Today was a really good day. I learned how my grandma and grandpa met each other, and some of the story from there- something I'd never heard before, and I don't know if my mom even is able to elaborate on. I spent the last hours of daylight on a blanket in the middle of my favorite place on earth with excellent company and complementary music. I came relatively close to crossing off the forgotten 'eat on a rooftop' from my Summer Bucket List from 2008, until we were told that the rooftop was only for appetizers. It's funny that no matter however many circumstances, experiences, and memories later, I will always love going downtown with no predetermined destination. I feel like you get to know someone so much better when they are slightly out of their element.
All of a sudden, all of this seems to be coming out of nowhere. All of a sudden, there are so many things that still need to be said and done and it seems like there's time running out. I need to read at least five more books this summer before school starts back up and I can only stand required reading. I need to start saving the $60 a week I need in order to afford Europe next summer. I needed to start doing that like, five weeks ago in order to fit the budget. Too bad a Free People dress seemed more appealing at the time. Too bad I throw my paychecks into my gas tank and down my throat before they ever make it into my bank account. There are so many bike rides and runs that need to be gone on, but it seems like all of my idle time lately has vanished and in their place, exciting plans and long drives have come. I am not complaining about this. I will probably be complaining as soon as I finish my triathlon in August and wish I'd trained a little harder, but I am not complaining. I sound like a crack addict or like some kind of tweaker when I reread this, because there is a month left of summer, not two hours, three days or even a week.
I wish I could stay on one subject when I write.
