break it down.


"mow, mow, mow your lawn

'til you sweat and sweat.

mowily, mowily, mowily, mowily

it will really make you sweat."


-bill murray prior to leaving the couch to go mow the lawn


it is a beautiful day in saratoga this morning! the sun in shining! babar is on tv!

this past weekend, emily, sara, matt, kristine and harrison came up to visit me in saratoga. we got to go the beach in lake george! it was super nice. a seagull pooped on me. we played volleyball for hours. my neighbors were away, so we also got to swim in their pool! we ate a lot of food. sarah wolfsont came to visit! she lives in ballston spa. on sunday, we all went to kristine's brother mark's graduation party in west sand lake. there were lots of cookies. we got to go on a rope swing! the lake was so beautiful! harrison, matt and sara were the only ones to brave the makeshift rope, but it's safe to say, a good time was had by all!

taryn stopped by at the end of the party, and she, kristine, harrison, matt and i got to go see harry potter and the order of the phoenix! it was wonderful. when we all drove matt back to his farm in hudson, we were finally able to meet a certain someone we had been dying to see the entire weekend- bill the eight pound bunny! pictures were taken!

on monday, harrison, taryn and i went on a hike in thacher park. it was called the indian ladder trail. there was a cave! we came to saratoga to enjoy some much needed rest for a bit. we visited this great antique book store in saratoga and taryn acquired a cook book! later that day, harrison and taryn made some curry from the book- it was so delicious! on tuesday, harrison, taryn, me and two of harrison's buddies went to this cute little cafe in albany for breakfast. it was a nice end to our non-stop week o' fun!

it was so nice to see everyone! i only wish more people could have come out!

last night, my good friend katie and i spent about 3 hours at borders books eagerly (sleepily) awaiting the release of the seventh and final harry potter book! it was a lot of fun. my two little sisters were so cute. bridget was all dressed up! no one really went into hysterics, but as we all know, the end of harry potter is unlike anything else in so many people's lives, and i think that's pretty amazing. when i told bill murray that maeve cried last night, at first he chuckled, but then proceeded to say "ya know, the end of these books are probably making maeve feel like it's the end of her childhood. she's read all the books as a child, and now that they're finally done, she's probably feeling like she's no longer a kid."

it is sad to think that the books are over, but also still really nice that we were able to enjoy them in our lifetime. =) and there's still two more movies! yayyy!


emily's in ireland! sara's going to iowa! tim's canvassing for pro-choice new york! i'm not really working at all!

i hope everyone is doing really well. i miss you all.

all my love. <3
