Good morning everyone!



I have a rare day off. I think I should start getting used to these as I highly doubt I will be working this summer. I have work tomorrow and Wednesday, but nothing yet for the rest of the week. I'm sure I will receive some calls throughout the next three days.



It was a busy weekend. We headed down to Waterloo, Ontario for a tournament. We had a lot of fun. It was our first one of the year, so we had a lot of kinks to work out, but, overall it was fairly successful. The highlight for me, however, was finally seeing my best friend from college (I studied Journalism in Kitchener for three years) for the first time since 2006. We've stayed in touch, but never had any opportunities to cross paths. Anyway, I went out for dinner with Kate and her boyfriend on Saturday. It was only about two hours, but it was great to catch up in person. I also visited a friend from teachers college afterward. Sometimes, you forget how good it is to speak to friends you don't see much in person.



The ride home was fairly stressful. We listened to the first two periods of Game 7 in the Kings vs. Blackhawks series on the radio. I was going fairly crazy. Thankfully, we arrived home in time for the start of the third period... and wow. It was incredible to see the Kings tie it up and then win in overtime. I'm excited to see them back in the Finals. It should be a great series against the Rangers!!



Well, I hope everyone remembered to flip their calendars yesterday. We're closing in on so much. That 200-day marker is fast approaching, as Crown has made us aware, and Christmas in July is so soon, too! Until then.... how about this beautiful weather?!?



Have a great Monday, everyone!!

Sorry you got stung, I hope your hand feels better soon. I am so afraid of those things. I killed one that was in my house last week. I guess he snuck in somehow, thankfully my cat brought it to my attention. I'm glad I got him before Bentley did!
Good luck this weekend, sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun!
Have a great day!!!

I am always worried about Harlowe getting stung.

They tried to teach me to sew in boy scouts but I was never very good at it. I could get my patches to stay on but that's about it.

DD is in Girl Scouts & the patches are now iron-on, thank goodness!

Today is DD's birthday & she is 9 years old. I told her she is halfway to being a grown up, so this is our "summer of responsibility & independence". We trying to get her to take care of herself & her things more on her own. Being an only child, she's had me to do everything for her because it's easier for me. I'm trying to let go & let her learn how to do things so she'll be able to get along without me someday! She took her first car ride this morning without any type of car seat---just a seat belt like a big kid!

I've been listening to the podcast & Christmas music while walking at night, makes the time pass more quickly.

I hope everyone has a great day.

Xmas, I've been praying you'll find a new job that won't stress you out so much.
