End of Summer

I can't believe kids go back to school in a couple weeks! The summer has really flown by! And I have to say, it was a great one. Morgan has spent quite a bit of time over her dad's. She says she enjoys the little sister free zone, so it's mostly been just me and Sierra. We've kept busy at the pool, with playdates, and/or poking our noses into local events. We've had quite a few laughs, and the trip to SC was way more fun than I'd expected. When Sierra isn't here, I've been having friends over for more epic nights on the balcony with some festive adult beverages. Several good friends have also had birthdays this summer. The one a week and a half ago resulted in the drunkest I've ever been in my life. It was spectacular. I can't tell you how quickly I rushed to untag myself in those facebook pics.

I even enjoyed school shopping this year. I hit up all the clearance racks and 50% off sales at the mall yesterday. Sierra is going into 3rd grade and can finally fit in clothes from Justice (previously Limited Too). Dressing her like a little punk princess makes me squee. Morgan is going into 7th grade and has begged me not to buy any more cutesy clothes with monkeys on them. She's officially in Junior sizes now so though it pained me, I went and got her a few things from Aeropostale like she requested because unfortunately she is one of those girls. She's going to be embarrassed to be seen in public with me and Sierra any day now but I love her anyway. She's almost as tall as me and we wear the same size shoes. Effin weird.

Perhaps it's my iron levels finally getting back to normal, or maybe I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired, but I'm in such a great mood all the time lately and my energy level is, comparatively, through the roof. I've been working on taking off the chubbly wubbly. I'm down 10 lbs but refuse to admit how much more I have to lose. Being exhausted the past year was a terrible decision.

Booked my flight for DragonCon last week. It's been 5 years since I've gone. I'm so excited!
