I have two weeks of school left and it’s too hot to sleep with more than a sheet.
I’m looking forward to this summer in a way I haven’t in years. I’m ready to work a lot this summer to save money and try to have a lot of summer fun on the cheap. I’m looking forward to picnics, fireworks, shooting with film, reading, eating the strawberries that are growing in the backyard, and best of all… getting to know my new nephew. He should be here any day now! My sister’s due date was this past Friday. We’re all starting to get antsy.
As a graduation present to myself, I want to get a new tattoo. I think it’d be worth the trip to get a piece done by Amanda Wachob, painter-turned-tattoo-artist whose work ranges from abstract to modern/representational to conceptual. Come summer, I plan to paint my toes a lot more since they’ll be visible and not under stockings, maybe lapis of luxury. I think it’d look cute with round Cheap Monday sunglasses and a floppy straw hat. Alas, I do need to save quite a bit of money this summer so maybe I’ll be painting this summer girl instead of wearing it.
