I'm blogging twice in a week. A new record! Also known as, my days off from work bore me to tears and I'm driven to write after spending hours stalking the blogs of people I barely know, or who are in fact complete strangers.

Today has been glorious in that I slept in past nine (a new record!) and then woke up to my friend Amy texting to say that she needs to iron a shirt for her first day at work, and could she use mine, and she would be bringing coffee! Luckily she has her own keys to our apartment so I did not even have to peel myself out of the sheets (these fabulous sheets) and I was able to start the day with a latte without ever leaving bed. I don't think life gets much more spoiled than that, and that is why I firmly believe in a) working the PM shift, b) giving friends your keys, and c) owning things that other people need and are willing to bargain Starbucks for. I am hoping she never purchases her own iron.

Tonight is round two of Adult Jazz, which I am very excited about now that the cramping and pain from last week has just barely passed. We went running last night (TWO miles! If you had asked me six months ago if I could run two miles straight without begging for death, I would have laughed uproariously and then asked YOU to please bring me Starbucks in bed, that is more my style thankyouverymuch) and I think the run finally worked out my Hamstring Issue. I gave myself a Quad Issue yesterday running on concrete, so I am thrilled to see what new muscle spasms and injuries I can acquire this week. Joshua is working on a heel problem, which he likes to call a stress fracture. Our newfound athleticism is both wonderful and frightening apparently.

However, our healthy lifestyle is not getting out of hand. We are going camping next weekend in Wisconsin with our friends - not so much the commune with nature type of camping, but the float-down-a-river-on-a-tube-with-beer-in-both-hands-sort of camping . I'm pretty sure the only thing that those two types of camping share is the fact that you sleep in a tent. We were planning the grocery list at lunch today (eating Chinese takeout at the picnic table behind Joshua's office) and it involved copious amounts of condiments and processed meat and cheese and like I mentioned, beer. So chances are good that we will return from the (not so) wilds of Wisconsin unable to ever run again. Which will give me more time to spend reveling in the glory of my bamboo sheets!

I think to sum up, this is my last summer as a bona fide college student (part-time job? check. staying up late? check. wasting away again in margaritaville? check check.) It is fabulous and I love it but I'm trying to find that balance between enjoying it immensely and wishing it was over so that school could start again and I could just hurry up and GRADUATE already. I can't believe that July is here and will be gone before I know it in a whirlwind of camping, working, going to Cali for a wedding, hopefully having my brothers and Amanda visit, and then going home at some undetermined point to see my parents.

Well, when I just typed that all out, I can see that the summer is practically over now, and I just better enjoy the weather and the grilling and the gorgeousness while it lasts! And also the free time - I'm taking a nap to save up my energy for Adult Jazz!
