, but turns out it was a drug overdose. It's just as sad but with a little bit of head-shaking mixed in. She was only 18.

Hair is one of my least favorite shows ever, but they did well with it. I was entertained throughout. I always think the nude scene is too hyped up.


Ari's bachelorette party is tonight. I have to go buy her a present but am feeling pretty lazy and so have not even left the house yet today. I think it's acceptable though. This is the first Saturday I've just been able to lounge at home in awhile. I like going out of town, but here is nice too.

Next weekend is the fourth of July. Sarrah's birthday. I should buy her a present too. Perhaps while I'm out shopping for Ari. Perhaps later. It'll get done. It'll all get done in due time.

Last night I had Burger King at 11:00 while I watched episodes of Dead Like Me on Netflix. I need to stop eating so much fast food. I need to start cooking. I'm not sure what I'm waiting for. Maybe I'll go grocery shopping today. I might take a nap.

Excerpts from camping


Friday, 6-20-08
11:23 p.m. I have a flashlight strapped to my head. Kendra loaned it to me. That's because of the camping. It's happening all around me. Brandon & Emily are trying to read but sometimes I make too much noise. Sometimes they make too much noise.

Earlier as Kendra, Emily & I were walking to the bathroom to brush our teeth, I was swinging the flashlight and asking, "Hey, guys, what am I?" First, I was Kendra in her flashlight hat swinging on a swing, then I was Kendra in her flashlight hat saying no, then I was Kendra in her flashlight hat caught in a tornado. The girls weren't interested. They never guessed at all. They didn't want to play with me so I played with myself. That's what she said. Later when I walked Brandon to his car to get more water from the trunk I played the game with him. His guesses weren't very good but he humored me and laughed appropriately.


Saturday 6-21-08
8:26 a.m. This forest floor is one hard mofo. There's a black & white dog with a red collar just running all around the campsite by himself. Probably chasing squirrels. By himself. Where are his owners?

8:48 a.m. Am sitting alone out by the fire pit. Kendra says an animal attacked her tent last night by trying to get our food. There are bite marks in her tent. We think it was squirrels.

9:30ish We ate breakfast. Lauren found an Indiana Jones Adventure sppon in the Frosted Flakes.

2:57 p.m. Random items fell out of my purse during a beach walk. They still seem to work though which is a big plus. We had lunch around noon and I learned how to play Euchre. Pete & I beat Emily & Brandon best 2 out of 3. Due to confusion I may have been inadvertently cheating through 1.5 of those games. My bad.

3:54 p.m. Got called away to play catch with a football & frisbee with Kendra & Pete. I play sports like I imagine Luna Lovegood would. It rained for the bulk of the morning. It's sunny now but quite windy as we sit on the beach. Pete's reading The Firm, Brandon's reading about Obama & Emily's sleeping with her Mayflower book on her lap. Lauren & Nick are just chatting. Kendra went back to the campsite because a friend of her's is coming.

12:51 a.m. (Sun.) We went to South Haven. Mini golf closed. Ice cream fell on ground. Sleeping bag got sprinkled on. Was hard to get along with.

Then we went home on Sunday but I didn't journal about that since it was mostly just packing & driving. I can't believe that there's not a single mention of the tires on the beach or Brandon's neckroll. Sloppy journaling, Mary, Sloppy.

When there's nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire.

Ha, I haven't update since May 19th. You'd think more would've happened, but it hasn't. I was up north last weekend. It was lovely & lazy and yet one day at the office just about undid all the good of vacation. There's stress there. I'm watching Bones on TNT. She loves her job, she feels passionate about it. Someday I'd like that. I may be too lazy.

I guess I'm not very interesting as I can think of no stories worth blogging. Stories come with conversation, blogging is all one-sided and nothing inspires. I like up north. Next weekend I'm going camping. I only have to drive one hour. I like that. I have my sleeping bag & my roasting forks. I'm ready. Now I'm going to eat some peach sorbet.
