July 8 – July 14

After six months of writing these silly little monthly posts, I can see patterns in my life that I didn’t really know existed. First of all, apparently I am no longer quite the homebody I’ve always known myself to be. Some weeks, this means that I was far, far too busy and suffered for the lack of personal time. Some weeks, things were just normal. In retrospect? Just boring.

I am changing. Life is changing.

I’ve been busy and I’ve been busy and I’ve been busy, but this week took the cake. All sorts of crazy, big-decision stuff going on, general work/life, saying goodbye to friends, impromptu picnics, and culminating with a drive to Michigan.

(That took 18 hours and 2 new tires. And I forgot my wallet.)

This week, though, will certainly amount to a boring report. Michigan without the threat of homework or impending school is the type of lazy I’d forgotten about. Video games in your pajamas lazy. Too lazy to eat a proper meal. Didn’t leave the house to even buy a cup of coffee lazy. Being stupid with my sisters. Should be riveting. Stay tuned.

Listening to:

• Got to listen to the last few discs of Daughter of Smoke and Bone with Lance… what a great re-read!
• WTF interview with Molly Shannon was so good. I love listening to smart, successful, hard-working women share their lives.
