summer -jobs and trips and money oh my!

so ive got some summer jobs lined up. maybe thatll keep me busy and ill be able to get a tan. im gonna be mowing yards in our neighborhood and babysitting and cleaning this ladys house down the street. shes old and cant really get around her house any more. sounds like it came from the movies cuz ill be cleaning out her attic to start with. shes 85 so there could be some interesting things up there. i just hope that the air conditioner works up there cuz its gonna be hot and musty. but shes paying me a lot just to clean out the attic and make sure everything comes down to the first floor so she can help sort it all out. she says shes not gonna live much longer and shed rather go through the stuff so her kids and grandkids dont have to when she dies. she keeps saying shes almost ready to go but God is letting her stay around for a while longer so she should make herself useful. shes excited cuz theres old photos up in that attic that she hasnt seen in years and she wants to send them to her kids. two of them are out in california and one is in nebraska. her grandkids are all spread out over the country and one is in scotland/ i think. maybe its england? idk. anyway i luv old people. u can learn so much from them. makes me miss my grandma and grandpa back in PA. i think ill call them tonight.

so im hoping that the kids i have agreed to babysit are good kids. its a 7 year old boy and a 5 year old girl. i dont really know them but mom says they seem good. she sees them out riding their bikes quite often. i guess as long as i dont have to change any stinky diapers im game. :P

and the lawn mowing is going to rock hard on my tan. i can i can mow in a bikini top and shorts and make the neighbors stare. HAHA! :P im not conceited but i am pretty damn confident in my body. /// think ill save that for another blog though. maybe as soon as im done with this one?

so mom and my step dad are wanting to take a few trips this summer too, but ive asked if i could stay with my dad. unless they are going to europe i dont wanna go anywhere. i may go to the beach one or two weekends but i honestly just like sleeping in my own bed. im not a tourist and mom is. she likes the touristy spots like museums and shops and junk like that. i like to see how people live in a new area. like go to the grocery store or the post office and just be around the different people/ hearing the different accents/ seeing the different clothing/ listening to the different music/ etc. museums are really the same everywhere. sure there are a few that are extra special / like the louvre/ but for the most part they are all the same. mom used to drag me to art museums when i was younger. i think every single art museum had an f'in mummy in it. its just not what makes my heart go. to each his own i guess.

so they are going to st augusting florida/ alabama to visit my step dads family/ and chicago to see my aunt. i wouldnt mind going to chicago cuz my aunt and i are cool. shes a musician on the side. she works a desk job during the day and plays clubs on the weekends. its so glamorous. HOT! :P

well i should get some lunch now cuz its late.

i still dont have a clever ending for my blogs. any suggestions?

Enjoy your time with the elderly. You can learn so much from people who are older than you.
