Month: June 2003

Boy, it’s summer! Now why oh why couldn’t we have had this weather
over the weekend? I know I sound like a broken record, but sheesh, enough
already. If I’m not mistaken, Junior’s daycare provider has them all down at
the lake, building sand castles and maybe even paddling around in the water
a bit. She’s going to be amazed at how great he is in the water since last
summer – at his last swim lesson (which I missed because of work) he went
down to one bubble. He started with three, and had been two for a couple of
weeks. With one, there’s barely anything actually keeping him afloat, I
think it’s almost more psychological than anything. He learned that if he
doesn’t want to sink, he has to keep swimming, and swim fast. It’s odd, I
take it for granted that I know how to float and swim, but it’s all new to
them, and somehow the floating thing doesn’t come naturally.

I didn’t get the air conditioner in yesterday because it was raining so
hard. I hope I don’t regret that this week. I need to do that one and the
one in Junior’s room, which I can pretty much handle. I also need to get
some of that stuff to put around the AC to keep the bugs out. Fun!

I’m in the middle of my “dealing with it being the end of the weekend” blues. Except they aren’t really blues cause I don’t mind going to work tomorrow. I think I’m more annoyed that it’s absolutely POURING outside today, which, combined with yesterday’s drizzle, means this was a very gray weekend. And it’s going to be nice tomorrow, but that’s too late for me to hang out on the deck reading a trashy novel, now, isn’t it?

Actually, I just realized that I’d already read the trashy novel I started last week, so now I’m trying to decide if I should finish it, because obviously I didn’t remember much from the first time, or move on to something new. Tough call. I think maybe I’ll finish re-reading it. It’s not like I haven’t read things more than once before (Breakfast of Champions, anyone?)

I went to Filene’s and picked up three pairs of pants and a couple of tops, and that makes me feel pretty good. I want to get a few more, but this is a good start. AND, the ones I bought were another size down – which means the two I bought a month or two ago? Too big. I’m happy, but annoyed that I wasted the money.

So because it’s yucky, I’ll share a couple of pictures with you one of them is the first flower on my new clematis. The other is just a random shot from our May trip to Florida.

Wow, that was REALLY fast. I’m exhausted…it’s a two hour drive down to where the birthday party was (on this side of the bridge on the Cape), and it was kind of rainy and yucky all day, although not enough to keep the kids inside which mean at some point the adults have to spent quality time outside with the kids.

Junior ended up with a lightening bolt drawn on his forehead – guess the tots have Harry Potter fever. Actually every time this group gets together they play Harry Potter. Junior’s been lucky to get the lead role. My nephew has red hair so he gets to be Ron by default.

Oh, and let’s just follow up the stupid “I left the window open” with “I’m stupid and not only did I leave my keys in the ignition all day, but I left them in the “on” position and drained every last ounce of life out of the battery.” Good thing my sister lives in a good neighborhood (and that her husband is a State Cop…maybe that holds some weight around there?) We jumped the car and I was eventually able to get up home. Now I just want to go to bed, so you’ll have to beg my pardon as I cut this short.

Just in case there was any question left in anyone’s mind, I am a dope.
Wait, capital D Dope. (What a great word that is!) Why yes, I did leave the
driver’s-side car window wide open (as in, all the way) last night! Why yes,
it was raining when I walked around the car to get in and noticed it! Why
yes, my seat was soaked!

I want to go on record as saying I never leave my windows open. I
have no idea why I did last night – we had gone shopping for birthday gifts
and didn’t get home until after 8pm. So it isn’t as if I expected to go back
out again. *sigh*

Speaking of the birthday gifts – I was pleased with my purchases. I’m less
pleased that we’re driving to the Cape for a party this weekend and the
weather is supposed to be horrid. Too bad that party wasn’t Monday – they’re
saying it might hit 90! I’m going to have a Florida flashback! Don’t get me
wrong, temperature-wise, I’ve LOVED this whole spring. And I think it’s
pretty danged funny that the minute it rolls over to summer, the temps will
jump 25 degrees in one day.

Guess whose web site is number three if you go to MSN Search: food that help to have big breast?

I’m thinking…I have big breasts, yes, so maybe what you have to eat is what *I* eat! Or at least what I used to eat, which is how they got big. Start your day with some kind of pastry, even a PopTart will do if you can’t get to the Dunkin Donuts. Of course, if you’re at Dunkin Donuts get a Coolatta with cream, and don’t skimp on the whipped cream. And that’s just how you should START your day! This plan will also work toward the development of man-boobs.
