Accomplishment

A lot of my summer is dedicated to not being bored. This isn't to say there isn't a ton of things to do around here (there are), but more that I'm realizing now that I have a month left in California and want to make the most of it. (Actually, there's less than a month now, but I'm refusing to acknowledge that. Yes, this is how excited I am to go back to school.)

Now that the goats are out of State Fair things have calmed down a bit, so I can start sorting out pictures, cleaning my room, and focus on not getting sunburnt. It's quite hot outside. It doesn't bother me, which is probably why I never remember to put on sunscreen.

But yesterday I went and helped my mom label many, many jars of honey. I've been breaking things left and right lately, so no broken jars and a stack of labeled boxes makes me feel very accomplished. :)

Number 50

According to Blogger, this is my 50th blog post. I'm sure there would be more if I actually updated this more than once a month, but I am lazy, busy, and forgetful, and that doesn't really bode well for blogging. It seems better to blog about a single thing than an update on everything that's happened that I forgot to write about... which is what I'm doing now.

My lazy summer is not so lazy after all, and it seems like I haven't been home for a single Saturday in two months. Last week Mom and I went down to San Diego for a week or so to help a friend move out, which was exciting since I had been wanting to visit there. It was nicer than I expected for a Southern California city! The ocean was really close, the air wasn't bad, and we didn't spend too much time in traffic (except driving home), so it was nice.
I still don't know why anyone would want to be in LA, but that's a different story.

We did go to Sea World while we were there! It was fun seeing all the animals, but the shows were a bit lacking at times. I think the seals and sea lions stole the show, really.

Me, me! Pick me!
Tomorrow will start the Travel Guide program for the Japan exchange in 4-H - I get to orientate a bunch of Japanese kids before sending them out to their host families. This is my second time, and it should be really fun! I just have to finish the last-minute presentations I was surprised with.

Next week is State Fair, too! That's even more exciting!
