Tres Friday

Man I’m getting bad at keeping up with this thing.

To keep you up to date with the last post, we went to the Cincotti show and completely loved it. Peter was fantastic live, we all had such a good time. He played a lot of stuff that he’s going to put on his next album and I simply cannot wait until it comes out. It wasn’t the kind of show that most “teenagers” go to, but we thought it was fabulous.

Speaking of shows, my friend Breahana got to go to Death Cab for Cutie, and Copeland shows this week. Grrrr, simply not fair.

I’ve been sick since Monday, and quite grumpy, but I’m getting slightly better. I actually took the antibiotics without complaining.

School is going good, I’m really getting into the grove of everything here. We’ve been studying avian influenza in microbes in light of everything happening in Asia and I’ve found myself being really interested in it. Diseases are fascinating things.

As far as business goes, I’m almost completely caught up with basic orders. I still need to get started on the wedding project, and get ready for the Oct.26th class though. I gave the Kirkwood samples to Lynn yesterday, hopefully the bookstore will be interested. Never a dull moment my friends.

I’ve been wearing lipstick, and I bought the most fabulous pair of frump girl boots. They’re not the poser kind of boots everyone is wearing, they have no heel (Nearly every shoe has a heel this season, and I’m the kind of girl that wants to be able to walk without feeling like she’s going to fall on her butt at any moment.), they’re brown suede, and barely go above my ankle. I love them. I can walk, they keep my feet warm, and are best friends with the ground. I don’t know how I feel about wearing lipstick though, it’s quite the scandal.

It’s just crazy how little down time there is. Insanity.

This town is driving all of us insane. Dad has been having staffing problems, AGAIN. He thought he’d hired a good employee, but she’s turned on him already. I don’t know what it is. He’s the best employer anyone could ask for… theses women are insane. I’ve been referring to our quaint little town as “The Hell Hole”. Mom wants out, we kids want out, and Dads just trying to decide what to do. We’re going crazy. I think it would be cheaper if we just lived in Cedar Rapids, we’re down there so often now.

Oh, and the Linn Mar (A preppy high school in Cedar Rapids)tennis coach (He's a pro at our club) told Laura that he was interested in her playing for the school’s tennis team, but when they asked about her joining they said that because we’re technically closer to Union’s team she’d have to play there. Guh! It’s only five miles closer to us but its in the other direction of Cedar Rapids!!! Good lord. Laura was so disappointed she nearly started crying. It’s very frustrating.

Life feels weird right now, and I don’t know if I like it or not. I’m not indifferent, just confused. Sometimes I really do, and sometimes it just feels so strange. I’m busy, doing good in school, working, enjoying a hobby, being more social then I want to be, etc, etc… so you would think I’d be elated, but, I’m not really. I guess if anything I feel bored at times. Meh, it passes. Life doesn’t always need to be analyzed.
