brain dump

-yesterday we went car shopping because i NEEEEED a car. it was a little discouraging and maybe put me in a mood for a little bit BUT... oh well. on the way home we got stuck in north shore traffic and without ac in the car (ps the car we test drove had ac and i think chris and i were in heaven!!) we were pretty much sitting in a sauna. sooooo we pulled over and got a shave ice doused in strawberry falvoring. hence the picture

-i am working a looooot more hours now and got promoted to a cash lead. soooo that entails a raise (not much, booo) and all closing shifts. it doesn't suck and i'm SO thankful to be working but maybe i told chris yesterday that i wanted a vacation to go do all the fun things in hawaii. i feel like we don't do a lot. guess thats life. work work work and a little play. i live in paradise...can't complain too much.

-i talked to my mom about plans for when we go to my home in california the beginning of september. i.am.EXCITED. gonna be a gooooood week.

-our neighbors are suddenly really loud ALL the time. where have they been since i've been here because this is the first i've heard of them. vacation maybe? either way. STOP BEING LOUD! swimming and screaming past midnight is NOT cool. my window is right by your backyard. blah.

-4th of july weekend was awesome and i have lots of fun pictures to prove it. i will post those later though.

-costco is selling the book "to kill a mockingbird" right now for 10 bucks. its the books 50 year anniversary and i LOVE it. it is my most favorite classic book and was the reason i decided to become an english teacher. if you have not read it GO BUY IT!

-the sun has not been shining the past week until AFTER i go to work. seriously annoying. i am losing my tan and i am getting maximum annoyed at that. hey hawaii...its july...STOP raining all the time. thanks.

thats all for now. more pictures from the 4th coming later!
