bedtime

for all of you west coast readers it's 8.26 pacific time and i am headed to bed. big day tomorrow...drug test at the hospital. let's hope i pass (: while i do indeed love the heat, it will take a little getting used to. today was balls hot and we had to move all of my worldly belongings across the grass and up the stairs into apartment #1422. it didn't take too long to get it all taken care of and here i lie in my new room! i found my camera cord so i vouch that pics of the great texan adventure will go up by the weekend. 

this afternoon the old folks and i went on base (laughlin AFB) to do a flight simulator with rem. it was lots of fun. pretty much like playing a life-sized version of a multi-million dollar flying game. i landed the plane on the 2nd try...but got it in the grass so third time was a charm and i landed that baby right on target. we headed home after that to wait for the gang (stef, ash, rem, jake and matt) and mom, dad and i made grilled chicken strips, a delicious salad with bleu cheese, pine nuts, avacado and pistachios, watermelon and grapes, corn on the cob and peach cobbler. yum. i'll be doing dinner tomorrow night too...any ideas???

i like it here. it's good to see friends and hopefully make new ones. i love my roommates. we're currently pounding through season 3 of gilmore girls and are planning a harry potter marathon just in time for the new movie out on july 15th! that, my friends, is a wednesday. and here in del rio, all movie showings on wednesdays are TWO DOLLARS AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. that is absolutely ludicrous. oh did you seattleites want to know how much gas is? $2.41. so i definitely am living large and sprung for premium. we're already looking ahead to moving out of the apartments next month and into a house...you guessed it, those are cheap too. corn on the cob is $0.50 (FYI) but beer is regular price (boo!)

that's all from 110 degree del rio. hope you are well.
