Farewell to Summer Fun

Wow, Amanda, you're on a roll! Love it...


I must admit I have never seen Overboard, but love that scene--not one in the movie, but the scene that played out in your living room with JJ. Awesome. And I love the post about your top 3 college moments. Next time we talk we should compare moments. (It strikes me that none of mine are related to my major or science while all (2?) of yours are related to yours...)

So today is the last day of the long weekend, the last unofficial day of summer, the last day my pool is open. It's cloudy out but I feel like I should go; even if not in my suit I feel like I should make a cocktail later and grab my chair and go relax for a few minutes poolside. Said cocktail would be the hair of the dog...

We had my cousin's surprise 25th anniversary party yesterday. It was fun, but I was anxious--it's the first time we were getting together since D passed away--so I drank a little more than I probably should have. Plus, I had a designated driver (my dad) so that was the extra push I really didn't need. Whatever. I so rarely get to let loose at a party, since I normally travel alone, and getting drunk by myself at home isn't really fun. Not that I was dancing on tables or anything: I just wasn't counting drinks, and every time someone at my table got up for a drink I had them get one for me too.

So taking a screwdriver out to the pool this morning sounds good. I have 40 more pages in the book I'm reading so that will be the goal. Another kiss of color would be great, but given the forecast pretty unlikely. If you're free and want to talk, give me a call on my cell.

Hope you're weekend has been good. Thanks for the text last night.

Love you,
Barb
