and if I can't support it, then I guess I'm gonna sell it.

I got some really really really ridiculously exciting news today but I'm not allowed to talk about it for a while. It is so awesome and I can't wait to tell everyone. 

In other news, today I worked for only 2 hours. There was a field trip and like 1 million teachers, so I wasn't needed. I came home and rested to be honest. I've been fighting a cold for a while, which thankfully never became mono (knocks on wood)! I was determined once Chris got mono it was my fate, but apparently it didn't happen. 

This weekend is once again filled with parties and fun. I have my cousin's engagement party, and also my grandmother's 90th birthday party. It is a surprise party, but my grandmother doesn't like parties. She doesn't like big deals or us to spend much money, so it should be interesting when she comes to the party.

Tonight I baked Indoor S'mores. They are super good. Tomorrow I am making Millionaire Shortbread Bars. Shall be amazing. I love baking but I HATE cleaning after, my mom thinks this is hilarious...or well...not not really.

I'm obsessed with this show Degrassi. I don't know why. Its pathetic...

I find this video utterly hilarious. Such a joke...

Where's the chapstick?

I have found myself constantly muttering 'so is life' as I go through my daily routine. 
"It's been raining for 10 days straight" my response - 'So is life'
"I'm tired" my response - 'So is life'

I guess if you think about it that way, lifes trials don't seem as bad. So next time you find yourself in a situation, for example "My car won't start!" just think...'So is life' It happens. Life happens. Stuff happens and eventually you get over it. I promise you this blog will be more about my interesting life and less about these gems of wisdom, but this is a lesson I have been learning lately, to take the good with the bad, to realize that life isn't always going to go your way, so you need to deal and move on. It's a typical approach, but one most of us forget.

This week the summer camp began. For those who do not know, when I was about 12 I started volunteering at a summer camp. My mom worked days and needed me to go somewhere, but I was too young to have a job. I would go to the camp and take the kids to the bathroom, or get them snacks. This camp also doubles as a school during the year, so beginning when I was 14 and legal to work I started doing aftercare. I worked afternoons watching kids, playing with them and occasionally helping with some homework. I have gone back there on and off since I left for college. I remember my last day at summer camp before I moved to school, I was pretty certain I wasn't going to make it, but I did. 
I started my summer working in Boston in an office which was great fun, but the commute was so expensive and took me almost 2 hours! The camp is very close to my house, and gives me the opportunity to work with kids and go on some awesome field trips. For now, I am just helping anywhere, but next week I head into kindergarten as a teacher!

As for my social life, I have had family parties every weekend this summer. Seriously, Chris (my boyfriend - will probably refer to him often so put that to memory) can't believe that I have so many parties. This summer alone my cousin Amy had a college grad party, cousin Michael had a law school grad party, my nana turns 90, cousin Freddy turned 21, cousin Freddy has an engagement party, friend Mike has a wedding shower and I have my own graduation party. This doesn't count my friends' parties either! Its intense! Oh and Father's day is thrown in there, then my dad's birthday, Rich's birthday, then my birthday! SO insane! Summer is crazy.

I am tired and need some serious bed! 

As I was writing this blog entry, my friend Jessharris sent me this video and now I shall share it with all of you! It's typically hilarious...
