All art is quite useless.

People do not like to buy flowers for their father's, but boy do they LOVE balloons. I didn't think this morning was going to be busy in the slightest, but I was so wrong. Also, I didn't realize Father's Day was complain about everything day....sometimes working in customer service makes me want to cringe. What can you do? It is money after all, and not even enough money at that. Yes, the time has come to get a second job. Where? I have no idea. Hancock Fabrics had a help-wanted sign in their window, and I had half a notion to ask if they would hire me- even if I knew nothing about sewing and basically nothing about fabric. I wonder if the same crazy people that buy father's day balloons also buy fleece. In which case, I am definitely prepared.

I went shopping with my mom on Friday and started decorating my room! It finally looks like its being lived in. Yes, my television is sitting on a microwave stand from Goodwill (or Goodies, as my mom randomly calls it) but thats alright, I'm not complaining, I'm bragging in fact because it was a whole 8 dollars. I also snatched this cool looking lamp that looks like an oil lamp, but in fact its not. Trippy. After the shopping excursion, we went to the OP and had a beer! It was awesome. My mom is one of the coolest people I know.

California is confirmed. At the beginning of August, I will be going back with Jackie and Bree, and hopefully Kyle and Megan. I am beyond excited, but this also means I need to start saving up. I have some time, but I always feel like August gets here faster than any other month. I've realized that Sunday is the same way, the week starts and before you know it, its time for Jesus and cleaning. August is just one big Sunday really, if you think about it.

I've heard Toy Story 3 is really good stuff. Allison told me I would cry, since I do that on a number of occasions I don't doubt it. I don't know how awkward that will be with the 3D glasses on, but regardless, I still want to see it. I want to see a movie period, I feel as if I haven't been in awhile. I am also craving a drive-in movie like crazy. Its sad that we don't have any around the Waterloo/CF area anymore. I would definitely be there if we did.

I might be going to Clinton with Hattie this week, or sometime soon. I hope it happens, because then I could see her mom (who is awesome) and her dogs! Plus, it would be much better than sitting in CF waiting for something to happen. I have been doing some reading though, with the extra time. The Picture of Dorian Grey is what I'm reading now, and honestly I've realized just how much I love Oscar Wilde.

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely. All art is quite useless. -Oscar Wilde
