Life is good

I know you really don't want to hear this but I'm going to share anyway.  I told myself that my only goal for this summer was to chill out, sleep late, get lots of sunshine, take it one day at a time and heal from the suck year I had.  Well that's what I'm trying to do.  So for today - life is good.

Here's why:


  • Sleeping nice and late

  • Getting dressed for the sole reason of running an errand and meeting Nick for lunch

  • Getting a call from V asking about coming over and going swimming
Which is the only negative for today - having to shave already sunburned legs...not cool.  You're lucky I love you and your girls V.  I wouldn't do that for just anyone.  Just saying.  

Moving on...
  • Going swimming for 3 hours and not getting charred.  Sunblock is a beautiful thing.  

  • Actually having an idea hit me for dinner without having to stare longingly in the cabinets for endless amounts of time, hoping something jumps out at me

  • Making a dinner without any assistance from Nick - Chicken Alfredo and salad - YUM!

  • Making Banana Pudding b/c other Jennifer's was really good last week:
I know right?  Me actually liking something like that.  
Especially considering it was only my 2nd time ever trying it.  

  • Getting Final Jeopardy right AGAIN!!  Wooo!!!  I'm on a roll!  I think it's time to go on the show...  

  • Making plans to go to the beach Saturday.  Gotta find some water shoes first though - since I can't handle the way the sand feels on my feet *shudder*and plus that beach has too many dang shells! I mean I don't want to lose a flip flop in the ocean...
*sighs*  if only every day could be like this...

I love summer. That's why I became a teacher. Wait, that's not the reason, it's because I love children. NO wait, it's because I love summer. Oh, who cares, it's just nice.

I have to agree, sleeping late is the best. thing. ever. Now, if only I could get the human rooster, otherwise known as Cheyenne-the 6 year old alarm clock, to sleep late, it woudl be fabulous.

Thanks for having us over to swim. I need to get one of those things for my own back yard, but hey, the gas to your apt. is so much cheaper and I don't have to clean the pool. I appreciate so much that you took care of the sunburned legs and shaved. Even though, I probably wouldn't have noticed with all the "get off the rope" since that's all I could pay attention to.

That banana pudding does look great. Wish I had some. Yum. The dinner we had was not bad, but now I have heartburn. from. hell. just saying. Some people just shouldn't cook BBQ!

Do they have best friend's week on Jeopardy like they do on Wheel of Fortune? Cause if they do, I think we could work together and take it. What do you think?

srsly - we need to make a sign for her - I'll prob be talking about getting off ropes in my dreams tonight! someone needs to get that girl a 'noodle' or something.

IDK about best friends week for jeopardy. i'm thinking...not.

Speaking of - my dad and I decided we're going on Father/Daughter week for Wheel. We kick srs butt together. No lie.

Oh what a life!!! Sounds wonderful, perhaps I should consider changing careers. Even though today was just half a day still getting up at 5 and my eye still hurts. Surgery SUCKS!!! Bananna pudding looks great! Don't get too burned. Enjoy!!
