Memorial Day

Stranger tread lightly,
'tis holy ground here;
in death's cold embrace
a soldier sleepeth here.
And you who are listening:
may you look upon his grave
and be proud of the fallen soldiers
brave.

Summer and long weekends..

It's been a couple weeks since my last post. I think. Lol. I didn't happen to check to see...seems like a long time for me. Business with the end of school, beginning of summer, long weekend (hooray!) and just life in general. Had some crazy stuff happen in the last few days that I wasn't expecting. Pretty draining but l'm glad I was there for them.

So...summer's looking to be a pretty busy time. All of June is pretty booked, July looks to be relaxing, and August is my birthday and our wedding anniversary. Then school starts...and suddenly, summer seems a lot shorter than I wish... Heh. Remember as kids, summer seemed to last forever and everything was magical. Though, summer is still pretty magical for me, but it's that type of magic that's more grown up? Not sure what the right term for it is.

Just finished reading Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book. Amazing book.Very intriguing storyline and the way he deals with death and mythological things in a very...understandable way. It's a children's book, and talks about death in a very non amazing way, also his interactions with ghosts and Vampires and Werewolves...all portrayed as nonamazing things, sometimes bad, sometimes good. It's a book I will read to my kids eventually.

Sunday...

Ah, weekend. It's a wonderful thing, especially when knowing there's only one more final and then it's officially summer-time! Good thing too. Starting to get hot outside. Meh. My poor hubby has till Thursday or Friday though...so that sucks. But only one more week till summer!

I'm sitting here on the couch, drinking french press coffee with homemade whipped cream and having some yogurt. Good breakfast. And this coffee is really good. I'll probably never go back to drinking drip coffee again.

Nothing too exciting going on. Tired. Watched Sweeney Todd last night. Summer's just around the corner and everything feels like it's holding its breath, waiting for something to happen....

Only one more week.....

Testing? Hooray! It's working again. Something was screwing around with the Template. Anywhoo, fixed it!

It's almost summer time! Just 2 finals and 2-3 papers to go!! And one more week. Just one more week, and then all I have to worry about is going to and from work. I'm so happy and excited. I have all these projects planned out.

The first being finishing organizing and cleaning our apartment so it's more manageable and uses the space well. I already cleaned up our bedroom as best as I could, with the exception of going through old clothes that I need to, it's all set and ready to go. I'm basically going room by room. So next up is our living room. Going through it, cleaning it, and moving Aaron's desk into our bedroom so he can be working in there while I'm reading in bed and stuff like that. I think we'll put it up against hte window or something....Anyway, that's the plan. Then the other bedroom. It's full of random boxes and stuff we need to clean up. I'm going to enlist the help of a friend. Hehe.

Then I can decorate! That makes me happy. I have loads of pictures and stuff I want to do/make to decorate our place. Also get a good little coffee table since we really don't have a dining room, that's usable at least. It's perfect for two people but...we don't even eat in there. We enjoy eating on the couch. So need to get a nice coffee table or something I can decorate. I also am going to get some slipcovers for our wonderful couches. So...plans are all there. It's just starting them that's hard because of school and business. Hopefully this week/weekend.

One of my favorite plans for this summer is taking a dance class with my friend Janelle. I'm really excited about it!

Back to work. Need to do some projects and then back to studying.

Happy Birthday!

Is wishing her sister a very happy 19th birthday!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!! We love you and miss you...
