I hope you guys had a great weekend! It was definitely a great one for me & I ended up getting a lot done. It was nice & relaxing, which is good because this weekend will be full of weeding, cleaning & mowing. I really don’t enjoy being outside too much.. guess I need to stock up on some SPF 100+ for the weekend. Haha :]

I talked with co-workers, drank coffee & took photos while waiting on the fire trucks to arrive. I love the old buildings on campus. They are so gorgeous & also a bit spooky since some aren’t really used/don’t have many people in them. This building in an old dorm.

Someone burned something cooking waaay up there. It happened on the floor with the open windows.

After work, I went with Greg to the bar in the Sunsphere. The bar was closing for good the next day so we wanted to go one more time. The view up there is so incredible and I will miss having drinks up there every now and then.

After that, we took a walk around the convention center trying to find the world’s largest rubik’s cube. It isn’t there anymore, but we did find this bear!

The walk to the parking garage was nice. It was beautiful out!

We then went to Taco Bell & tore up some crunchy tacos with beans instead of meat! So good. I love how they let you substitute like that & don’t look at you crazy. I went to Burger King once and ordered a veggie burger & the guy pretended to be puking for like two minutes straight. Total creep!

I then ended the weekend by purchasing the most amazing pint glass ever to add to Greg’s collection.

Dr. Dre – Nothin’ But A G Thang

I have to walk quite a bit from where I park to where I work. Lucky for me, it is beautiful!

My summer, havin’ a nice day, walking to work playlist:

Lil’ Troy – Wanna Be A Baller

The Virgins – Rich Girls

The Spinners – I’ll Be Around

Jackson 5 – I Want You Back

Bootsy Collins – I’d Rather Be With You

I think you can tell a lot about someone by the shoes they wear. That’s me & my sister and we couldn’t be more different, obviously. :]

We finally moved out of our crappy old apartment.

Pep was totally ready to get out of that shithole!

We borrowed my mom’s truck to move & found crushed packs of salem ultra lights, a piece of wood & a ski mask in the back.

My sister didn’t help because she just got her nails done.

Greg made sure his computers were nice & safe.

We moved to a house that had pretty flowers. I was worried that I wouldn’t know how to take care of them properly & they would die. Well, I didn’t have to worry about that because I cut them down with my first attempt at weedeating. Sorry pretty flowers!

We have no furniture, so we made a kitchen table out of a cork board and boxes.

Good times!

Yep, still alive. We wound up buying a house and I packed away my camera, charger & cord in the moving process and can’t seem to find it now. Smooth, huh? There are still tons of boxes left to unpack and every day I say I will get started on that, but instead I go sit out on the deck with Peppers, have a drink (Capri Sun or beer haha) & enjoy the weather. Much nicer, I think.

I will leave you with a few songs that have been getting me through some pretty hectic work days lately, which is anything upbeat to keep me movin’!

Latyrx – Lady Don’t Tek No

Lil’ Wayne feat. Jay-Z – Mr. Carter

Justice – D.A.N.C.E.

Mirah – The Garden

Janet Jackson – Black Cat

Oh, just reading a few chapters of Dog the Bounty Hunter’s new book, Where Mercy Is Shown, Mercy Is Given. I’m not sure if that title is better than his other book, You Can Run, But You Can’t Hide. Haha.

The Roots feat. Erykah Badu – You Got Me

On Saturday, Red Bull hosted a chariot race downtown. Everyone made their own chariots out of whatever they wanted. People had made everything from a modified shopping cart to a piece of plywood with kids roller skates on the bottom. haha. It was a lot of fun & I got some good photos.

A group project I created while in school won a 2010 Student Gold Addy! I am so stoked about this! I created the logo and collateral package for Upside & did the layout on the first spread of the brochure. All the winners were printed in today’s paper and I ran out and bought three because I was so excited. :]

Congratulations to everyone that won an award last night!

Thanks to Cordelia & Deigha for being awesome partners to work on this project with!
