that's what you get for waking up in VEGAS!

Thank goodness for my car, my cousin, and my christmas present (road trip courtesy of my parents).  Because of them I got to take a few days (aka Thursday-Sunday) and spend them in Las Vegas!  It was a much needed vacation, and I wish I was still there, I do not want to be home.  Take me back!!!!!!

We spent an hour and a half watching the Bellagio fountains.

Amazing!

Best faces ever! (in between fountain shows at the Bellagio)

I WANT TO GO BACK!!!!!!!

favorite commercial

this is my new favorite commercial.  Not promoting AT&T since they aren't my service provider, but I just think the commercial is so darn cute!

my summer went from this

so fast.

"Getting your heart broken is definitely one of the very very worst moments.

The feeling of losing someone you've spent every day with for the past months is so hard.

You feel like a part of you is gone.

like a part of you died.

It's too hard to see them move on, yet you only want them to be happy.

Everything is different.

You wake up feeling empty, you cry in the middle of an intersection.

food tastes different, music just makes you sad.

Friends treat you like a little kid who just found out the truth about santa.

It hurts to lose someone. That is genuine pain."
-as quoted from Amy, to whose blog I am a frequent visitor

I want to....

....see a blue whale before I die. Cause they are ginormous and I want to see something that's alive that is that big in real life.  How cool would that be?

.....remembering a walk in the snowy night.

drafts

to post or not to post?

not.

I can't post this draft.

too private.

too personal.

so I keep it.  To look at and read.

"edit posts"

Wish I was brave enough to post it.

adventures

I know what you're thinking.  And the answer is no.  I am not going on any amazing adventures this summer.  Everyone I know is, but I'm certainly not.
Friends are going -

And I will be doing this -

okay, so I do get to go to Boston for a week.  But, that's all.  I'm not jetting off anywhere cool.  Just working my butt off. Sigh.

Today I decided to start compiling a summer reading list.

I spent an hour in The King's English

(my mother's favorite bookstore)

getting suggestions of good reads from the ladies who work there.

I'm going to be spending all my spare cash on books this summer.

I love them.

So here's my list (in no special order):

Eternal on the Water-Joseph Monninger

Special Topics in Calamity Physics-Marisha Pessl

Little Bee-Chris Cleave

Cutting For Stone-Abraham Verghese

Sarah's Key-Tatiana de Rosnay

The Many Lives and Secret Sorrows of Josephine B-Sandra Gulland

Love Walked In-Marisa De Los Santos

If you have any suggestions of books to add to my list, please let me know.

I want to read lots this summer.

So give me your suggestions.
