It happened again. I was watching T.V. with my mom and she asked me if I had any jeans that I needed washed. So I thought:

"No, It's July. I don't wear jeans in July. I should probally pack a pair for vacation though."

BOOM! My brain was suddenly filled with elation over my upcoming trip to Lake Erie. My family goes every year and I truly love it. I've always been excited to go, but it seems like the older I get the more excited I get. Maybe its just such a stress relief that the more stress I'm under, the more I need to be flopped on that beach without a care in the world? The only problem now ... is that vacation is almost a whole month away. I've been so crabby with not wanting to be at work. Ah well... who really cares anyways.

My summer has been pretty ordinary. Yesterday was a pretty great day though. I didn't have to work, which already makes it better than usual. My cousins Braden and Karley, who live next door came over. They are 8 and 6 and they are like sunshine in a rainstorm.... wow that was corney... but you get the picture. They are just such happy little kids! We had a water fight, made muffins, watched spoungebob, and the made milkshakes.

A little girl named Savannah comes with them sometimes. I feel really bad for her. She reminds me alot of myself when I was a kid. Chubby and Awkward. It was so strange yesterday though... she came over and decided she had to use the restroom... so I let her... I went in about an hour later... huge pile of my Dads shaving cream on the counter. No attempts to clean it up or anything. I'm not real sure what the point of that was. haha I guess its just a kid thing.

Anyhow, after a long day of work, my bed looks so comfortable, so I suppose I will give into it!
