Well, as usual, it's been a while. Hah.

I don't do much these days. I actually keep myself rather busy, but I think I learned to do that during months spent at home, sick in bed. It's almost like a self-defense mechanism or something. I work, clean the house (and get paid), watch playoff hockey, crochet stuffed animals, and complete other projects I come across. I'm currently helping my mom re-do the kitchen and I just finished a display board for Jessica's, Paul's girlfriend's, graduation party.

Most of my friends are finally finishing school and it's so nice to have them around again. I had lunch today with Casey, Stephen, Megan, Sean, and his roommate. Haha, I always forget how funny I think Stephen is around Casey. I really missed Megan; she hasn't changed at all, really. Friday Jessica, Casey, Sean Trombley, BABY/BIG BOY Chase, and I went to the Green Street Fair in DTP and it was kind of a let down.. But I did get some Ocean Salt from the Lush booth which is always good.. My mom had had a throbbing toothache for a few days and she finally went to the dentist yesterday morning.. They found out that a tooth they had previously put a crown on needed a root canal and was severly infected. My momma can be a trooper as far as pain is considered, and she was in tough shape yesterday, so I took care of her. I didn't really have a choice since Paul and Pete both left, but I figure it's the least I can do after all the time's she's taken care of my deathly-ill self.. She was better today; she could talk at least and supposedly she should be even better tomorrow.

Scraft is supposed to start on Friday, but (hahah) I have yet to register for classes.. I have to go see an academic advisor before it'll let me register, and I just think that's dumb, so I haven't gotten around to going. I'm planning on at least calling tomorrow if I don't make it up there. We'll see. I'm really not too worried.

I was supposed to take my grandma to Texas in a few weeks, but my uncle doesn't want her to get swine flu via Texas OR the plane, so he cancelled the trip. I've decided that it's the trip that isn't meant to be.

I'm thinking about going to Utah this summer to visit Miranda. I need to go somewhere, so I'm looking for destinations.

Apparently I will be a furniture refinishing guru by the time summer is over. I have an old, anitque chair in my room right now that I want to reupholster, and Jessica and Megan have both asked me to help them redo furniture for their future apartment/house. I think it'll be a blast and a half, to be honest.

No one has bought graduation party invitations from me. Granted, I haven't been overly agressive in my advertising strategies, but still.. I'm considering having a "package deal" on a display board + grad invites.. Regardless, I'm pretty sure that Michigan's economy is wearing on my business.

I desperately need to start working out again. I feel so out of shape it isn't even funny. I mean, I don't even walk around anymore! I don't go to school, so there is no where for me to walk! I went to State last weekend and I could barely keep up with the slowest walker I know -- pathetic. I also need to start eating all my organic stuff that I LOVE again. I miss having apples and grapes at the DC, as bizzare as that sounds..

Spring Arbor is not the place for me. No way, no how. I am not a good enough Christian for Spring Arbor. I don't know if there is such a thing, really, but that has been expressed to me by a few people, so as far as ever returning goes, no thanks. All I have to say is, don't call me your "best friend" if you don't ACTUALLY want to be my friend. I mean really. Hahah, I am sooo not a good enough Christian for Spring Arbor.

I feel like May has come really fast. It seems like Christmas break was just here, and summer before that. To be completely honest, my semester at Spring Arbor doesn't even seem real anymore. No one that I was friends with even talks to me anymore. But really, what did I expect?

I recently bought a fancy black dress that I looooveeee and I want a nice occassion to wear it to. I've been invited to three weddings for this summer, but I don't know if I'll go to any. One is out by Spring Arbor for a core-mate, and I really just don't fit in with my core very well. I feel awkward around them. Another is for a former good friend that I rarely talk to anymore.. I won't really know anyone at the wedding, but I do want to go. The third is for my cousin who isn't sending out formal invitations, apparently. Her wedding is on a beach in Florida, which sounds excellent, but I don't know if Paul will be able to go.

I think this summer is going to be good. I feel like it at least has potential.
