Here's Your Fife. It's a Recorder!!

Jesus Christ, 10 days goes by fast...Hello July.

1. There is nothing like the fudge crunchies in the middle of an ice cream cake. Just, nothing.

2. Ohio History is going well I suppose. I got a 81% on the first exam which is pretty much the best I've ever had on a history test ever. These exams are hell too. So specific and having nothing to do with the terms he told us to understand...Next exam is this friday and I'm really looking forward to getting it and my site visit paper on the Hickories overwith.

3. Speaking of the Hickories I went there for my first time on Saturday with Megan. The place is really cool but also super creepy. Old houses amaze yet freak me out at the same time. I'm still not sure why. There were a lot of cool things in there like one of the first telephones made in Elyria and this ancient vacuum cleaner that used manpower (picture bicycle pump), I doubt it was really effective. I learned the Lorain County Historical Society bought the house that was next to the church I used to go to in my childhood. It was the first house on Washington Avenue and they're hoping it will open this September as a museum. Since I know that house inside out, backwards and upside down I really cannot wait to see what it's like when they open it.

4. Leaving in 9 days, hallelujah. A getaway just sounds amazing but when doesn't it?

5. Saw the fireworks at the Elyria Country Club with Evan on Sunday. I can't believe this was our fourth time seeing them together there. I also can't believe it's been three years since Elyria had their city fireworks. I so miss those :/
We had a great time though. We had a cookout at Evan's beforehand while Michelle was on a date (they make a super cute couple, I really hope things work out for them). Had some corn on the cob (OMG YESSS), played some UnoSpin & MadLibs. "Does fear strike your pancreas when in the threat of having to buy tampons?"

5. Spent the 4th at my grandmas for a little family get together to plan the trip. My cousin is 7 now (holy shit it's been seven years!?!?) which means she likes to play tag a lot, thinks she's exempt from having to Draw 4 in Uno and likes to destroy things with freakishly long glo-sticks. We had a ton of yum food, played Uno, went on a walk, played lawn-darts (yeah...we get illegal), sparklers, firefly catching, firework watching, bunch-o-random. It was a good time :)

6. I work the next 6 out of nine days. Hopefully they'll go by quickly. Especially after the long weekend I'm not exactly jumping up and down to go back to work. We're going to be backed up because of the holiday weekend and our head page is on bereavement. Luckily Erica and I both work the same times today and tomorrow so as long as Erica isn't just sorting everything instead of putting it away we should be okay.

9 days til NY
20 days til Pittsburgh
