It's the second to last day of July. And. It is hot. We have been close to or over 100 degrees all week. Fingers crossed rain is on the way and some lower temperatures too. Tonight the girls and I went to see the Smurf Movie. So smurfin' cute. Steve was wavering about coming but he opted to stay home but I am thinking he would have liked it. It was funny. I am not smurfin' kidding.
So... let's see what have we been up to besides sweating.
- Ellie & I taped a St . Jude interview with our local ABC station.
- We talked about the upcoming Give Thanks walk in Richmond
- It airs sometime in August
- Ellie's last week of summer school is next week.
- Emma is having her physical on Monday so she will be cleared to play field hockey. JV & Varsity team tryouts are August 8th
- We leave for Hilton Head soon.
- I don't want to even venture out of the resort we will be in.
- It is an amazing place and I wish we were there now.
- Emma and I were talking about friends and I realized how lucky I am to have so many good ones.
- I am glad Steve is home from being away for a few days. I really miss him when he is gone (don't tell him I said that)
- Emma & I have been enjoying the Real Housewives series. Those ladies are messed up and we cannot get enough of them!
- Steve and I have been enjoying Weeds and the Big C on Showtime.
- I wish those two shows were on longer than 30 minutes. It's never long enough.
- Great writing on both shows. I love, love, love me some Andy on Weeds.
- Ellie's little friend from next door is back from her summer vacation.
- She went to China for a month.
- She brought her back lots of little Chinese presents.
- There is a nest of yellow jackets under one of our Leeland Cyprus trees.
- It makes me nervous but it is far enough away from the house and where we are when we are outside. If they wanted to relocate themeselves though, I wouldn't mind.
- The tall garden phlox in my front garden smells heavenly.
- Tucker pee'd all over my black-eyed susans that were around the mailbox and killed them all.
- Black-eyed Susans
arewere my favorite flower so I am sad. - Sterling Jewelers releases their St. Jude stuffed animals at the end of August.
- Ellie is on their team this year and her artwork will be on all the hang tags.
- Buy a plush puppy at Jared - the Galleria of Jewelry or Kay Jewelers and support St. Jude
- We have a lot of fun trips and events planned in the next few months that we are looking forward to.
- Disney World
- Adele concert (I am BEYOND excited to have gotten tickets!)
- ALL of our birthdays are coming up and a few more events after that!
- One being a possible TODAY show appearance... stay tuned...
- I am busy with work and designing.
- Hoping for lots of back to school business.
- I scored a new account that has BIG potential. (so excited)
- I have learned this week that I have no tolerance for certain people anymore.
- Bad questionable behavior, no manners and having a false sense of entitlement when you do nothing to earn it is really... well... just wrong.
- It feels good to be honest.
- Our cat Kanye figured out he likes catnip this week.
- We learned he does not like to share his newfound love of catnip.
- Life is good and I have not complaints... well except for the weather.
