Summer is officially here. As of yesterday. We've had a few days of triple digit weather already. Luckily that pool officially opened May 1st. It hasn't even been crowded. I'd say once in the past two months there were no parking spots. Not bad.
I'm stuck at home today. Sam's truck is being serviced and he has my car at work. Mid May we went to Florida. The Boners joined us, so it was even more fun than normal. Loved having them there and hitting all the yummy places. And drinking ALL the drinks, lol.
Then after we got back, Chrissy and Jamie came to visit us. It was a perfect month! In July we'll be spending some time at the beach with other friends, then possibly headed back to PA in August to visit and stuff.
The summer will be here and gone in no time. I'm hoping to get a few more things accomplished in the mean time. I did manage to get one of the guest rooms completely finished. I'm currently working on the 2nd one. The girls are still working on getting their townhouse set up and learning what is priority. Sarah, of course, is doing ok financially, but Rachel struggled a bit this month. She had to borrow money to meet her bills. Then they got a dog on top of it. *sigh*
They've only been living together for 2 1/2 months and they are already getting frustrated with groceries, bills, taking care of the dog and cleaning. LOL Hey - wake up kiddos. This is life!
The neighbor is still trying to figure out life too. She was off and on with that loser boyfriend for a while. I gave up after the first break up on counseling her. Now he broke it off 3 weeks ago because his wife hired a PI. LOL - really? He supposedly told her a looooong time ago he was in a relationship with someone else. Yeah. Not. Loser.
Anyway, she's doing Tinder now. It provides a good bit of entertainment for her. She likes to read off the profiles and messages to me. I listen, although I'll admit, they sound really juvenile and boring. But she is only 28 after all. I need to find friends. I keep saying this.
I've gardened the shit out of my yard this summer. Bushes and flowers everywhere. And every time I pass a flower stand or the garden center of stores, I want to buy more. What? I've got a problem. LOL
I've got like 3 other projects I need to finish up first. One is the old window we picked up several months ago out of the trash at the beer fest out at Root City. I want to do something with it, but Sarah also wants to do something with it. We'll see.
The other two are lamps I simply need to paint and finish with new shades. One is an antique and I won't be able to find just any shade. It needs like a 1 inch opening on the shade to stay on. In tulip shape. I may have to abandon this lamp project. The lamp was only $2, but I didn't realize it was missing its shade, I just liked the shape. Ugh.
The 2nd is a wall mounted lamp. I need to figure out where it's needed the most. Hmmm... Maybe I'll put it in Sammy's Room. I keep thinking his dresser is really crowded. If I wall mount that lamp, he won't need the little on his dresser.
Ok, other than that not much else going on. Oh we went o Charleston this past weekend on Saturday. It was the Brew Haha Beer Festival. Lots of fun and not crowded at all. The comedy show with it was ok too, but to be honest we were kinda beat and could have sat and listened to anyone. Sunday, for Father's Day we hit QSL for wings. I bought Sam the makings for Moscow Mules and 4 new mugs. He said not to spend money on him, so this was my limit. I wanted to get him a new suitcase, but he wanted to take it easy on our Visa this month to recuperate from last month's spending. LOL - we need to slow down. We spend a lot between Florida and C/J's visit Hell I think dinner with C/J alone was like $400.
So that's about it. Nothing new on the fitness plan. Just keeping myself active and not over-eating. Motivation to diet hard-core hasn't hit me yet. Hopefully soon. But....then cake shows up and well, I just love cake.
