Summer Adventures Pt.2

So it seems to me that I always end up blogging on Fridays the most. I'm not exactly sure why. But this particular Friday is different.... I'm eating Cheerios AND blogging. Yes, it is a lame attempt at multitasking.

Anyways....

To my fellow RAOL composers: I got a letter! It came in the mail earlier this week from my aunt in England after my cousin told her about the letter I'd sent. She decided to complete the letter giving triangle. It was unexpected which I guess is the whole point of the letter project. But I realized that these letters don't necessarily have to be about thanks. They can be a look into a person's life that you normally wouldn't have the chance to view. 

One thing I've been trying to learn how to use is Twitter. I understand it to a degree but other than that, no. If you want you can follow me (@owhitmyknee) and hopefully I will figure out what in the world I can tweet about. By the way, the reason I named my twitter the way I did was because every time I hit my knee I say "Ow" even if it doesn't hurt. Natural response.

On this rainy day I will leave you with one final question: Why does the ice cream truck go so darn fast?

Summer Adventures Pt.1

So I've learned a lot so far this summer.

Apparently I am 12 years old, I love to shop and I have BBM.

If you disagreed with all of the above then I send you an electronic high five!! But seriously, I confirmed one thing. I look like I'm drunk when I am riding a bike. No joke. My idea of going straight includes swerving a bit to the left before turning a bit to the right and so on. It's highly embarrassing. Not to mention my helmet (which I thoroughly encourage for anyone on a bike) which makes my hair stick out in funny directions. Thankfully, there weren't that many people I had to pass by. During the ride, I started thinking that if I sneezed I'd be in serious trouble. I mean come on, if I can't ride with my eyes open, how am I supposed to keep going for the 2 seconds they are closed????  It was actually cooler in the park than staying at home and melting in the heat. There was this weird fog that washed over you like a mist. It was spectacular! At one point it felt like you were on the moors in England!

A couple weeks ago I went to pick up 2 books waiting for me and another couple for my mom. I came out balancing 10 books underneath my chin. I got a few more than previously planned.

Books read this summer:
1) I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I`d Have to Kill You - Ally Carter
2) Playing Hurt - Holly Schindler
3) Skinnybones and the Wrinkle Queen - Glen Huser
4) Rhymes with Cupid - Anna Humphrey
5) Songs for a Teenage Nomad - Kim Culbertson

There are actually a few more but I don`t remember what they were. I guess that`s what happens when you bring so many home at one time.

I have to add that I thoroughly missed blogging! :)
