re:cap//heat

today was seriously unbearable. 115 DEGREES! are you kidding me? just going from the car to chipotle was scorching. you get heat coming from above and below off the concrete. bleh, makes me look forward to this upcoming fall weather, yipee! spent the day with the bro & sis hanging out for one of the last times before i head back to school. ate too much chipotle & finally saw captain america. super good movie! me likely some chris evans <3 ;)

not only was it heating up outside, but it was heating up in the kitchen this weekend. ;) me & sabrina got super bored and decided that we should put our skills to good use and make some delish peanut butter-chocolate chip cookies. so bomb. the first batches were successful, but then we got ahead of ourselves and tried to make a gigantic one...memo to self: don't bake cookies while watching the office -- you'll get mesmerized by michael scott's hilariousness and burn your cookies. HIGHLIGHT of the day: was definitely seeing dars' mama :) i've missed her soo.

you're in my dreams

had an awesome sabbath this weekend! went to re:live and church with friends...it was so refreshing to be back in "big church". it's been too long since i went there. then i jetted off to niko niko sushi to meet up with my dad who has been working overtime for way too long. i miss spending quality time with him, so i enjoyed lunch so much with him. you kinda get lost when you're living in a house with seven people + their friends and signif others. we demolished our sushi, obviously, in true yegge fashion. then i was off to my mom's house to see my baby cousins who are the most adorable things ever! last time i'm gonna see them before i leave for school in less then two weeks. they broke my heart when they had to leave cause they started crying saying, "we don't wanna leave! we wanna stay with heather!" i <3 those little munchkins. knocked out into a food coma for a couple hours and spent time with my mah and g-mah.

can i go back to june? this summer has been too good to me.

It's one of those moments...

where all i wanna do is sit down on my comfy couch or bed with a junk load of pillows and comforters and bundle all the way up to where you can only see my eyes. i'll sit down with a fully charged laptop glowing right at me with the world of Netflix open to me. I'll snag a scoop of my favorite ice cream and turn the lights off to create that perfect ambiance, and you'll be there waiting for me. but, that's not really the case tonight.

instead i'm by myself in my extremely over heated room, where it's impossible to even have a blanket on me at risk of catching heat exhaustion. there's no ice cream in the fridge, and it's not even worth going to the store to get if it's just me. my laptop won't even hold a charge

for 10 minutes at this point and has made watching movies a real difficulty.

it's August 17th, which means schools are starting to begin again, in turn meaning it's come to that time again where we all split up. one of my best friends, nikki, is leaving tomorrow and it's hitting me right now that i won't see her till xmas. ugh, this sucks. how did summer go by so fast? i can honestly say that this has been the best summer of my life so far. i love all the people in my life right now. i wish i could pack them all up with me.
