Sending an electronic newsletter (which is pretty cool, if I do say so myself) and killing time until my noon meeting, so I thought I would write a quick post about our summer in general. It has actually gone by really fast.

We couldn't afford for B to go to his usual summer program, so he has been going with L some, staying home or with friends once in awhile, and swimming every day. As a compromise, we managed to work in a couple of things to keep him entertained. He went to Space Camp right at the end of the school year, which was apparently awesome. (I still have to get three disposable cameras developed!). He went to church camp at the beginning of the month, where he had a girlfriend! This week, he is here. Actually today is the first day, and I can't wait to hear about it. Friday is my day to take him and I am hoping he has as much fun as I would doing this. He has also spent some time with his grandparents, who have at least one more camping trip planned, and then of course my mom and aunt will be coming right before school starts.

It has been way too hot to do much of anything this summer. I am hoping when my mom is here it is not too hot, but I expect it will be. Most of what we will be doing is indoors, at least, and then I can finish the rest of it on weekends as the weather cools off. I miss working on my house and different projects. Other than Kayce G, I am the only person I know who relaxes by sanding furniture :) I am hoping to take pictures, and plan a post about what I am working on. I won't get to start on it just yet, though. This week will be busy getting ready for RL, Saturday is the film showing, then next week getting ready for a week off.

Anyways, the next couple of weeks will hopefully be the good kind of busy, where I am occupied enough to keep my brain from thinking too much, and have something to show for it when I am done.

Boo Hoo

Last night my friend Rob posted something in advance of the President's TV appearance. Unable to resist, I challenged his comments. This led to a heated debate between another "friend" and me that went on for a while. It actually ended up with Rob and me on a completely different riff that had other people cracking up.

Today, out of curiosity, I looked to see if Lisa had posted anything else. Ha ha ha, I have been unfriended. This is the second time this has happened after I dared to disagree with someone. I was actually sorry about Tony, as I actually liked chatting with him and would never intentionally offend him. I am not at all sorry about Lisa, as she is an uptight, self-righteous pain in the ass. I mean c'mon, if an ex boyfriend with whom I am on opposite sides of almost every thing you can name and I can at least be Facebook friends, why not her? The only thing I will miss about her is that she posted good links.

Note to self: ask Rob to be sure to repost the good stuff :)

Relentless

The word of the day is "relentless". It describes the headache I had all day, as well as the thoughts that are keeping me awake. So, to think about anything else but that...

• The possible move to DC is off the table, but not permanently, just for now.
• I am about to embark on kicking the caffeine habit again. Wish me luck.
• My mom and my aunt will be here the week after next. Actually excited about it. Check again in a couple of weeks.
• I don't have a Facebook account, but continue to get about 5-10 friend requests per day. Apparently, someone who shares sexy pics and has an email similar to mine DOES have an account. I can't solve the problem without creating an account, so I spend 5 minutes a day deleting friends I don't have from an email I rarely check.
• I heard a song today that reminded me of someone I used to hang out with. We worked and partied together when I lived in Denver. Our nicknames were The Queen and The Princess. We were groupies of a local bar band and put these down as our names for their mailing list. Then we would drive all over town to listen to them play so-so cover songs in crappy hotel bars. One particular night we drove halfway to Thornton in the snow to hear them play at a Super 8. The two things I remember from that night are that my hot pink pants clashed very badly with the green and orange patterned carpet, and that a mirrored wall is good for practicing dancing if you dance like Axl Rose (me) or like someone who would have this song dedicated to her (Sandra):
