Tomorrow is my sister's birthday, and then on Friday she and I are packing our luggage into her car and driving down to Columbia to meet our road trip companions, and then we will all arrive in St. Augustine, Florida not long after that. Needless to say (though I'll say it anyway) I am super excited about this trip!
One thing about it that will pose a challenge, though, is packing. It will be absolutely important to pack lightly due to the fact that we are cramming five women, plus all of their luggage, into a tiny Hundai. One thing that I am absolutely determined to pack and wear at some point on this trip is a gorgeous long turquoise vintage silk wrap skirt that I have been just dying to try out. I feel like Florida will be a perfect testing ground. Other than that, I haven't the slightest idea of what to bring, so a good chunk of my time tomorrow will be devoted to figuring that out. Aside from that, here is my to-do list for tomorrow:
1) Take math placement test (ew)
2) Get some ingredients for Kate's birthday cake plus buy the latest issue of Foam magazine.
3) Begin making cake!
4) Have burrito lunch with Dad and Kate
5) Surprise Birthday Outing for Kate!
6) Finish making cake
7) Pack!
8) Kate's birthday crab dinner
9) Cake and present presentation
10) Get some well-deserved zzz's
Looks like I'll be a busy girl tomorrow. Goodnight!

Missing NYC
I just got back from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Walking in the city, amid cracking and crumbling urban building, brick everywhere you look, and patches of lush flora, makes me miss New York. I want to go back for a week or so on my own time, with my own agenda.

More Wanted
A kimono jacket, like this one from Free People.
A pretty pleated skirt, like this one I saw on That's Chic.
Wanted:
Bell sleeved black lace seventies-esque mini dress
Long spacey dress
...And a good pair of jet black skinny jeans, like these at urban outfitters.
That's all for now.

New Obsession
Kate and I watched the first few episodes of season two of Buffy today (we went through season one last week) and in season two episode one there is this band, Cibo Matto, playing at the Bronze. Every time I watch that episode I'm thinking, "I love this band soo much!" So today I looked them up on itunes and got some of their songs. As you can tell by the title of this post, I'm definitely enjoying them. Click here to hear one of their songs. The 90's had the best music...
This will have to be a quickie!
I am soon to meet with an academic adviser to help me register for classes and schedule a math placement test. It's funny, I was told by the ladies at Admissions to get there right when the office opens, at 8:30, before all the other college kids wake up. I'm a lazy bum so getting up for this was no easy task, mind you, but I'm looking forward to classes so it will be worth it to have my schedule straight. Now, I must finish my coffee (I actually put cream and sweetener in it for once!) and get ready to go. Bye!

Sunday Morning
I adore Sunday mornings, even one as unideal as this has been. I overslept (usually someone in my family wakes me up, but today I was forgotten), had extreme contact issues, and was about to give up on my pursuit for a good outfit when I heard a damning noise downstairs: Buddy (aka the Beast) had gotten into the fridge after my sister and dad left because both of them have a horrible tendency to forget to lock it. I then rushed downstairs in my underwear to assess the damage and decided that since it was already 11, I had no hope of getting to church on time, or even within the realm of "fashionably late". Now I'm sitting in my sweats alone in my house sipping some coffee (black, of course) and blogging about my far too adventurous morning.
Thankfully, I won't get the chance to be a bum all day because I will soon have to pick my sister up from church and attend a birthday lunch at Jason's Deli. I had better start getting ready for said get-together, though, or else I'll be late for that too. Happy Sunday!

Oh blogging, how I've missed thee.
I have to admit that I really am looking forward to school starting up again, despite the fact that school will not actually take me away to a new place, something I have been looking forward to for a good five years now. Why am I so anticipating the beginning of classes? Because I miss being busy. Summer is grand, and I intend to enjoy the hell out of it in every way that I can, but I miss being scheduled and organized and working and thinking.
So, the question now is what shall I do for the remainder of the season, to which I gladly answer: Restart my blog! I can't promise to blog often at first; indeed I plan to ease myself back into it. But I will update this enough to keep track of the events of the remainder of my summer, such as my trip to St. Augustine.
Now, rather than end this post in the normal fashion, I'll end it with this:
Hello, again!
