Every Sunday a group of Baha’is gather on a Chicago beach to play volleyball and enjoy each other’s company. I’ve not been able to go because of work and family commitments, but yesterday, I did.

I’m going again next weekend. Yeah. It was that much fun, with some of the coolest people you’ll ever meet and very tasty watermelon.

Go here to see pictures, taken by Lacey. The fifth picture down is me buried in the sand.

STRESS IS OOZING OUT OF MY EARS.

Sometimes I have too much time to think at work.

Especially when resetting the men’s jeans wall, which is mind-numbingly boring and 24 feet long.

The first flower is the Baha plant I put in the back yard years ago. I planted it, and it has survived Chicago winters, summers, too much & too little watering. And I don’t have to do a thing.

Just because every girl needs to treat herself after a long day at work.

Ingredients:
1 banana
3 strawberries
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
1 cup milk
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup

BLEND.

Working in Logistics, I have discovered that I am not cut out for a 3 am job. That is all. I work with Security this week. Woot. It is a lot cooler than it sounds…I hope.

Book update:
I finished the two fantasy books I had talked about and read two more (total 4). I am still working on Anna Karenina, got bored with it for a while there. I returned The Rise of the Creative Class to the library. I just couldn’t get into it!

Recent movies (in no order):
Spiderman 2
Mean Girls
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
A Life Less Ordinary
Two Week’s Notice
Much Ado About Nothing
The 13th Warrior
Ella Enchanted
Dodgeball
Shrek 2
The Chronicles of Riddick
and a couple more I don’t remember.

The picnic that I go to every year, my favorite event of the entire summer…was canceled because of rain. It poured here all day.

*sigh*

So we made the best of it and got food at Maggiano’s and then went to a friend’s apartment and danced the night away. I love my friends.

I’m very tired. Goodnight.

Thank God for a 3 day weekend. Apartment hunting, hanging out with friends, picnic, seeing my sister. So much to do!

I was on a 3 am-11:30 am shift this week at work. I rotate to the different parts of the store each week.

I will have pictures after this weekend, so be patient, y’all!

Going downtown today!
