Summer Luv'n

So, I was trying to think of a summery title for this post and that song popped in my head...now it is stuck there.
Gotta love those Sandy and Danny duets.
Most people prefer that I not sing this out loud...but I prefer that I do...very loudly.
Do you all just love lightning bugs(unless they land on you, I hate that)?
I have to drive by all kinds of fields when I drive home from my parents(there's more that corn in Idiana, there are soybeans, too.)
All the lightning bugs just make everything so sparkly and pretty.
Then I remember being little and being so excited about catching them, but then always feeling bad that I put them in a jar so letting them go right away.
Love summer...
lightning bugs...
warm nights...
sunsets...
days at the beach...
bbq's...
eating outside at restaurants...
driving with the windows down...
suntans...
long sunny days...
summer storms...
the fair...
4th of July...
seeing family...
not working...
flipflops...
very little makeup and messy ponytails...
baseball games...
late night icecream runs...
slow walks...

a little help

So, I my friend emailed me some pictures of the album I made for her daughter. Is there anyway that I can post those pictures from my email here on my blog? I've tried, but I really have no idea what I'm doing.
Any suggestions?
Also once I scan pages how do I post them? I know I have to save the picture to jpg, right? If anyone can tell me how to do this I will be your bff forever.

been so long

So, I got out of school a week and a half ago and haven't really touched a computer since. It's been nice, but now I fell kinda out of it. I really will have to buy a computer this summer. I hate spending money. Hate it. Unless it is on scrapping stuff or cute clothes. More scrappin' stuff lately, though.
It is finally nice enough to lay out and now I'm working again. Well kinda working. My family owns a building supplies (siding, windows, doors...) and my aunt is on vacation so I'm helping out.
Helping is a relative term here.
I don't know where anything in the store is or how to order sofit and j-channel (I do know what those are though) so all I can do is chat the customers up until my cousins husband can come and really help. I can go get lunch though and make deliveries.
Very good at that.
Lunch may screw up the diet plan that I've got going on.
THis is the new plan: Mini-marathon in Bloomington in September.
Reasons this rocks:
Get to do something with college friends.
Get to go to Bloomington which I love love love.
Kinda have to get in shape no time for slacking.
Reasons this doesn't rock:
I don't like running.
My friend Katie said we could walk it, but #1 walking 13 miles would take forever and #2 I know I could walk it so I want to challenge myself.
Did I say I don't really like running?
Bloomington is not exactly flat.
There are hills many hills to make the running harder.
I just read Darcy's blog and saw that her husband is running like a 5 minute mile. I was pleased with my 12 minutes.
So, I've been going to the Y every day. I did have to take break from the running b/c I seem to run funny on my left foot and I think I may have really hurt it. So, I 'm taking a week off the running and biking and doing the eliptical and strength.
While my equally wimpy friend Melissa and I were doing a little strength training yesterday at the Y this huge (major muscle man;like he wears a weight belt when he works out)black guy challenges us to do some pull-ups. My upper body strength is pretty non-existent so this is next to impossible. Since we couldn't do that he made us do some other arm excercises. The next this I knew he had us in this little mini training and is asking what time we come every day. He says he'll have us in shape in not time. The whole time I'm just cracking up. This guy must feel so bad for us. He is funny though, I think he may be from south-Africa so he doesn't speak english all that well. We'll see how this turns out.
Just from yesterday's workout my arms hurt when I type!!!

I can't deal

Only 2 more days of school.
I wait and wait, and now when there are only 2 days left I feel like I'm going to have an anxiety attack.
I get so nervous that I won't get something done or will forget about something.
My supervisor did say I most likely will be coming back to the same schools.
That is the first time she has told me that.
Exciting.
Working in the same building, with the same people, and with the SAME KIDS and SAME IEP'S!!!
Very exciting.
Saturday I locked myself out of my apartment.
I do this quite often.
When I called my dad to see if he or my mom could come pick me up he said not to worry b/c my landlord should be by soon to make his scheduled 'has Wendy locked herself out again' check.
Funny.
So, I called the landlord people.
They weren't home.
I sat outside my apartment forever ignoring the leering scary men as they drove by.
Finally, my mom came.
My landlord finally called.
They said come get the key.
They called back and said wait an hour.
Okay, I have nothing else to do.
I couldn't spend money b/c my debit card wasn't working and I had no cash.
I called the bank and the lady gave me some code to use in the ATM.
That didn't work.
I called the bank again and they closed b/c it was after 5 eastern time.
Stupid eastern time.
So, back to the ol' landlords.
I asked if I could get an extra key b/c I'm someone who will continue to lock herself out.
They said that the key couldn't be copied and they didn't want to give me the extra 'cause what if I locked both of them in the apartment?
Ummm...okay.
What if I lock myself out and they are on VACATION?
I just sit around waiting for them to get back?
Why can't they just change the lock?
Why can't I just remember to grab my keys before I go out?
I just start thinking of something else and shut the door.
Then I stand there looking at the door thinking 'oh,sh*t, my key's are in there.
