I learned a lot this summer. I learned more than just how to run a store. I learned the difficulties of being somebody's boss. I learned how absorbent I am of my surroundings and just how detrimental or beneficial that can be. I learned just how lucky I truly am. I learned that silliness has it's time and place. I learned what it was like to be genuinely disliked. I learned to tell people, "I appreciate you." I learned what a co-ed dorm would be like. I learned the value of respect. I learned that the words "I love you," can change your entire day. I learned how to find loop-holes in my day to find that person who would say those words to me. I learned humility and the importance thereof. I learned that friends love you no matter what.

Arrrg, matey. That was the theme of the Cubbies resident camp this year. Last year it was a Space theme. Next year? Wild West. Well, I worked for 9 days straight. And now I'm home for a little bit. I never realized how much work Russell did! It was okay, though, I greatly enjoyed it. Here what's new: I have more keys than I know what to do with. I'm rooming with Stephanie and I love it. I'm fancy dancing in the OA Dance Pagent. I get to dance every week. Reno is June 18 - 24 (Sunday - Friday of 2nd Week) I miss Mike. He left on Friday. I last talked to him around 1pm on Friday. I won't get to talk to him again for three weeks. And that is awful. He made me a CD. It's all professional looking and all, him being a graphic designer. It's called SummerSongs for Tiffany and it has "Wicked World" by Jon Auer on it. 'You're all I want in this wicked world...' He also sent me flowers. :-) Daisies. They'...

Well, I'm off to COI for two months. To be the 2nd best Trading Post director ever. (I bow to you, Ru-sell!!!) Write me letters or postcards! Tiffany Anne Heuser 601 Callahan Mountain Road Travelers Rest, SC 29690 I'll miss everyone. I may do weekly updates. We'll see.

Have you seen it yet? My sister entered my parents house last Sunday with rave reviews of this much anticipated movie . So, last night, when Mike and I could not get into the last showing of the latest X-Men movie , we decided to see the controversial flick, " The DaVinci Code ." I, for one, would have preferred Harrison Ford as Robert Langdon, if only because Professor Langdon is likened to Harrison Ford in the novel. Tom Hanks was an OK Langdon though. Sophie Neveu was portrayed by Audrey Tautou . Fabulous, I though, and very cute. Alfed Molina was an awful choice for Bishop Aringarosa. I was only waiting for long mechanical arms to sproud from his spine (per Spiderman 2 ). Ian McKellen as Sir Leigh Teabing was nicely done. Good choice. Jean Reno was strong Captain Fache and I really liked his character. Finally, we have dear Silas. How was Paul Bettany in the role? Fabulous. When he lunged from the shadows my body involuntarily leaped from my cushy black chair. I...

As of today, I am editing my blog. Every post that is edited will be noted in the title. This is a very difficult but necessary thing for me to do. Do you notice what I'm editing out?

Thirteen Things that Tiffany is Thinking 1. My arm hurts. I got my blood drawn for the first time today. Well, the first time that I can remember...apparently, I got blood drawn as a baby. It wasn't so bad. But now my arm is a little sore. 2. I have an ugly smile. I got a tooth pulled on Monday. So my smile has a hole in it. It's not very pretty. I cannot wait until the teeth come together. 3. My arch-wires are poking me. It's really annoying and it hurts my cheek. It makes talking a less likely thing for me to do. 4. I cannot believe I'm going on the Pill. Yeah. The Pill. My periods are so crazy, that their putting me on ortho-tri-cyclen. 5. I like my A-cups. Mary's breasts increased two cup sizes when she went on the pill. I don't want the same to happen to me. I like my little breasts. 6. I don't want my body chemistry to change. When you mess with your hormones, that happnes. But I just am nervous (not really nervous...that's too strong of a word...

It's a countdown that is bittersweet. 9 days until June 2nd. I'm excited for June 2nd because camp starts! Yay! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm worried that I won't do a good job. Camp is such an awesome place, and I cannot wait to immerse myself in that world. I'm also not-so-excited because this means my every-spare-moment spree with Mike comes to an abrupt halt. Terribly abrupt. He'll be in Georgetown doing a photo shoot that evening and then I won't be able to see him again until he leaves for Bangladesh. He'll be there for nearly three weeks. Timing is good though, I suppose. He's gone when I'm gone. A few days after Mike leaves for the 3rd-world, I leave with Dad and Mary for Reno. Drinking and gambling with my sis and my daddy. I must say, I am a bit excited about this. This summer will be really awesome, but it will also suck. Must remember to look on the bright sides. Mike says that this summer will either make us o...
