When You Wish Upon a Starr.

Summer is half over. Honestly, I've started to realize that the fourth of July is a warning. Once the holiday has come and gone, its time to go back to the summer list if there is one, and attempt to do everything possible. While mine may not be extensive or enviable in any small certain way, I still hope to put some kind of dent in it. Most of my summer's in the past three years have been a blur. Lots of rehearsal, Perkins, and good company. However, hardly any free time. This summer, a bit more free time than desired, Fleurs, and missing the old company but keeping new. Its been interesting, but so different. At first, I looked at it with uncertainty. Now, I see opportunity.

I started my second class of the summer on Tuesday. Humanities. Not extremely challenging, just time consuming. As I have acquired a lot of extra time, really, I guess I should be grateful. But I'm not. I think the scientists who are trying to find a cure for cancer should be awesome, and do that first. Then, second on the agenda: Reading through Osmosis. Think about it. Instead of spending hours reading textbook material, you could just absorb that shit up! I love to read, but sometimes reading 100 pages of anything is tiring and also not extremely rewarding. At the end of the passage, you're finished. But unless you take extensive notes (How about no) you've got nothing to show for it. Perhaps this is why I have such a terrible short term memory. My quota is too full of random dates from the French Revolution. Oh seigneur.

Yesterday I was able to see Jackie before she jetted off to Europe. Coffee talk at the Cup. Megan was there also, and the three of us plotted for California in August. Incidentally, California is at the top of my list. I am hoping it doesn't fall through. At the moment, our greatest worry is being without a vehicle. This puts a lot of pressure on certain passengers, however, I hope its just a good push in the right direction. After all, we're only encouraging s'mores on a beach with the occasional consumption of alcohol. Right, sounds awful. In all honesty, I cannot afford it but I am saving as much as I can. Although, this has been a bit difficult lately.

Flower shops are very slow in the summer after mother's day. Flower shops are very slow in the summer if there is a bad economy. Flower shops don't have a whole lot to offer in the summer, unless you like Crazy Daisies or you need an arrangement for a funeral. Right, in short, Jill is cutting hours for everyone to save money. Understandable. On the fourth of July, I received two calls. One, asking what Flowerama had in stock. What, do you think I sit behind their birdbaths and spy on their inventory? The second was an angry man asking why the hell he couldn't get a hold of someone at Veridian. Why are you calling a floral shop?! Dude. Unless you have a question about stargazer lilies, I'm not going to be much help. In short, I'm very limited on cash these days.

I was able to talk to Luke tonight! It was wonderful to hear from him, and to know that his job is treating him well. Menke and I hope to make it down to Council Bluffs sometime this summer as well, another addition to the list. At this rate, with my awesome income, I hope I can still manage. We are having a phone date/viewing of Percy Jackson and the Olympians soon. Its one of those films that I love, but most people probably don't. Sort of like Ella Enchanted. I can't really explain, so I shan't. Just deal.

Parting note, Today was Ringo's birthday!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY! All together now....!
