I can't believe it's already August. This year seems to be flying by, I sure hope it isn't racing to the end lol. School starts in 10 days. Job hunt in 30. Little man will likely start preschool around the beginning of the job hunt. Most of the summer has seem so laid back and slow paced but the past couple of weeks have just been a blur.

I got sunburned this week, which practically takes an active effort on my part if it's after May, so maybe it's just making me feel super tired. My friends parents have an in-ground pool and they live right down the road from me so we hang out there as much as possible. This week there was a hole in the liner so we were out there for an entire day scouring every inch of the pool, it was a hell of a work out really. It was also pretty fantastically fun. One of my favorite things in the entire world is being able to open my eyes underwater so getting to search all over a pool like that was like my 6 year old self's ideal day. AND little man got to swim with her kids and nephew all day and they have a great fenced in yard with a big fort/slide/swing thing and a covered porch, so we all got some fresh air and energy burned off. We actually went back all day the next day just to hang out again. It's nice to be with good friends and just enjoy life.

My brother and his girlfriend came and stayed their night on their way to MS. My brother bought an insurance company and is going to be able to move back where all our family, and his ex-wife and son, live. He's so excited for it and I'm really happy for him as well. It was so good to see them and I had a days notice so I busted ass and cleaned my house from floor to ceiling and cooked a huge delicious meal so today I've just been able to relax and enjoy my day with little man. It's been very nice. Oh and they showed up with 3 bottles of wine, so last night was pretty nice too lol. We just sat around eating BBQ, drinking wine, and watching the Olympics. I really miss my family, especially my brothers.

I have an open blog with my next part of the Nutangian challenge but I'm having a really hard time with it. I'm gonna do it though.

Oh, I also think I've decided what I'm going to try and pursue with school, dental hygienist.

Good luck with dental hygienist school.

Why that though?

I wish I could open my eyes in the water. I wear contacts... so I gotta wear goggles haha. I miss not being blind.

Good luck with school!

A fob means fresh off boat. Aka an immigrant that just came over to a new country and isn't "in-style" with the trends etc. ... haha it's a dumb slang.

Dental Hygienist... sounds terrifying. I wanted to be a surgeon or an OB/GYN, but then realized I was not into getting up close and person with people and their stinkiness. nope, no crazy ulcers for me.

Don't get me wrong, I love watching that sort of stuff, but I wouldn't want to deal with the attached people.

ANyway. Mitsuwa is a Japanese/Asian grocery store. They've got shops in NJ, CA, and Chicago. I think there's two in CA, but the one in NJ has the awesome food court. It's so awesome, I have to not eat for three days so I can eat everything and then not eat for another three days.

I miss living in a region where you can have outdoor pools. The Pacific Northwest has very few which is no fun. I used to live in Alabama and every apartment complex in sight had a pool you could access, I miss it.

I recently spent a day in the pool of a Marriott near where I live, but it seems my whole neighborhood knows about it. There wasn't a single hotel guest there, just locals, haha. You gotta take what you can get around here.
