July 26th, 2009 Can we just be honest about something for a second here? Deep breath. Sometimes, I can be horribly, horribly jealous of friendships. Or if not jealous, maybe than just pessimistic about friendships. See, ever since I wrote about these little shenanigans, there have been some other developments, if you will. I sent a letter and got no response. I heard some updates through the grapevine, and Facebook stalking (no judgment!). July 25th, 2009 A page from Sylvia Plath’s copy of The Great Gatsby: My favorite poet writes in my favorite book. SWOON. July 25th, 2009 Thursday night, while Andrew was off playing a poker tournament, I was happily holed up in our hotel room. This is the third or fourth weekend-long tournament I’ve attended with Andrew. I’m used to being abandoned for hours at a time, for event after event. I usually go down for dinner breaks and to check in every once in awhile. But, for the most part, I spend time alone in July 24th, 2009 Andrew and I spent the first part of our day in Lake Tahoe yesterday. If you’ve never had the chance to go, Tahoe is gorgeous. Lovely. Just plain gorgeous. It’s easily one of my favorite places in the world—a gorgeous green-blue lake, lots of little mom and pop restaurants, big trees, and tons of little shops to piddle around. Andrew and I had never been here together, so it was July 24th, 2009 Yesterday, I decided against paying $13 for Internet in our hotel room & relyed on my trusty iPhone instead. Also, the hotels cable is severely lacking. No Bravo? Hello? Anyways, in my Internet and TV free five hours, I managed to: –type 10 weeks of lesson plans & make several power point presentations I need for teaching. –Plan 2+ weeks of meals –Sync my Google calendar & iPhone & write July 23rd, 2009 Aaaah, typewriters. I’m not sure where my love of typewriters began. Perhaps it was with my Papa Lou-Lou, my dad’s dad, who died last year. He used to type letters on his old, black typewriter and send them to us. I had never really seen or used one, growing up in the computer age, but had always been fascinated with them. My school holds a yearly rummage sale, and July 23rd, 2009 On Tuesday night, Andrew and I went to a tennis match to watch our local team, the Sacramento Capitals play. I’m not a huge tennis fan, but I got Andrew tickets for his birthday because he loves tennis. Despite it being 103 degrees, we trekked out to the courts. We were also total rule breakers and sneaked Subway sandwiches in—a major no-no, as they were totally checking bags. Good thing July 22nd, 2009 22/365 Originally uploaded by just_a_titch Andrew came to help me organize my classroom today. I definitely get a little stressed out with the start of school—thankfully, we got a lot done and I’m feeling a lot more ready to go. July 22nd, 2009 Before I start the post, I want to let you know that today is a special day! It’s 20-Something Bloggers Blog Swap Day—meaning that someone else will be writing today’s post, and today, my words can be found over at The Happy Cactus. So, go check me out there, and in the meantime, leave Ari some love over here! Also, if you’re in your 20′s, and you blog, why haven’t July 21st, 2009 I picked up this ring from the Vintage Typewriter booth at Renegade yesterday. Since I’m obsessed with all things writerly, and happen to own a super-cute vintage typewriter, I couldn’t help but pick this up. Plus, I love the “A”—it does double duty for me, thanks to it being the first letter of my name, and of Andrew’s. It’s adorable, if I do say so myself. Also, I submitted |
