i bought a plant and i have some fresh cut irises sitting on my desk. i am so excited to be surrounded by so much life!

summer is coming to a close and i force myself to wear dresses or hold off on putting a sweater on at dusk. i revel in the long days and am doing the most to stay present and enjoy what i have left of summer. in the meantime, i frolic.

tender scrawls
on love

(1 January 2002)
I gave you my heart
And you took it.
If we shall part,
Please do not discard it.
Because even if we are not
Together
Because we did not last
Forever,
I would still give you my love.

a very busy july!

between our summer camp, eureka, and my two outreach sites, i hardly had time for much else! but the drama of 52 female students ages 11 - 15 could not deter me from continuing to enjoy my life!

highlights from july:
* my brother tan thien coming home to visit for 1.5 weeks, leaving on july 4th.
* incubus at the hollywood bowl on july 13!
* oc fair for eureka
* celebrating rafa's birthday!
* asking a guy to dance
* dancing ballet folklorico with my students!
* harry potter and the half-blood prince - 2 times!
* kelly clarkson at the pacific ampitheatre! right behind the pit!
* my brother bob coming home for 1.5 weeks, leaving on august 4th.
* giving my card to a guy i'm interested in
* a summer night on the backyard deck with a bottle of wine, apples, chips, good music, and good friends helping me with lesson plans!

happy august! i look forward to vacation and less drama!
