"Are you listening to this, you fat old Druid? Or are you just staring at my gorgeous face?

That's from J.D. Salinger's Franny and Zooey, I'm really getting into Salinger's works lately, I really like the way he writes his characters, they're so unique and you spend the book getting to know exactly what they are like, even though the entire book maybe spans the time of a few hours. Anyway, I'm back from the south and my trip back. Ah, Emergency exit row with your super extra legroom. It's like the poor man's version of first class. Anyway, I've decided that I am still a Denver girl all the way. My friends tried to convince me that humidity is better because it's like stepping outside into a nice warm damp blanket. I say Gross because perhaps that blanket is warm and damp because someone peed on it. huh? did you think about that? Probably not. My point is that no matter how much time I may spend down there, I will never ever ever appreciate, let alone get used to humidity. Thanks, but no thanks, I prefer my nice semi-arid climate where I get to work for my oxygen, Everyone knows that you have to work a little harder to get the nicest things.

The trip went great, I'm really glad I got to go back for the Missions service, it was fun seeing everyone again, and I'm really glad I got to stay with Bailey, I'm really thankful for her, she's starting to become a really good friend and encouragement to me. It was a nice trip.

I still haven't heard anything yet from the coffee shop, but I should hear by this weekend, keep praying for me, I really need a job! Oh, and I found out that I apparently am a good housesitter! They were happy with everything and they even asked me to housesit again 2 weekends in July, I think I just have a special connection with gay Jewish ladies. God does indeed give many gifts! =)

I also found out, that my family is apparently going to be hosting either 1 Spanish kid for 4 weeks, or 2 Spanish kids for 2 weeks in July. Why? No, I'm asking you. I think it sounds like alot of fun, I guess that whoever we get is here for Tennis or something crazy like that, I don't know how old they are or what gender or if they speak English or basically anything about our potential Hostees, but I hope that whoever it ends up being understands that not all Americans are like our family. Oy, Welcome to America, hope you like your crazy host family and brought your earplugs! What a trip this will be, all around. I'll update more on that later, I'm sure there will be plenty of stories....Oh, the possibilities.

Well, I think that's about it, my summer has been pretty stagnant so far, minus a few things, but I've enjoyed it. Plus I'm not ready for school yet so I'll hold on to whatever I can. Well that's it for tonight, folks! Hasta luego.
