Considering that on a normal Friday night I would probably be out spending a bunch of money with my friends but that on this particular Friday night, I am sitting all alone by my computer (nerd alert!), I have decided to spend some money on clothing and shoes. I had to convert my shoe size so I used an online ruler to determine the inches. I didn’t end up buying the shoes because I didn’t measure correctly. Bummer.

7/14: ate light hot dogs July 14, 2009
It seems like this would be an oxymoron, but it is not. I got the ones made of turkey and low fat beef. They were surprisingly delicious (as most hotdogs are known to be.)

*Happy birthday, Bridget!*
7/12: went bike riding July 13, 2009
Yes, I have ridden a bike before, but it has been years. My dad and I cruised through the south shore today. My legs are killing me, but I had forgotten how much I enjoy riding a bike. And I didn’t even skin my knees!
7/9: thought my computer might be haunted July 9, 2009
Seriously. It is playing random music (Kanye, Ryan Montbleau) when I don’t have Brian’s ITunes up or any websites open. I cannot figure it out. hahaha OMG- what if it is Michael Jackson???

If you are lucky enough to find someone you love and who loves you back then you are very lucky indeed.
Ridiculous and completely unrelated joke stolen from Bridget (see In The Pines in my blogroll):
Why is next year afraid of this month? Because 07-08-09!!!!
hahahahaha
7/7: did not watch the Michael Jackson hoopla July 8, 2009
I understand that a person has died and recognize that it is sad. I even feel sad for his family and especially his children. But the people on ireport who were crying their brains out just weird me out. I don’t understand how someone whom you do not personally know and has been (albeit acquitted) of questionable intents of the worst possible kind could cause such a ridiculous response in people. Yes, it is sad when people die, BUT you probably didn’t know him.
In much more important news, may these soldiers rest in peace:

7/6: started summer school July 7, 2009
So far, so good! I am looking forward to the rest of the summer. I have a really nice group of kids.
7/4: happy fourth of July July 4, 2009
Today is my favorite holiday. I love America and am pleased to celebrate with fireworks and a cookout. We are so blessed to live in this country. Many thanks to all who have served/are serving in the military.
