All through the night
I'll be watching over you
All through the night
I'll be standing over you
And through the bad dreams
I'll be right there, baby

Holding your hand,
telling you everything's gonna be all right
And when you cry
I'll be right there
Telling you you were never anything less than beautiful
So don't you worry,
I'm your Angel standing by (angel standing by, jewel)

happy 4th of july to everyone!! i hope you enjoy your day off, stuff your bellies, and enjoy some spectacular fireworks!!

all right. i wanted to do a little day by day update of the lair, but it all went by in a flash and i have no idea what happened when. so here's a little synopsis of what i remember. :)

i pulled in the blue office and it was so great to see everyone!! it felt like i hadn't left at all!! oski's party was that night, and it must have been a really hot day because i was hot in my leotard as poison ivy!! (i still can't believe i wore that to a party) usually it's a cold weekend during third week. i had such a fun time meeting rookies at the party (who knew me from previous summers....eeeek!!) and people thinking my hair was really orange. i thought it was the most obvious wig!! obvi!! but yes...had a great time!!

for the rest of the week, i slept in every day for breakfast with the exception of one day. i did take my aunt beth to the serene bean and had the world's best white mocha. i read a ton and swam a bunch in the beginning of the week and did get up to therapy once with tons of staff, and sketchy ex. it was the first time for megan and erik, and i think they totally loved it. boohoo to the gypos who were screaming and singing during the sunset. efffff you!!

i did get to see the new superman movie with the new retail team on tuesday night. it was such a great movie, and i liked how i hadn't seen any previews for it so i had no expectations. there was a great story, superb cast and no cheesy parts. i liked it so much, i saw it again on saturday!!

this was definately the week of butterflies, too!! they were everywhere!! they were flying around no matter where you were. they had little purple ones down by the gold waaaay-outfield in that extended field. i was so inspired by them that i actually painted a tile with flutter-byes on it!! it didn't come out that great, but it was sort of the theme for the week.

thursday night is when most of the sketchy-ex showed up. it was so fun to see everyone again. i love sitting in the staff area drinking and catching up with old friends. friday was gary at the berry, and i swear that doesn't usually happen third week. who knows. thanks to gary, i had several adult beverages and then saw tons more ex-staffers. i don't remember talking to people for a long time, but i did see roomie and that totally made my night!!

i'm so happy i stayed saturday night because the blue directors party was tons of fun. i wasn't sure how it would be when i had my first shot of vodka and almost booted. it was a little too ghetto and pretty much tasted like hairspray. i am the queen of vodka, too!! i guess just not with the cheap shit. anyway, i drank and danced the night away and had a fantastic time looking at the stars on the way back. :)

sunday i got to sleep in (horray!!) and hang out again with retail...hopefully not bugging them too much. i want to help out as much as i can, and i hope i wasn't too much of a burden. i rode back with caitlin, and we had the best car ride on the way down. i love that we can talk about sketchy stuff and share lair memories and just giggle together. it sounds like she's gonna have the best summer!!

so yeah, that's my very condensed and not totally detail oriented update. just a few fun memories!! :)
