I’m addicted to “Mood Menders” (which is the name my local coffee shop coins it.) Steamed Soy with tea! Yum. I have gotten everyone else addicted to it too! It’s quite funny.
So in preparation for moving in August I thought I would start going through some stuff now so when the time comes to packing, HOPEFULLY it will be a little easier. On my purging spree I have found so many things that I forgot I had or didn’t even know I kept. They just keep getting shuffled about from move to move. I found this postcard

that Harper sent me back in ’99 I think. This bronze jiggy jiggy statue from Ghana. A stack of water bags also from Ghana, my old journal from High school. Man is that funny. I would post some entries but I’m kind of embarrassed.

This weekend was fun. Friday I spent the day sewing a top and a ring bearer pillow for a friends wedding. That night I went out to the Rio and had a few margaritas and saw my friend Meghan that I went to Pre-school with. So crazy, Both red heads, Both named Meg(h)an. I then went to a rehearsal dinner/party and decided to leave when I came to realize I was the youngest one there. None of my other friends showed up! It normally doesn’t bother me but I wasn’t feeling it. So I went back down to Pearl to hang with my friends and had a good time.

The next morning I was procrastinating as always, but at least I wasn’t the only one. Mary was in the same boat I was. It’s the day of our friend Adjei, and Kari’s wedding and neither of us had bought a present yet. So we dash off to the store to buy something, but of course everything on their registry is already taken care of. NOTHING! So we were left to our imagination to figure something out to get them. We made them a gift basket. Kinda cheesy I know but we were in a bind.

I went home, took a nap and got ready to go. The wedding was so much fun. A little bit of African mixed with a traditional wedding ceremony. Lots of drumming, dancing, tasty food, music, and all around good fun. Except for those pesky mosquitoes! I’m itching all over. It took place at this beautiful farm by Lyons. SO SO beautiful! and I got asked out by the photographer. he seems nice

Today the fam came down for fathers day. We BAR –B- QED. Tasty. Then I went to an African dance class with Mary. It was so much fun. I miss it. Dancing that is. I love how it’s all about the booty, makes me feel better about mine. It felt good to get back into it. After class, Mary and I went to Mahway’s(sp?) to cook some Ghanaian grub. SO GOOD!!! I think I ate too much. Actually I know I ate too much. Now it’s hot and I have to go to bed. I HATE sleeping when I’m hot. It’s so uncomfortable.
