day off numero dos
Today I had the day off (as well as yesterday). I work so much it feels wrong. I mean it feels good, but it doesn't feel right. I think this is a problem. I feel so guilty. Between BPI and the church there's always something to be done. Not to mention wedding stuff. I hope with marriage comes some sort of balance. We're definitely going to need to reorder our lives. I have the tendency to be come a workaholic. I don't want that.
Today, nothing went as planned. It wasn't bad, in fact it was good, just not as planned.
Sister woke me up early to go to Starbucks, her treat! That was nice, we sat for a bit before she went to work. Then I ran two errands, I went to the ATM and had a horrible experience I won't relay. Let's just say that one man's impatient actions made me want to turn my back on the town I love and say I hate LA. I think God's just trying to teach me something about slowing down in life. I went to CVS and picked up the prescription that furthers my ascent into adulthood (I pondered whether the right wording would be "descent" or "ascent", and I chose the glass half full description).
Natasha and I spent a good part of the day together which was rad. She was my beach buddy that I desperately needed.
We lay out and listened to music for about an hour or so before we picked up lunch from TJs and went to Diana's work.
Diana did her make up for the play, she did an amazing job, but it's not hard to make Tash beautiful.
Then we rushed rushed home. So rushed home.
After that I almost forgot to pick up mom, but I did. Then I continued to rush to get to Kevin's graduation. I forgot that attending a graduation that you have not previously mapped out is a grand misadventure. I parked a huge distance away but arrived before he received his diploma and was able to scream along with the rest of the P -fam.
(Kevin's in there somewhere)
Then I came home for dinner with John and mom before he rushed off to worship practice.
The evening has been spent in a short nap, yoga with mom, and attempted cleaning/studying. It's interesting, I don't think it's coincidence that we've been talking about relationships at LIT. I think I want to continue it out even a few more weeks. I know that I've put it off because of insecurities in my own life, but now that we're engaged, I feel a tiny bit more confident. A tiny bit. I want the best for our students, love as God intended it. That's a lofty goal, but I'm praying.
Tomorrow I'm hoping I'll be able to get off work early by going in early so I can go to Tasha's play *crosses fingers*
Alright, that means I should sleep. 5:15 will be here too soon, 5:15?!?! what is the world coming to.
Sam's graduation:
Mr. Valedictorian is in there some where (I think behind the massive balloon pillar)
And a few photos from bowling last night:

Offically birthday.
When I woke up this morning the sun was shining so brightly on my bed. It's really summer. I love summer! So excited to go to the beach, and to have parties and to go camping and do all the things I love to do in summer.
I had to hurry to get to my doctor's
appt, since mom was in the shower before me. I got there quickly and only riding the elevator incorrectly once. I hopped in there, some poor man nearly severing his arm in attempting to hold it open for me. Thinking back on it, that man may have been a woman. In fact I think it was. I stood in front the directory on the second floor for a moment, pretending to gather my bearings, but really I was just waiting for the doors to close on the lady who stayed in the elevator so she wouldn't realize I needed to get back in and go back down to the first floor.
I'm
ok with my doctor, I didn't agree with her on a few things but all in all she seemed to know her stuff. Here's for stepping into adulthood. For once I was able to tell my doctor that I'm
excercising regularly, that's awesome! Thanks sister.
After all that I stopped by Victoria's secret for their annual (or is it semi annual) sale and treated myself to some "happy birthday" (new
chonies)
yay! Then I rushed home to go have lunch. We took grandma and grandpa out with us to
Todai's to celebrate the day of my birth. I wanted to go there because first of all, duh, it's amazing food! All you can eat Japanese, yes please! And secondly, when you go on your birthday you get a coupon for a free lunch. It was all that I was expecting. Love food.
I was debating rushing off to try and get some shoes at the
Westside Pavilion today and of course visiting my love behind the
BB counter, but I figured I'd be too rushed
with trying to get back in time for
sam's graduation. Walking beside my 80+ year old grandpa today reminded me that life is not to be rushed. John is always trying to slow me down, I have this hurry mentality within every fiber of my being. Some people were calmly waiting for us to pass, while others became so irritated. Why the hurry, I thought? I know too the well the being rushed, but I also understand the value of pause, especially through holding the hand of one of my grandparents.
Tonight is going to be awesome, hurrahing for Sam the
Valedictorian and bowling for 24.
Woot.
