It's winter...time for fires and blankets, hot drinks and late nights, waiting for springtime and sunshine and rebirth.

sum, sum, summertime!
SUMMER. It has finally arrived, and here I am, back in the good ol' City of Roses. One more year down. I can't believe I'm halfway through college, but I'm happy to have a breather and break from homework for a bit (or 4 months...a little longer than a bit).
What I've enjoyed since being home: lounging on the coach, sipping my thé caramel, taking bubble baths, reading for FUN (current book of choice: Hood by Stephen Lawhead - saw him do a reading at SPU just a couple weeks ago), seeing the fam, catching up with old friends.
And what else have I been doing? Working, working, working. Sweeping, scrubbing, and shop vac-ing dear old Sellwood Pool, getting it all ready for next Monday morning. Well, Saturday, actually, when devoted parents stand in line for a good hour to sign their kids up for a week of free swimming lessons. That pool gets DIRTY. I've killed more spiders this week (and ants and centipedes and other creepy crawly critters) than ever before in my life. I also scrubbed every darn toilet in that facility.
Also, going to grad parties, going to the dentist, looking for a car, and updating my etsy.
Things on the to-do list: play guitar, paint, garage sale shop, take pictures, update my blog more often (just for you, Dad) and more.
Oh, and one last thing. I've decided, it's for sure, this is going to be one heck of an awesome summer.

Summer is here! Yippee. And since one of your to do list items is to "paint garage" I am excited to let you be part of my furlough week fun. Wait, was there a comma in there somewhere, as in "paint, garage"? Dreaded, infernal comma. Be gone! Out damn'd comma! Out I say! (to misquote the Bard). At any rate, you are more than welcome to join our painting fun.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have you home!
I'm glad you've decided it'll be awesome.:) Because in just about 2 months I can pretty much GUARANTEE that it will be awesome!!! And also, I'm a bit offended that you only blogging more for your dad. Who's the one that's been pestering you on your old posts? ;) just kidding. Considering I don't even have a blog, I'll let your dad take full credit. :) miss you roomie!
