June Bugs

Sara gave me a pass for a free one-week trial at Lifestyle Fitness and yesterday I decided to try it out. This morning, I could barely lift my arms to wash my hair or reach the cereal. At least I know it had some effect...I went back this morning :)

This morning, Deb went to church with me. There's a couple from the church that had a baby awhile back and headed to India shortly after to be missionaries. We found out that their life savings was depleted yesterday when their bank card was stolen. There's a chance that they'll get the money back, but that's several thousand dollars that they don't have now. If you remember, say a prayer for them.

After church, I had lunch with Alex G. We went to Jimmy John's, then Manifest...a music/movie store where I realized just how many movies I haven't seen and just how slim my music selection is. We're talking about going to the Biltmore Estate in a couple weeks because he bought tickets for my graduation and we haven't been yet. I'll just have to remember to load up on allergy medicine beforehand...I've seen pictures of the massive gardens.

So a couple weeks ago, Pete came to visit before heading to Alaska for the summer. (I contemplated sneaking into his luggage, but I think his bag would've been over the weight limit). We got to double up with Sarah and Topher to go to the Olive Garden one night, and saw Prince Caspian the night it came out.

One of the nights, I made dinner while Pete made a Boston Cream Pie. I think I had the easier part. Then I scolded him for doing all the dishes. I felt like a guest in my own apartment.

Oh, and I have a new car stereo! (Again, thanks to one of the most thoughtful and giving people in the world). It sounds great. No more headphones while driving, which of course isn't exactly smart.

So now the most thoughtful person is helping his uncle build a house a few time zones away and I'm sweating out the end of spring in muggy Charlotte. Sara said no AC til June, but I couldn't sleep and had to turn it on yesterday. May 31, June 1...same thing.

Oh, and I went to a band concert Friday night. I wrote an article a few weeks ago for work about a high school band that's celebrating its 75th anniversary. It's the 3rd oldest band in the state and has some interesting background stories. Anyway, I told the band director I'd try to go, so I headed that way after work Friday. I'm really glad I did; it was something different.

Well I need to go to the grocery store before meeting up with Deb again.

Til next time, happy June!

Quote of the day: "If you want a rainbow, you gotta deal with the rain."

P.S. Are June bugs named after the month? And if so, why June? I'm partial to January myself ;)
