We're so cool, it hurts.

I, too, am back. But with only one A.

So, I'm back from Lake Tahoe. Actually, I've been back for quite a few days now. I failed to post there, or immediately when I got back. But, don't worry, I'll make up for it. This post is going to be splendid. Or crap, it's really a toss up.

I cannot even remember what I posted about last time. Though I imagine it had something to do with the preschool, babysitting, movies and pie. Because really, that's all my life consists of these days.

Tahoe was a lot of fun. It's always so nice up there, the weather, the sites, the sounds, etc. I spent the majority of the time there at the beach. With a few hikes, bike rides, shopping excursions, and one white water rafting trip rounding out the rest of the time. Tahoe, while beautiful and fun, can also result in a lot of tension in the family. It's extremely hard to try to appease thirty or so people who have different plans and ideas for what to do. It's really a wonder no one tries to kill anyone. Despite all this fun, I made it back home, relatively unscathed. I say 'relatively' because on my way home from Tahoe, my front, driver-side tire decided it was time to blow out. A piece of it about a foot long is missing. Luckily, I was caravaning with my aunt, uncle, and cousins, so my uncle put my spare on. I did have to spend three hours the next day getting two new tires. Great fun.

Back at the preschool, I have decided that I am going to miss these kids. It's a great gig really, if you're at all like me and have my interests. Basically, I get paid good money to be silly and play around with a bunch of kids. Though I don't think that I could do preschool the rest of my life. Nor would I really want to do any specific grade the rest of my life. I plan on changing things up a bit year to year.

Anyhow, I have two weeks left of summer, to the day. I have mixed emotions about moving back. On the one hand, I'm ecstatic to see all my Fresno Friends again and to be out on my own. Plus, I do enjoy school and learning. But on the other hand, it means that I'll have to leave Hayward again. I won't have as much time to hang out with family and friends here. Plus, there is just something about being here that I like. On the whole, though, I am quite happy to be going back to Fresno. I officially move back August 19th [Just 2 days shy of David's 21st Birthday, mind you.] However, I will have to make a trip down there on the 12th in order to take the In-class Final that goes along with my "Completely" Online class. It was advertised as fully online, but now I'm making a three hour drive for a 1 hour test. Doesn't seem fair. I'm going to be making it into a mini road trip, with Gina joining me. It's my first ever road trip with just Gina and I, so I'm really excited about it [I'm already putting together a mp3 CD for the occasion.] Todd and David will be welcoming us into their respective homes and the boys and I will be showing Gina all that she's missing in Fresno. There's talk of going to "Our Taco Bell", the fifth floor of the Business building, and the porn store. I know, Gina, you can hardly wait. I myself am waiting on pins and needles. But, seriously, I am very excited about the mini road trip.

Tomorrow night, I'm having a little get together at my place. My parents are still in Tahoe with Ellie, so the house has been empty the whole week, save for myself. It'd be sad to have this empty house and not take advantage of it. I see this as my last-hurrah with all my Bay Area friends before we all head off to our repsective schools/lives.

Aside from all that nonsense, there hasn't been much going on in my life. Thing's have been great, albeit hectic. Hope everyone else is having a good time, too.
Love, KT
