because its always good to examine one's life...

i figure with someone who has professed a love of blogging, i better pick up the pace. Two blogs in 2 weeks? COME ON! (picture Gob Bluth yelling here.) Here are my top ten summer moments, thus far.

1. Mel's birthday party at Logan's: sitting outside on the patio, myself and some friends were having fun laughing at me acting like a cat who'd just gotten declawed (picture those high quality cloth napkins that Logan's has, wrapped around my fists and my white nubs "walking" across the table to the delight of onlookers.
   


2. First round of packing the Fleck's picture frames. I suck at packing. Enough said.
   


3. Art Hop! Words cannot express how alive it made my heart feel to walk around downtown with art happening all around me. Not to mention the beautiful boutiques with the amazing merch that i will be able to purchase if and when I become either a) a trophy wife or b) an independently wealthy career woman.
   


4. New cell phone! Thanks Verizon for the hook up. I love the Voyager! (not Star Trek Voyager, which actually, I did used to like, but the LG Voyager). Touch screen, mobile tv...so many more accoutrements than I'm used to my own puppy-gnawed motorola Q. In fact, i was so jubilant that i threw away my old phone in the trash!
   


5. Growing out my toes for manicure purposes! I know this sounds gross, but one of my favorite parts of summer is having cute colors on my toes. Although, those who know me best know that I fail to have color on my toes all the time, but when i do, its a great joy to look down and see cute little nails. So...long story short, please don't think that i am unhygenic.
   


6. Jake's bbq: i like it when old friends come back and give us a very good reason to throw a rip-roaring party, complete with much too much laughing and all those big balls on Wipeout. Its always good to let the hair down a little to celebrate people's presence in our lives.
   


7. Small group: ladies, ladies, ladies: fun times! If only Big Brother, Wipeout, Survivor, ANTM, Top Chef, the Office, 30 Rock and all those other shows were on each week. Oh wait, they are. Thus, never a reason to stop meeting, eating popcorn and raisenettes, guzzling diet soda, and taking breaks to discuss how we are doing, and what we are stuggling with. If only I can win the BB pot! COME ON DAN!!!
   


8. NEW ROOMMATE! Welcome Rebekah Grace David! Anyone need a hairstylist? Call my roommate, she's the bomb!
   


9. Charter... and the reason why I can blog in the first place. The guy who installed it was so nice, although when my MOXI box (Tivo's ugly step-child) started foaming a pancake-like substance out of the bottom of mybox, that was a little disconcerting. Ah well, we are trying again and will get it right!
   


10. The day the fires began. Oddly enough, I know this may sound really insensitive, and believe me when i say that I am not thankful for the fires. But the weather that day...AMAZING. I am a bona fide fan of lightning...just not when it strikes forests and burns down California. Boo on that.
    

And, due to my Gob reference, I am in the process of writing top 10 Arrested Development phrases that must make it into my Fall, 2008 phraseology. Nothing can be better than adopting some of the best dialogue ever written.
