• 07/28/05 (7:56 AM): I finally did it. I filled my iPod. I also downloaded another Lostprophets CD, but I don't like it. I like Start Something, I do not like Fake Sound of Progress. I also finally prepared my hair to mail in. Took me long enough, eh? It will be mailed today. Tonight I have to usher a play for Merry-Go-Round, I'm missing softball. Then, this weekend, my family is in town, so I'll be busy. Have a great weekend!

• 07/26/05 (8:09 AM): I really don't have much to comment on. Last weekend I got to see my friend Chris, which was a pleasant surprise. He was passing through and gave me a call. Other than that, softball and work run my life. I've been working 45 hour weeks and neglecting IGNITE, which I need to do some work for. Oh, I did get whacked by a few balls last week that caused me pain. The hit to the ankle was alright, stung at first, but didn't cause me long term pain. It didn't even bruise (much to my disappointment). The one that hurt was the ball that the short stop on the other team whipped into my back (between spin and left shoulder blade) when she missed the tag and was trying to get me at third. The ump called me out on the tag, even though she missed me. I couldn't move my arm for the rest of the night and next morning. Better now, still a little soar if I sit down too fast. THe only other thing going on, is that I downloaded all kinds of music. I love love love Lostprophets.

• 07/18/05 (10:56 PM): Ok, quick update before I pass out. This weekend I worked at the Finger Lakes Wine Festival. I was originally planning on attending the festival, but then we got a call to work for Montezuma Winery both days. Hmm, spend money.... make money... so I worked. I now know almost everything about Martin's Honey Farm and Meadery, including their meads: Traditional Dry Honey, Cherry Melomel, Lake Effect Cranberry Apple, Raspberry Melomel, Golden Delicious, Traditional Semi-Sweet Honey, and Traditional Sweet Honey. Those were the Meads I was serving. I did get a couple 10 minute breaks to taste, but you could only go to about 3 wineries. I picked the ones with cute servers! I did buy two wines, one is a strawberry wine. It isn't that sweet, it was very smooth. The other was a Rose Cider. I really like the hard ciders, very refreshing. So, needless to say, I'm freakin tired. My legs are sore and we didn't get a lot of sleep. Off to bed I go.

• 07/12/05 (10:07 PM): Does anyone know how to tie a toga? I'm needing to figure it out. I'm going to the Launch of the Lakes party at the FInger Lakes Wine Festival, and I need to look good! Then I'm working and camping all weekend at the festival. It should be fun. So here is a picture of the hair. That is a 15" ruler, that my ponytail extends past.

  

  Also, my favorite thing to do lately is go to the bluffs and read as the sun goes down. It's nice and peaceful, a wonderful break from life.

  

• 07/06/05 (10:02 PM): The most joy filled time of the month for me... paying bills. I really hate it. You work so hard only to pay off debt. I'm starting to think I didn't have enough fun in collage to be paying off student loans... was it really worth it? Yea, I guess it was. I got a decent education and met cool people. Then you pay out the wa-zoo just to own and drive a car, which breaks and gives me more debt. It really blows.

• 07/06/05 (12:06 AM): Another month, come and gone. I say it every month, where did the time go. The birthday month is finally over. Damn, it was a rough one. My sign always is the rough one... but I made it through. I'm happier and stronger than before, and ready for my next adventure... I think I'm wearing Lydia out. The poor girl just wants to work in her yard and I take her all over the place! I hate sitting still! This weekend I want to go to the Cornhill arts festival and the RenFest. Not sure if I'll make either, but I'm going to try! I'm excited for the art festival because I want some new jewelry. I hate the jewelry in stores, I like the "home made" or natural feel. So picky.

  This past weekend I was in Canada. I love that place. I need to go more often. Cute boys in Perth bar too, but we only had enough Canadian currency for one drink... darn. We explored Lanark, a cute little town. We went in a variety shop and Lydia bought all kinds of stuff, including a table top, legs absent. If anyone out there is crafty and wants to help us find legs, let me know! I took photos, but like always, I have not sorted through them yet. So many photos I have, no time to go through them. Deal with it. On the trip home I had to stop to see Mary and that little Ham of hers. I couldn't resist my hug and kiss, he's such a sweet boy!

  This Thursday (7/7) is our IGnight at Daut's in Auburn, if anyone is interested. For details, visit the website.
