Five Elements of Summer

So many things come to mind that have brought me joy this summer.  These were the first 5 that popped into my head.  I'll finish the summer out McLovin' on all the rest.


1. New Kicks

-Look how shiny and new they look.  Aren't they purty? I love new kicks so much I want to make a pillow for them and tuck them in every night.  "Night Asics, Mommy loves you."

2. She's 13!?!

-Her first girl/boy party.  I was eating the inside of my mouth when deciding whether or not she could have "boys at my party?" I know we all hear it but, "where does the time go?"

3. Kid's Camp
-For one week I won't hear this!-

"Mom, I'm bored."
"Mom, get off the computer."
"Hey Mom, what are we doing today?"
"Mom, I'm bored."
"Mom....mom.....MOM.....why aren't you answering me?"

4. Being Pimped Out.....

-Thank you to Janny Chou and the wonderful folks from POM Wonderful for sending me a lovely care package of 100 % pomegranate juice.  I love me some POM in my protein smoothies, my favorite adult beverage, or in a spritzer.  Think Health.......

Other companies needing me as their spokesperson (bitch), send me an email. 

5.) Beaching With My "Soul-Sista"


-I love her even when she said this, "Shannon, it looks like there is a gerbil on your head!" 

How is your summer going?

Instead of "Dad, I'm bored" or whatever... around here it is "Son, where are my swim goggles?". I have about 3 things they know not to screw with...my wallet, my tri bike, and my goggles, BUT NOOOO!

O, wow! You'll be the spokesb*tch for GQH, Inc.? Company motto: "Meeting ALL Your N*ts@ck-al Needs Since Late 2008".

I can only pay you in defective n*ts@cks, but you'll never go wanting in the n*ts@ck dept.

Wait. "Defective" is such a harsh word. Let me change that to "irregular". Some even have pouches for THREE n*ts! Thst's a 50% BONUS! That's not a defect! That's a n*ts@ckular WINDFALL!1!

Let me know if you're up to this, sister!

The kicks are purty... are they still white? :-)

My mom used to always say, "If you're bored, I can find something for you to do." And that "something" was usually an unpleasant task like cleaning the bathrooms or weeding the garden, so I almost never dared to utter it.
