Since one

It was really great having Kirsten come visit for a few days. I wish she could've stayed longer though. It feels really good to know that even though I haven't seen her in years, things still feel the same between us, and we're still best friends. I love that even though we've been so far apart and spent half of our teenage years living different lives, it still feels like just yesterday we were playing with barbies and catching frogs in her backyard. I really hope she comes back up to Connecticut or Maine so we could see each other more. The only bad thing about her coming to visit is having to say goodbye all over again.

I have to go back to work on Thursday, which is a really hard thing for me to do. I really have a hard time doing what I do and dealing with the people I deal with. I'm absolutely dreading it. My co-workers are great, but the job is just so physically and emotionally draining. I hate to sound so negative, but aside from Kirsten coming to visit, I've had very little fun this summer. No beach, no road trips, no friends, no nothing. I really hope things can become more positive.

To all my friends: summer's not over yet, give me a call!

p.s. I STILL can't drive on the highway :-/
p.p.s. Kirsten, I PROMISE I'm coming to Maine with you as soon as possible!

"Oh the humanity!"

I seriously cannot get over how hilarious this was when I was little, and it still kills me to watch it. I'm so glad my generation got all the awesome Nickelodeon shows!

Don't mind the end where whoever made the video messed it up with a lame voice-over.



:-D

HPP

I was in the paper today with one of my students from swimming lessons!



She's only 6, she was really brave!

I feel bad Arielle didn't get in on the picture, she was in the water below us helping catch all the kids!
