Vacation
I just had to pick the hottest week of the year to take my summer vacation. ;)
Hasn't been too bad. Saturday I went to my friend's picnic. It was nice and I got a lot of compliments since I hadn't seen the people there in a year or so. :) Afterwards I drove to my parents house. I was only 20 minutes away, plus I amy as well spend the holiday with family, and yeah they have a pool. Spent Sunday and Monday in the pool. My brother and his family came down both days. It was fun playing with Andrew in the pool. I think one of his goals was to splash me, but we had fun trying to show him how to swim. He did pretty good, especially when he'd get on the kickboard and not want help as he splashed me, Grandma, and Papa. I was going to come home Monday, but by the time I got out of the pool for the finalk time Monday, I decided I may as well stay another night. I had left Shadow enough food in case I decided to stay. I was in the pool from 10am until about 12:30. I ate lunch, showered and headed home.
The house is warm. I have the fans going on the main two floors. If it gets too bad, I will turn on the a/c, but it's been comfortable down in my family room, and sleeping wasn't too bad last night. Ran errands today and saw Shrek 4. I liked it. Definitely one of my favorites, 3 is definitely my least favorite of the series. Tomorrow I'm getting my car detailed and will be stuck at the large mall. Gee being in a place with a/c and lots of stores to keep me occupied-- yeah it sucks... ;)
With this weather I don't really think I'm going to accomplish any projects or things around the house, though maybe Friday or Saturday I'll load my car up with my old printer, scanners, camera, etc and drop them off at Best Buy to recycle. At least it'll get them out of the house--less clutter for me.
I do need to go through the bags of clothes I plan on donating. I figure it might be better if I actually have a list of what's in each bag so I can claim it on my taxes. Plus I could probably weed out more stuff.
My USA shows start next week. Looking forward to White Collar and Psych. Covert Affairs also looks interesting. I'm already watching Burn Notice and Royal Pains, plus add in Leverage and I have more stuff to watch during the summer than during year, almost.
