A Broken Promise

        Ok, ok. I did what I said I wasn't going to do. I fell back into my habit of neglecting my blog. I guess I didn't think I had anything to say. Well I still don't... but what ever. If you get bored, you can stop reading. So this is the first summer I did not leave home. The first summer since I was eight that I am home for more then a couple weeks. I thought I would be tear-my-hair-out-bored and go crazy, but the few things I have been doing have kept me busy. I have a job. I am a cashier at a Hardware store. I don't know anything about what the store sells, and can't answer any questions the customers have, but its entertaining. People can be so interesting. I enjoy talking to different people and seeing who comes in for what. I have a pretty analytical brain, meaning I like to analyze things, so people watching is fun. I work two or three days a week, and when I work 9-5, I come home feeling like my legs are going to fall off. I have legs issues. Its a known fact, so standing at a counter for eight hours probably is not the best for me... I think it may be aggravating my knee problems. I'll see what the doctor says next week. Besides standing and people watching, I have been babysitting. I love the two families I am working for right now. Both have the most adorable kids. One family has boy-girl twins, which in its self is a lot of fun, but I have a twin brother, so it is special for me. I also have been going to the pool/beach a fair amount. Even thought my aunts beach house is only an hour away, a day there feels like a week away. Also my family is crazy, so it is always fun going and spending the day with them.
        I got my license. The first time I drove was to my friends house, and the whole five minute trip there, I felt like I was breaking the law, and that I wasn't supposed to be driving. Before my driving test, I kept having this dream where I was in the passenger seat, and the car was going, but no one was in the drivers seat, so I had to control the car from my seat. It was scary, and I think it meant I was nervous I didn't have control over the car, but I'm a good driver, I passed the test, and now I have freedom.
        I have also been watching Grey's Anatomy from season one. When the show started I was only about nine, so I couldn't watch, but since I have been watching, so I decided to watch seasons one through eight... My dad thinks I'm crazy.
        This summer has also been a summer of cleaning. My mom and I decided to clean out the entire house by September. So far the basement is almost done, the office is looking ten times better, and the bedrooms are neat and organized (at least mine is). The stuff a family can accumulate in 13 years in a house is crazy! We have so much stuff that we don't use or don't need. Someone could go shopping in our attic and think they were at Target or something.
        I think this post is dragging on.... so I am going to end it... Hope everyone is having a good summer!

       P.S. I have a new obsession with yellow nail polish... :)
