A wedding! I love weddings! Drinks all around!

I'm playing the piano for a wedding tomorrow at church. Weddings are always such fun. :)

It's actually my friends Evan and Toni's son who is getting married. I don't really know him very well, even though he's my age, because I don't think he came to church much with his parents. And I just met his fiance last weekend. Still, I love Evan and Toni, and it's exciting.

I entered a contest with a local radio station to win free Lasik eye surgery. I hope I win.

I looked at a couple apartments. I know I'm looking at the cheap places, so I guess that explains why they weren't very nice ones. The one was really bad because it didn't even have a shower. It had a bath tub. No shower. Seriously, who takes only baths these days? Maybe really old people? The other apartment wasn't as bad as the first one. The outside of the building, and the neighborhood, were kind of shady, but the apartment itself was okay. Except for the teeny bathroom. I'd never seen a bathroom that small before. The shower was just a rectangle, like a phone booth.

Looking at those two, it makes my current apartment look like a pretty nice place to live. Eh, I just need to keep looking. And probably look at something that costs more than those other two.

Independence Day was relaxing. I didn't have any set plans, so I slept in, then shopped at Target, got a Frappuccino, went out to lunch with Emily, and finally we invited ourselves to our parents' house. There, we spent an hour and a half taking apart Emily's old CD player from her previous vehicle, in order to extract the CD that was inside. We finally got it, and were very proud of our mechanical skills. I watched part of the Indians game there, but I left at the seventh inning stretch. On my way home, I looked at all the lightning bugs in the trees lining the the highway, and I saw several illegal fireworks in the sky. It was beautiful.

The smallest bathrooms i've ever seen were in Japan. Like, they felt like 'bath units' rather than 'rooms', like the bathrooms were developed offsite and just pushed into a room of the correct size. Everything was directly molded into the floor, wall, or cieling, with very few visible seems between the components. (here (http://www.themonkeyrepublic.com/copper/displayimage.php?album=17&pos=6) and here (http://www.themonkeyrepublic.com/copper/displayimage.php?album=17&pos=7) are pictures).

Good luck finding an apartment! I've been in the same one for 2 years, and signed another lease. Not becuase I love the place, but because it is a convenient location and it would be a hassle to move.

That's a weird-looking bathroom. I'd say this bathroom was about as small as that one, but a different shape. And not as clean.

Yeah, I don't feel like my current apartment is in a very convenient location. It's close to work, but it's not that close to my parents, Emily, or church - which are all places that I go a lot.

Aw! It seems like so many people got married yesterday. A friend of mine had her wedding on 7/7/7, too. :-)

I'm glad you had a relaxing holiday!

On Friday, my dad said, "Laura, why don't you get married on 7/7/7?" I said, "Well, I only have a day to find someone to marry... unless I can wait another hundred years."
