lots has happened to turn my summer around for the better.
there's been parties, friends, boys, beach trips, work, intervention, beautiful conversations, drunken conversations, adventures, sappy movies, thought-provoking movies, barbecues, roommates' boyfriends, amazing food, bike rides, books (this department's been somewhat lacking), amazing scenery from the deck, neighbors, and a wonderful, cozy full-size bed with purple sheets.
up next: two weeks in socal. tuesday through saturday in newport with my favorite not-related-to-me family, the henningers, and then saturday-thursday with my favorite related-to-me family doing absolutely nothing besides tanning (hello, skin cancer) and reading (who is mark twain by mark twain).
life really can't get much better.
