Do you always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it? I always watch for the longest day of the year and then miss it. - Daisy Buchanan
Who doesn't love a corn-cob microphone?
Happy First Day of Summer! Home is grand. Tanning. Reading. Narcolepsy. Cottaging. Nancy Drew. Self-Titled Third Eye Blind Cd. Working Out. Frozen Yogurt. Blueberries. Love. Let me elaborate.
Slept in until 10. Amazing. Went to Sharon's workout class with my mom and Wendy. Soooo nice to actually do resistance stuff again (after how many months of fractured bones)? Surprised Caleigh at her engagement party, behaved like a normal person and didn't pig out on cupcakes, was the cause of Cathy Campbell spilling her husband's red wine all over Nancy's upholstered chair "Barry, stop lecturing her about The Bachelor!" ... as she swats at his wine glass, spilling it all over the chair. It was soooo wonderful to come home and see everyone right away!
Sunday
Slept until 10:30... who am I?! Went on a 10 K run with Tory that only ended up being 6.5K. BBQ dinner. Rock On Lakers.
Monday
Slept until 10 again. Went to teach Kindergarten with Dianne and Tory. Saw the kids from two years ago, most didn't remember me. Had training with RR... he kicked my ass. Went to the driving range with Ry and Daddykins, i'm better than Ry. Was supposed to hang with Brunton but fell asleep watching the bachelorette instead.
Tuesday
10 am wakeup. Went for a pedicure with Miriam. Didn't even ask for any psychic info cause i'm kinda done with knowing what may or may not be in store. Got gold nails. Ran to the club. Spinning. Walked home. Walked back to the club for dinner with Caleigh. By this time I could barely move but she wanted to walk so we did. Had sub-par sonoma salads, came home and watched the Lakers. Was supposed to hang with brunton once again but he was shooting til 9:30 and I had to go to sleep early to get up early to golf with mike. Tried to talk him out of getting a dog.
Wednesday
Lovely rainy gloomy day. Tried to decide what to read, after rifling through my mom's bookshelves and coming up empty handed, i rifled through my own and settled on a good old Nancy Drew. The Clue in the Crumbling Wall. There's something about Nancy Drews that just make me so at ease and bring back the most wonderful childhood cottage memories. Went to Joy's spinning. She proclaimed that she doesnt even have to ask me how I am because she diligently follows me on facebook and this blog. It was nice to be back spinning at the club. Decided to hit up Chapters before it closed so i could get myself some cottage reads: Anthropology of an American Girl by Hilary Thayer Hamann and a light read by the gossip girl author.
Thursday
Cottage. Tanned the day away (literally, from 11 am til 6) while reading another Nancy Drew (there's nothing more summer nostalgic than reading a Nancy Drew on the dock while listening to the water lap against the rocks... except maybe while eating ketchup chips, wearing a bathrobe over my bathing suit). I have this really fond memory of being like 14, lying on chaise lounges on the dock on a gloomy day with Maddie who would've been 4 at the time, listening to the self title Third Eye Blind cd, eating ketchup chips, and cuddled up in a about 5 towels each. So I decided to resurrect that cd. In ipod form. It was such a summer '98 blast from the past... a summer filled with cases of spice girls gum (and stickers & tattoos), neon active strip bandaids, hospitals, and gloomy weather. Anyways... back to my lovely dock day. Tanned, swam, the water was FREEZING! When 5:00 rolled around I was soon joined by Alyssa and Beau and we lounged around some more until we decided to go for dinner. En route to The Old Mill we picked up Steve, and were forced to listen to dance music because South American has inspired Beau to stray from his love of classic rock in favor of dance music. W. T. F. ??? Had delicious dinner and then realized that i'd missed both the General Store AND Lockside for my KD fix. (Kawartha Dairy ice cream, not Kraft Dinner - and to all you americans, you apparently call Kraft Dinner "Kraft Macaroni and Cheese... makes sense). So I then announced that we HAD to go to the Burleigh Falls General Store because I couldn't visit the cottage without having KD. But it was closed. Next hope, boat into Buckhorn. We get in the Foz's boat, we have zero gas, but decide to risk it. Unfortch both marinas were closed and beau promised me that the buckhorn general store would be closed too. Why oh whyyyyy does everything in the country have to close at 8:00 or earlier?? But Alyssa and I were sure it would still be open so we drove in. And of course it was. And they had cherry. (My top five flavs are Wolf Paws, gold medal ribbon, cherry, moose tracks, and chocolate ripple). Amazing. We headed back to the Foz's for an INTENSE Lakers game! But I knew they would win so when Beau bet me 10 bucks I readily accepted. He should know better than to bet against me, cause I only bet when i know i'm gonna win.
Friday
Today was much like yesterday. Although it started with a workout. Ran the 3K from the Foz's to my place, lugged the Kayak outta the basement and down to the water (so heavy, so didn't know if i'd make it back up the hill)! and then yakked (kayaked) back to the foz's and back home, managed to get the kayak up the hill, and then ran back to the foz's where i tanned for the remainder of the day. Although I did make a brief jaunt over to Mike's place to check out the renovations. Headed out at 4:00 to make it home in time for dinner and in time to get ready for Ash's going away party.
Going away party was wonderful! I never knew I had so many fans! People love my facebook page & my blog. Glad I can entertain you! It was soooo nice to see faces that I hadn't seen in a WHILE (Rob, Andres, Dave, Jeff), and I remembered how much i LOOOOOVE Natasha (not to mention how much I love the entire unit).
Saturday
Okay, this narcolepsy business is serious. I slept in until 11:00, dragged my ass out of bed to eat breakfast, then went back up to bed to spend a gloomy day reading. Fell back to sleep after several pages and didn't wake up again until 4:00 PM!!!!!!!! Who am I, Ryan?? I then went to Pusateris in a haze to get dinner (3 whole red snappers) and felt equally as hazy while walking Berkley. I ran into Rosemary and Rob and don't even remember what we talked about (except for contemplating the jaundice-like appearance of my gold nailpolish). Dinner was badass.
Sunday
Happy Father's Day Daddykins!
Officially obsessed with Anthropology of an American Girl. Everyone (well, girls) HAS to read it.
Pip took me for a ride on his motorcycle. i was terrified, but it was soooooo fun! And then we walked to get frozen yogurt. I TOTALLY felt like Audrina on the back of the bike. And looked really cool in store window reflections. White shorts & converse.
Watched the MMVA's. I love Miley and JB and Drake.
Monday
Spinning. Tanning. Tea time. Reading.
