Meh

So I know I promised pictures of Germany, but I popped in all the cds with my pictures on them just now and my computer has decided not to read them. I can't figure out if it's because my computer is a mac or if it's because I bought the cds in Germany. Probably a combination of the two. They seem to work fine in everyone else's computers. I'll have to get them from Emmy.

Here is a picture of my nephew I put on here for no other reason than that I like it. And I don't have a specific picture for this post but feel weird having no picture at all.

Anyway, I'm off work and not accomplishing much. I've found that during the summer if I don't have school, I sleep too late in the morning, then go straight to work, stay up too late doing nothing, and then start the process over again. As a side effect, I accomplish nothing and feel exhausted. Then on my off week I'm exhausted and fritter away the hours as well. I have lists of things I want/need to do, but man have I become good at sleeping whenever there's daylight. I did celebrate Canada Day at William Jame's Weenie Roast yesterday, so that was awfully exciting, and there's some sort of Mud based event happening on Saturday in Moroni, so I might hit that up. I opted not to do the whole Lagoon thing for the 4th this year--my sister Kim and her husband started this tradition a couple of years ago that I've been pulled into, but it's hot, I don't really dig Lagoon's rides in my increasingly older state, and it just keeps getting more expensive. I have fun with them and their 2 kids, and the last 2 years my lil sis and her husband have been there as well, but we're both opting for the low key celebration this year. No money, and no exhaustion. Perfect. So this year me and Ash are planning on a bbq at my parent's, or possibly my oldest sister and her family's house in Lindon.

It's kind of amazing that it's so late in the day already. I've decided that the events for the day include doing laundry and throwing as many pots as I can so I can light up my kiln for the first time this week and have something to fire in it. I'm also going to see Wall E sometime today, if I can find the perfect time for everyone involved.

I fully agree w/your stance on Lagoon... This mud event you speak of sounds intriguing, wish I could be there. Saw Grace Cathedral yesterday-you know the Decemberists song-beeutiful. Oh, and I really dig your pic, I member those Saturday mornings munching cereal and watching cartoons as some of the best ever.

Melissa! I LOVE that picture! Very very cute!! Good job :)

Did you see WallE? Did you love it? I've decided that it's one of the best movies I've seen this year. That and Iron Man, probably :)

Also, what is this about a kiln?? Do you really have one?? Can we make something awesome and cook it?
