Well, we are about 3 weeks into July and summer is officially in full swing. The weather is warm, and the outdoors beckon us like chocolate and Cheetos during PMS.
Why does it seem that the warm months fly by, barely getting here before they start planning their escape, and the cold ones? Well, they seem to want to hold on, lingering with us like a house guest who has made outstaying his welcome his job.
They've already started advertising "back to school" shopping deals, for crying out loud! Really?! Please let us enjoy our summer in peace. Please. Back to school shopping can wait a few more weeks. Can't it?
No, it's time to kick back as much as possible, bar-b-que, play in the water, drink cool frothy drinks, and hoard vitamin D like we're filming a series for TLC.
I, like many of you, need to commence the hoarding with enthusiasm, but, also with a healthy dose of caution. We, who have skin of the translucent variety. We the people, in constant search of the perfect sunscreen. We the people, who can get a sunburn during the car ride to the grocery store. We the people, whose translucence transcends into "glow in the dark" status when being observed in the underwater depths of a chlorine treated pool. We the people, who have less of a tan during mid-summer than your average Scandinavian newborn. We the people, whose only visible pigment shows up like a "connect the dots" activity that creates no picture. We the people, those people, yes, we need to proceed with caution.
Good thing freckles are cute. Just sayin'................
So, this week whipped by pretty fast.
My new copies of "Lexi" and "Crazy Day" were delivered safe and sound. Yay!
Several more trailers were completed and are now on their way to lakes, ball tournaments, and dance camps............................
Some grand baby snuggles were thrown in the mix.............
And for our date night? We were invited to attend a charity event for the Canadian cancer Society which was held at a nearby Motor Speedway. It was a great evening spent in the fresh air, meeting new people and reacquainting ourselves with old friends. All in all a fun night!
As for the upcoming few days?
Laundry and other such glamour filled things.............
It will definitely, and thankfully be another busy one at the shop, as there are several more trailers that are aching for road trips...............
Rehearse as much as possible for upcoming show that takes place in a couple of weeks..........
Write!!!
So, that , my friends, about does it for another week.............
Until next time I'll leave you with this wish.......
May the sun smile gently upon your shoulders, leaving them kissed and not bitten.
May you find your summer passion, whatever it may be, may you get lost in it, be truly smitten.
May you fill your time doing things never done, discovering your lack of limits, finding your groove.
May you reflect the joyous confidence this brings, with your every breath, your every move.
May you not only dance like nobody is watching, but do it naked, and in the rain.
May you not only grab the brass ring, make it part of a collection, create a chain.
May you walk in the sunshine, face to the sky, ready for anything that may come.
May you do so with a smile, for no matter what happens, you got this, yeah, you got this one.
Until next week......
