Summer started on Monday, and I missed it! How did that happen? Finals are over, school is done; how did I miss the beginning of summer? I don't want to miss one bit of it anymore. Unfortunately, life isn't that easy.
I'd love to be young and care-free again, to watch t.v. 'til the break of dawn. I dream of driving off in the early morn for who-knows-what to come home in the evenings for an impromptu pool party. I want to spend a lazy day at home in my jammies, prepared for a marathon of movies and a series of shows to watch. I just want free time to do stuff. I don't care what that stuff is, as long as it has nothing to do with an eight hour obligation.
Oh, the taste of the real world, it is bittersweet. I don't enjoy the toil, but I do love the reward. This summer's plans aren't what I want, but it's God wants for me. This summer is for learning, for growing, for attempting to understand God's plan for my life. Let's see where this summer takes me; hopefully, I'll update more!

Everyday Grace
God gives grace like no other!
I most totally do not deserve the grades, but God has blessed and kept me by His grace--including all other aspects of my life for the past two months.
God has just showered me with His blessing with a job, supportive family and friends, and wisdom to name a few. This isn't a joke. I asked, and He gave. There was so much to learn and be grateful for. One thing that God continually reminds me to do, is to live out 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. It's by His grace that I will.
Let's get together for some stories. I'd love to share with you!

Hangin'
Remember my Surf City Half Marathon? The toes took a beating. Now my toenail is hangin' by a skin. Just thought you should know.
P.S. The other two are still too gruesome to look at, but I do it anyway. Scratch that. I don't look; I ogle over it. Haha! Ew.

Bu--ons
I-'s a -ery la-e Sa-urday nig--, and I would lo-e -o s-ar- on wri-ing papers for my final week of s--ool. Don'- ask -ow i- -appened, i- jus- did. W-a- s-all I do now? Borrow a -ompu-er? Buy a new one? Maybe i- would be more effe--ie if I did i- --e old-fas-ioned way--wri-ing by -and. I'm a bi- frus-ra-ed, bu- flabbergas-ed a- --e w-ole si-ua-ion. I'm reminded of a book I read long ago, Ella Minnow Pea. I- is a fi--ional s-ory abou- a -ommuniy and i-s leaders, w-o de-ided -o slowly remo-e le--ers from --e alp-abe- as --e s-ory progressed. How does i- rela-e -o my si-ua-ion? Well, I find i- ex-ep-ionally diffi-ul- in finding synonyms for words I would use o--erwise, -en-e --e -yp-ens. Ella Minnow Pea is an in-eres-ing read. I jus- mig-- read i- again. Hopefully, --is problem will go away if I res-ar- --e sys-em. Here's -o -ope.
O-, wai-! I found a solu-ion! T-ose missing le--ers appear only if I use --e s-if- key! Howe-er, my papers wouldn'- look as professional or impressi-e if I use --e following:
abCdefgHijklmnopqrsTuVwxyz
THaT would be ridiCulous. And I Tried using THe Caps loCk buTTon--fail. WHaT To do in suCH liTTle Time.
EDIT: Problem solved! All my computer needed was some R&R! Saved me a ton of money.

Ketchup
Time to play catch up with blogging and such.
Die Familie: My momma had a quiet celebration with the fam including Nicole. She had everything, a giant pancake from the Guasti Homestyle Cafe (her fave breakfast stop), browsing stores at the Ontario Mills, and an early dinner at Yashima (the family's beloved Japanese joint). My parents are growing into their years, so we all need to watch how we treat our bodies. Philip is graduating next month. Yep. NEXT. MONTH. Mitch is hustlin'--in getting his school stuff situated! It's about time! I look at my little, little brother, and I don't see him so little anymore. They're both not little anymore, and I miss 'em being so young and carefree. Time waits for no one, for sure. I'm happy to watch these two grow into young men, though Mitch has a lot more growing. Why are they growing up so fast?! Nicole is as sweet as ever. The other day, she baked these bomb choco chip cookies. Choco ANDES MINTS cookies! Deeelish.
Die Schule: The quarter is just about halfway through! I've made a friend or two or three, including an accountability partner! God has mosdef answered my prayers about having friends at school, let alone a sister in Christ!! PtL, for sure!! And I've some challenges ahead of me, and I'm ready to tackle 'em. Which reminds me, I've got a massive case study to handle by Friday.
Die Arbeit: Crazy. Unpredictable. Tiresome. I have a job, but don't. I tutor on days the kid has math homework. Aside from tutoring, I pretend I'm an arsty-crafty type o' gal. I make stuff, doodle stuff, and other stuff. I tried the Etsy thing, but it didn't succeed much. My motto: Try, try, and try again! What about picking up a temp job at a credit union as an accounting clerk? Thank God for an opportunity like this!
Das andere Ding: Sheesh. There's so much more to say and do! I want to do this. I need to do that. "I'll tell you about it. When are you free?" type stuff. I mosdef need to fix up this computer. My dad recently wiped my hard drive clean because it contracted a virus. Yep. Sucks, but it's like brand new now. I just don't know what happened to my Google Sidebar, that icon tray at the top, and my scrolling sidebar on the touch pad. Help me. On top of that I need to download all these things I need and upload other stuff. Wah.
I need to handle this business. We'll ketchup soon! And like I almost always say, "Pictures to come soon", but it never is soon enough. You still love me, don't you?
