Monday Musings - June 22, 2009

1. Rain is depressing when you have so many outdoor things to do and enjoy.

2. It is summer! Don't spend so much time wishing you were on vacation that you forget to enjoy each day. Labor Day will be here way too soon and I don't want to look back on the summer and say--where did it all go?

3. Sodas for the weekend: $20.
Heating the pool so we can be in it and not freeze: $600 (so far)
Having Ethan jump off the diving board into my arms for hours at a time: Priceless

4. Enjoy life while you can--it can be gone quickly.

5. Father's Day--family and fun. Sitting with everyone assembled in a local restaurant is a great way to celebrate the day. Thanks all.

6. Having my dog sleep at my feet reminds me how much I have missed having a dog. There is something really cool about being accepted as a member of the pack.

7. Seeing the first firefly of the year on the last night of springtime brings back memories of chasing them outside when I was a kid.

8. How crazy is it that one of the things I love most is to jump off a small boat in the middle of the ocean and then go below the surface. And now I have a camera to show everyone what I saw down there.

9. What if the burgers and fries weren't? But they were really cookies in disguise. How fun would that be? Ask Nicole.
