One of my favorite things about summer is being able to hang out with my dog all day. Just look at that face. Normally Penny is not the most photogenic of ladies, but I caught her at a good angle. One of these days I'll pull the cat in for a photoshoot. For now, I'm trying to figure out how I should go about turning him into an Internet sensation.
Summer so far has been a lot of lemonade and a lot of job searching. My wallet is grumbling in a "feed-me" sort of way. I'm pretty sure I just scored a freelance reporter gig at a local paper, and my mom is going to be paying me to clean out the basement and garage, but when it comes to making money, I'm afraid I'm becoming a bit addicted to it. I worked the Phonathon at my school this past spring, and getting that check in my mailbox made me feel so euphoric. I want to have that feeling all summer. I think it'll nicely complement the popsicles and books I'll also be savoring.
But I'm also getting in some adventures with other people. This weekend I was in New York City with two old friends from high school and we smoked hookah and ate Asian food and people watched until the wee hours of every morning until it was time to go. Other highlights included gawking at the packs of attractive Marines in town for Fleet Week, and spending an afternoon at The Museum of Sex. It's definitely worth a visit; there's a great exhibit up now about animal sex. Totally ideal for a third date.
So now I'm off to compose a cover letter. But all I really want to do is go on the swings outside and then dance to mashups in my room. Summer, I'm finding, does require some prioritizing.
Peace, Love, and Semicolons,
Lisa
your dog is really cute. nice sarcasm in the museum of sex paragraph. At lease I thought it was sarcasm. Or maybe you do think that the museum of sex is a perfect place for a third date. You have a cool and fresh writing style. keep it up!
