Ding dong the witch is dead...

Ok so I never update this because, as per the last entry, most of my life is spent working. When I'm not working I'm usually too tired to go do anything too crazy and exciting, so most of my free time is spent watching movies with the boy and staying out way too late for how early I have to get up.

But, because I somehow got an entire weekend off when I only asked for Saturday night off (ok, I got Sunday off...not the whole weekend, but a whole day!) Anyway, I had a day to cram full of fun exciting things.

Thing 1: The lake! So yes this is Nebraska, and yes we are landlocked, but we've got a crap ton of lakes. There's at least 4 within 30 minutes of L-Town, and there's just something about murky water and burning hot sand that makes it so much more fun than hanging out at the pool. But really, I think it's just the fact that it's something different and it's always good to get out of town for a bit. Also, this time I correctly used sunscreen and did not get crisped. Always a bonus.

Chillin' at the beach.

Thing 2: Pinewood Bowl! Every summer, there's a musical out at Pioneers Park. This year, it's the Wizard of Oz (hence, title of this post). I've gone almost every year since I've moved here and it's like my favorite thing ever. I will admit that it's a little less fun when it's like 97 degrees out and like 400% humidity, but still fairly enjoyable. The last shows are July 14-17 and you (whoever you are) should probably go.

The outdoor amphitheater.
And all the people that come.

Thing 3: Garage sales! Ok maybe this isn't that exciting, I just think it's great because I'm moving to a new apartment and need furniture. Where else can you get cheap awesome things like these shelves?

15 bucks. Win.

I actually did all of these things in one day. I wouldn't recommend that, but hey, whatever works right? Oh, and I am done with summer class now so I don't have to do homework anymore. Hooray! It is officially summer now :)
