summer '08 as of late

its been SO long since I have been on here to post anything so I decided to make a list of all the things I have been doing since summer began..

• going out to eat with friends (ie Chipotle, Lou Malnatis Mongolian bbq, Panda Express, Jimmy Johns, Noodles..) also going for icecream or coffee (Baskin Robins, Starbucks...)

• watching movies!!! movies in the theater i have seen thus far would be: Nim's Island, Made of Honor, 21, Iron Man, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, & What Happens in Vegas. movies that I have rented: Shrek, Indiana Jones 3, I am Legend, 27 dresses, Breakfast on Pluto (would NOT recommend), PS I Love You, Ratatouille..

• camping!! Me & my friend Hannah put up a tent in my backyard & camped all night out there- well we set up the tent around 3AM so I guess it was all night but yeah.. we had fun.

• late night hang outs with friends- a couple times now I have received phone calls at like 10:00 or 11:00 PM from friends asking if I wanna hang out. I can never say "no" so there have been several nights where I dont go to bed until 2, 3, or even 4AM & then I get up to go to work the next morning at 6:00... not always such a good idea.

• sleepovers!! only have had a few so far but each time I do it has been great fun!!

• playing cards- my family is addicted to this card game called Knartz or Blitz (whichever you prefer) but seriously my parents play it EVERYDAY & I really am not exaggerating. I have always been a big card lover & my family has been playing Knartz my entire life so I simply have just grown to love the game myself! I enjoy playing with my friends & family & its totally a game you could play for hours and never get sick of it!

• Cleaning- since I currently have the days off ( the kids I nanny for are still in school) I have been using that time to get clean & organized. Since I am the only kid still living at home I have taken over two rooms instead of just my own.. therefore I have two rooms to keep clean & that hardly ever happens... but now they both are CLEAN!! well kind of.. lol

• Shopping!! this past semester I lost 10 lbs & since last year I have lost a grand total of 18-20 lbs!!! woohoo! so.. none of my pants fit me anymore & therefore I HAD to go shopping to get some new ones :) so far so good!! its been fun spending my birthday money on new cute clothes for the summer! BUT before I went shopping, I first went "shopping" in my closet & tried all my clothes on & if I wouldnt buy what I was wearing in a store then I got rid of it. I filled an entire big black trash bag full of clothes! it was a good feeling...

• facebook vs. e-mail- I use to e-mail people ALL the time & I would get so excited to check it everyday but now... its lost its excitement & I blame facebook. Facebook is great & I love it cause its an excellent way to keep in touch & re-connect with friends new & old! but I decided that this summer I am gonna try to get back into e-mails again... we will see how it goes.

• Peoria- we went there for Mother's Day & had a great time! & we are going there again this weekend! :)
  

thats abt all I can really think of right now.. I'll try to be better abt keepin this thing updated in the future.
