There is a lot to celebrate this week!New Job. Goodbye Roxy Cafe, Hello stable job at PCT International. I'm a little bummed that yet again I'll be working in a factory over summer. But, I cannot say no to a 40 hour work week when my savings account looks the way it does.
New Apartment Situation. Initially, Brooke and I planned to live in the apartment over summer. We assumed finding a job in Kalamazoo would be easier than finding jobs at home. Unfortunately, 20,000+ individuals have left Kalamazoo (I'm assuming), to spend their summer vacations at home. No one is really hiring. SO, we decided to do a storage option, and we'll probably save ourselves close to $500! Maybe a tad bit more since we don't have to buy groceries and whatnot.
My typewriter. My friend, Jenn, gave it to me. So far, I've only used it to type up some old character profiles and letters to friends.
Coyotes. There is a coyote living on my road! I haven't named him/her yet, but when I do I'll let you know. The coyote darted across my dirt road in front of my car and bounded into Elvis's clover patch. I slammed on my brakes. I wasn't close to hitting the coyote, but I wasn't really sure what it was at first; I didn't realize coyotes lived in Michigan. Last night I heard him howling somewhere in my yard. It was pretty neat!
Studying Japanese. I can't really explain why I'm having so much fun studying Japanese during summer vacation. I just love workbooks. It's kind of sick, really.
Brownies. I baked some. They've been in the house for two days, and there are two squares left. They were so soft and fudge and chocolate-y, and delicious.
Zucchini. I think zucchini has become my favorite vegetable. It's only rival is corn on the cob, a most delicious summer time treat! Seriously, I could eat zucchini with every meal and be satisfied. I especially love it grilled and dipped in soy sauce.
Honorable Mentions. Watching It with Marty. Playing Eternal Sonata on the Xbox360 while Marty slept. Eating a chocolate chip pancake at Roxy's for free. My new red pen. Sending off my loan paper work. Writing letters. The superb thunderstorm last Friday! Warm weather, the scent of freshly cut grass, and walking in the soft grass. Watching movies while eating loads of junk food with my parents. Three day weekends!
What's made your week lovely?

Congrats on finding a job; and on the typewriter. I am obsessed with typewriters - I featured a few vintage ones on Cafe Fashionista a few months back.
By the way, the fact that you mention your new red pen absolutely thrills me. Red pens are my favorite tool to write with - don't even bother asking me why! :)
That typewriter looks awesome! I'm hoping to track down one for myself sometime.
And horray for regular work! It's always a relief to have that sorted!
what a cute post !! ...the crazy sun made my week!
OH Congratulations on the new job, and the typewriter! I am so jealous!
