summer is not something beautiful like that eerily siren-like call of the ice cream truck and thinking its still ok to use easy bake ovens anymore. it's become like a melting ice cream cone or sweet tea left out in the sun too long so its just hot, and too sweet. it's spoiled and old.
don't give me good gossip unless its satirical or ironic, i'm so tired of peddling it for a laugh and a raised eyebrows. even though i'm all for laughs and raised eyebrows. i'd rather be seeing them in another country or in some outfit that isn't appropriate to work in an office on campus, or while i am riding my bicycle without wind making it impossible. the bicycle i'd like to paint hot pink as soon as i get the chance.
yes, i know i'm supposed to get my work done but it's summertime and i haven't had ice cream in...weeks. (that's a lie but it was with old people so it may as well have been a parfait) i do love a good parfait though. i work out at a gym when i could run around outside or play a game. un juego. esto es espanol. i told a boy in class that i was going to fight him before the month was up yesterday. i was tired of him telling me answers to questions i hadn't asked him about conjugation from the other side of the room. mind your own spanish kid, and put that popped collar down.
i have to go to a storage facility today. maybe i'll satisfy all my moroseness with a cajun cone.
but probably not. too many calories and it would melt on my work appropriate clothes.

Some aspects of this blog are kind of sad - the growing up part. Others are so 'you' I can almost hear you telling off the boy in Spanish class!
Yes, you are in the adult world now with responsibilities. It doesn't mean you can't run out the door when you hear the ice cream truck or play in the sprinkler when you're watering the lawn. I suggest running through the sprinkler wearing your work appropriate clothes. That's what they call killing two birds with one stone!
Ice cream with old people (ugh, probably were my age) is still good if it's Blue Bell or homemade. I think I told you that, once you get caught up on the 'house' assignments, I'll get you an ice cream maker. Then you can share it with your young adult friends!
I love getting treats for you but you need to get caught up on the stuff I've gotten already. Who knows, maybe you'll find a Lowe's gift certificate for some bright pink metal paint or a Walmart card for a slip n'slide.
The thing is Kate, you are only as old as you feel. If you want to feel 79, go ahead. Foster is that age and he just spent a week at camp playing all the games and keeping up with the kids. It was his first time ever at a camp and he's planning on going back next year! If you want to feel 10, get that cajun cone, run through the sprinkler in your clothes - whatever they happen to be, and go crawfishing the next time you get a chance.
This is the appropriate time for the scripture about there being a time for every purpose under heaven.
GOD WANTS US TO HAVE JOY!!!
I love you and I'll see you in a few ... the day after tomorrow!!
