you know it's summer when you see people driving around with their left foot sticking out the window. i don't want to see your dirty, hairy feet, people! is this only a wisconsin thing? and how do they even drive like that? i feel like my balance would be off.

this past wednesday, i had class continuously from 8am until 8:30pm. that sucked.

but i got to see elvis costello last night at summerfest with ben. because we got there so late, we were stuck in the very back with a pretty crummy view. it wasn't so bad though because we were right next to two extremely wasted 45 year old women who were not only sporting an unnecessary amount of cleave, but dancing erratically and waaay to sexually for their age. so at least we were entertained.

my parents just came back from africa where my dad ran the mt. kilamanjaro marathon... which means he's officially finished running marathons in 50 states and all 7 continents!!! and, although he's been running marathons for over 14 years, he only began this 50 states/7 continents thing 5 years ago. i'm so proud of him! and i'm glad that he can finally relax now...

and lastly, although i don't particularly enjoy summer, i do love the summer fruits that are in season during this time! so, i'm making it a goal to try to make as many pies, cakes, and other baked goods as possible using summer fruit while they're still cheap. on the list for today: fresh blueberry and yogurt cake.

i made my first batch of blueberry scones today!

mmmmmmm!

pictures to come later (if i feel like it).
