july+9-15

Monday I had to work 10-4. I decided I hate opening. It is so boring to have no one there for an hour. I really like working earlier in the week because the owners take the days off and I'm not constantly running around. I also really enjoy our tourists because they ask really funny questions but they are also genuinely interested in our state. I had the day off Tuesday so I took advantage and finished our summer reading of The Great Gatsby. I hate annotating. It completely ruins reading for me. I like to just read through it at my pace rather than stop to scribble down my thoughts. However, I do understand the importance and reasons we do this. I'm happy to get the reading out of the way as well. Wednesday I also had work and I'm always so exhausted all I do when I come home is sit around and read. Which of course isn't a bad thing. Thursday I worked again but I got sent home early because it was so slow. A huge folk festival held here was starting and everyone was there instead. That night I went out to dinner with my mom and sisters and later we walked down to the folk festival. Violante loves live music and went nuts on the dance floor. I wish I had taken a video. I had energy work done in the morning. It was almost like a massage except instead she was moving my energy around in my body. I left feeling so good. My Mimi (grandma) came down on friday with my cousin to sleepover for the weekend. We went to lunch and did some shopping in a cowboy store. I walked to my work with my cousin Sacha and Violi to get my check and walk around the area. We had fun while my mom was at MoMo. Later we played with all of my baby sisters toys such as her scooter and bike. Saturday we shopped and spontaneously decided to get piercings. My cousin got his first ear piercing and I got my cartilage pierced. It was the most painful I've had done yet. After that we went to help my mom at the bakery. Sunday we also helped my mom at the bakery all day. I enjoyed it though, mostly because of the delish treats I got to eat!
