I felt an update was needed....

but I don't know what to write :[ I've been working a lot. I deposited my first paycheck today, it was quite exciting :] I love my job! The only bad thing is I've had to scrub a toilet... twice. That definitely hasn't been the best experience of my life. I've also been cooking a lot! I made a cinnamon breakfast cake, brownies for my sister's birthday, and waffles! My mother told me I'm becoming very domesticated. Who knew?

John surprised me Monday. I was sad because I had to work last weekend and I'm leaving for Seattle Saturday, so I wasn't really sure when I'd get to see him again. He called me Monday morning and let's just say I'm not very alert in the mornings...

John: "Hey, I thought you said you were going to wash your car?"

Erica: "It's not that bad...... I will eventually.... *snore*"

John: "Well I'm looking at it right now and it looks pretty dirty to me."

Erica: "Uh huh.... *snore* whatever...."

John: ((starts talking to my dog)) "Hey Mister Weenie!"

Erica: "Ok, have fun at work, I'm going back to sleep.........."

2 minutes later I feel something in my ear. Since I am not a morning person to start with and that is a quite obnoxious way to be woken up I hit the hand that was poking me and rolled over and put my pillow over my head. When the poking persisted, I rolled over ready to punch my sister in the face, but it was John! I wasn't very cranky after that :] I'm so thankful he came down because it was my sister's birthday that day and she had a party... aka TORTURE. She only had 4 friends over, but they're all such petty, little girls. It makes me sad for her because they're the only other sophomores on the dance team with her next year, so she feels like she has to be friends with them so she won't be lonely. I know the feeling... I just hope she can find a NICE girl friend to hang out with. I'd like to find one of those myself.

I'd also like to get a PUPPY!!!!!! I have wanted a puppy forever. I have dogs at my house, but I just want one little cute puppy to be mine. My mom's always told me I could have one when I wasn't living at home, but now she's trying to tell me she meant when I'm out of college like really on my own. It's not fair :[ I just want one to keep me company next year since I'm going to be alone in my apartment. She keeps telling me that Tucker will be there for me to play with but... well it's Tucker. Love him, but I want a cute, little, fluffy, non-asthmatic puppy of my own.

Hm... I don't really know what else to write tonight. I think I might try to go to bed semi-early for once. So, I will leave yall with some lovely pictures that sum up my summer so far.

OK! Something is wrong with my google reader...cause it's not telling me that you've posted!!!! GRRR!

I haven't even read your posts yet...I'm gonna go read 'em and then make a real comment.

Okay, now for the real comment.

That was so sweet of John to surprise you! Y'all are the cutest! Speaking of John...where's that boy been? Why hasn't he been to CC? Tell him he's in trouble, but we forgive him because he mowed our grass. ;)

Those pictures are gorgeous! Every one!

And what breakfast cake did you make? I have a DELICIOUS recipe that I actually got from Noel Piper's book Treasuring God in our Traditions...amazing!...the book and the recipe!

Well, I miss you a ton! But I resent how you're rejecting my dog! Okay, no I don't. I would too.

Haha I swear I'm not rejecting your dog! I just want a FLUFFY little puppy that I could carry in my purse! (Not that I ever would... but it would have the potential.) Tucker just doesn't quite fit that criteria :/

And honestly I thought the cake I made wasn't too great... John pretty much ate the whole thing, but I think he was just trying to be nice. Feel free to send any recipes my way! :]
