Work Out//No Use

ok so recently more than one person has told me that I don't have any upper-body strength due to lack of muscles in my arms.

So I played tennis today at the ball wall over at Jastro Park and my arm is sore but I'm proud of myself for still having some kind of form when it comes to tennis. I haven't played in months and months, not since like last summer. But today was perfect, the weather could not have been more agreeable, and I really needed something productive to do.

So, to anyone in Bakes who wants to play, now that I'm not in school, I'm down anytime I'm not working. Leslie & Keith play, too, let's make it a doubles tourney. ;)

Also, Can I just say how much I absolutely LOVE No Use's new album: "The Feel Good Record of the Year"??

My brother dl it for me and the only problem I have with listening to it is I can't sing along yet b/c I don't know the words. I love how they've reverted back to their old sound, the first few are more like Making Friends, one of their old albums. Then they go on to give you surprise after surprise. I love this album, it's going to be in my CD player for quite a while. :)

Sharol, Max, Andrew, & Ryan came over a couple times last week to swim, and can I just say that it amazes me how much Andrew grows up in just a week?
Every week they come over for Sunday dinner, and every week it's something new. I know that my sister sees him every day and notices these changes, but for me, it's like, "a week ago Andrew was NOT speaking in sentences." I just find it very interesting how fast kids really do grow. Makes me very excited to have some of my own... (not excited for lack of sleep or discipline, but you get the idea).

Work is work. I like my job a lot, and I'm looking forward to being promoted FINALLY.

Leslie & Keith are here! Yes, we DID play Risk, and declared Keith the winner when it got pretty late. score one for Keith, but he should be expecting a re-match.

Looks like I will be going to Utah for a visit sometime in September... these plans are tentative and yes, very much planned ahead, but I just thought my Utah friends might like to know that. :)

My camera is broken, or I would have some kind of documentation of my life. It won't quit zooming in; i have to take it to get fixed but I'm lazy.

I'm still debating school this summer. I need to catch up, but I also feel like maybe it's time for a break, even after only one semester. Although I feel like I have nothing to do, school just stressed me out a lot, and it shows. There were a lot of things going on this semester, I was super busy. I'm thinking about joining the gym Lauren L. goes to and taking some kind of yoga or pilates class or something... free tanning, etc. It would give me something to do over summer.
Any suggestions for ways to keep busybusy are welcome.

Currently Listening to: Awake Live by Josh Groban <-- this guys is amazing live, just as he is recorded. I happened to catch him on Jay Leno last night and he is ahhhhhmazzingggg.

Summmmmmmerrrr

School is OUT.
yesssa finally I can rest.
Ok i know BC isn't that hard, but I wasn't in school for like a year and a half, AND, when I was in hs, I NEVER did my homework, so that was a huge change for me. I finished out with straight B's, so congratulations to ME.

Friends... omg, I do not even want to talk about the stupid choices and drama lately. I'm so past this highschool stupidity.

I did just re-connect with some old friends, however. That was very nice and completely random... it just proves how small Bakes is.

Leslie & Keith are moving to Bakes for the summer!! yes, now I finally have someone to play Risk with... I bought it a few days ago just hoping that Matt would challenge me, but that was a no bueno plan for him. His excuse is that he hasn't played in forever. Neither have I, but I am willing to take him on (Little People, Big World is having some kind of effect on me, I guess).

Work... oh well, it's just work. I'm getting promoted NEXT month, or so they say. I'll most likely be saying that a year from now... but the class is on June 7 I think, so keep your fingers crossed. Let's just hope I can keep my tone of voice & attitude in check. (pfft!)

I heard from a little bird that 5th ward needs an adult leader for camp.... It just so happens that I have a few days open the week of girls' camp and absolutely LOVE Big Meadow.... so maybe my phone will be ringing soon. ;)

Anyway, that's all for now. No updates on stupid friend drama. I don't want to talk about it, it does not make me happy.

Until whenever... Happy reading.

update

this weekend gave me a lot of things to think about this week..

My bother's girldfriend Lauren made dinner for the family on Sunday and of course it was a hit. I'll post to recipe for the Stromboli when I have time, but until then, to make everyone jealous, here's who I get to play with every sunday.

I'm jealous that Sharol gets to spend every day with the cutest kid in the world. *sigh*

That's it for me for now, I have to go to school and not learn.
