Memorial day pics and my neighborhood

Great Memorial Day

Yesterday was super fun. I went to the parade with friends then we headed to Lake Michigan to build a sand castle. Pictures to come...

Movie Marathon

So I finally had a weekend where I could just relax. The past two weekends have been busy, so it's nice having a chance to breath. This past week I went through my-can't-get-asleep-until-2 a.m- phase again, which is really annoying. Yesterday I had time for a nap, yahoo!

I just finished my third movie for this weekend. One of our grocery stores here has this neat thing called the Red Box. You can rent a DVD for a $1/day. Even if you return it two days late, you're still not paying as much as you would at Blockbuster. Last night I watched Step Up. It's not the best dancing movie I've ever seen, but I found myself twirling around my apartment during some songs. After it I watched Because I Said So. It shows that just because a guy is handsome and has a good job, doesn't mean he's the guy for you. Women should be with men who appreciate them for who they are, quirkiness and all. Today I watched The Pursuit of Happyness. It was okay. I felt like it was too long, and a bit depressing. I guess I was expecting more happyness. I still need to watch The Queen.

I suppose I should put some laundry away before I go play for the evening. I really dislike folding and hanging up clothes.

My friends' wedding

This Saturday the months of planning finally came to fruition. My friends Amy and Dan got married at a park near here. God totally blessed them with beautiful weather. Our group of friends and family worked together to make it happen. We were all exhausted Saturday night, and a little red from all the sun we got.

New food

I tried the new Kraft Bistro Deluxe pasta tonight. It sounded good...sundried tomatoes, a little basil and a parmesan cheese sauce. Yeah, not quite. It had sundried tomatoes, but I didn't see any basil. And the parmesan cheese sauce was more like velveeta cheese with a few herbs thrown in. It wasn't horrible, but definitely not what I expected. I wouldn't buy any if I were you.

Mmm..mmm...good

Thought this was enlightening.

Random thoughts...

* Had the new Southwest Chicken Salad at McDonald's today. Zesty! I highly recommend it.
* Get my new glasses tomorrow. They're different, so it will be interesting to hear what people think. Then again, maybe it won't.
* I've been tired and unmotivated lately. I don't know what my deal is. It feels like I'm just going through the motions without much thought. Sleep doesn't come quickly at night, so I'm annoyed.
* Still haven't bought my plane ticket for my trip home in June. All the times out of here are wacky. I really don't want to ride the train to Chicago, so I guess I'll suck it up and deal with what I get.
* Yesterday my niece said, 'I uv you nen, nen.' She could say that to me every day, and I'd love it. :-)
* I think I might bake some cornbread to have with my fruit punch Gatorade. I know...weird combination.
* A cute house down the street for me is for sale. The wood floors look great in the pictures. The back yard needs some love. It really is a nice neighborhood right next to a park and swimming pool. Lots of kids riding their bikes and people out walking their dogs.Hmm....maybe....
* I have absolutely no idea of what God has for my future, and I'm trying to be okay with that.
* I feel like I can never get ahead financially. I start to, and something breaks or an unexpected expense arises.
* I had no idea I would live in Indiana for seven years. Holy cow...where has my life gone!
* Where did the phrase 'Holy cow' even come from?
