that's the thought that went through my head as i pulled away from the dunkin's drive thru. i could have sworn that the boy that i got my coffee from was no older than 10. i would almost bet my life on it. but in massachusetts, you need to be at least 16 in order to work. i don't know. i don't remember being that young. but i was... at some point.

i'm pretty excited cause alia, lacey, and i have planned our trip, for the most part, to california. i think we decided to fly out on a thurs night or friday morning to san fran. stay a couple nights there, go to los angeles for a day and a half, then travel to san diego for a couple days, then off to vegas for the final couple days. this is going to be so exciting. expensive. but more importantly, exciting. i can hardly wait. yippee!!! i want to leave now. i looked at flights on the internet and i found one for like 520 which isn't bad considering we're coming into and flying out of different destinations. yippee! i'm so excited.

barnes & noble was a good time last night. i think lacey was a little overwhelmed with the spaciousness of it, but she found a book for her. something about witches and spells or something. i didn't really catch the whole thing. i think it's kinda a fun book about astrology-ish kinda things. i looked for that book by david eggers. i would like to tell you the title but i can't think of it... it's like "the story of a staggering genius" or something like that. anyway, i looked for it, but it was really nowhere to be found. :( i probably wouldn't have bought it, but i would like to flip through the pages.

i love flipping through the pages. reading a sentence here and there. feeling out how the author writes. i don't know. it's just exciting to me. i think i would really love to own a bookstore some day. not like a chain of them, but a nice quaint one. something like the trident on newbury street. but one more spacious. something swanky yet intellectual and fun. where readers and writers will go to read and write and hang with other readers and writers. it would make me happy, i think. to do that. but i really don't have any experience in the book industry. i'll have to get some.

i enjoy weekends. oh yes i do. just being able to sit back without a worry. without deadlines. without being detail oriented. just sit back and type out my entry for the day and drink my dunkin's coffee. these days come few and far between.

i need to make this an everyday occasion.
