Surprised? Thought you would be. Life is a very fast-moving train and so many things are happening around me, but I only get to catch a glimpse before the next thing is speeding by. So here it is in a nutshell...our computer died and the loaner hates me so pictures will have to follow later (hopefully).

May - Polka Fest (a little dancing in the street)

May - Hannah graduated (I cried...and Angie did too)

May and June - Paige and Noah had ball games (it was hot)

June - Paige went to cheer camp (Hannah was sad)

June - Noah went to Twilight Camp for Cub Scouts (got to shoot stuff)

June - took a family vacation with Greg and Cynthia and sons to Broken Bow, OK (amazing hot tub)

June - had a grown-up night out (+ Hannah) at a Brazilian churascarria (Angie got sloshed and pilfered the barware)

June - went to a party to celebrate Uncle Bob's 80th bday, Aunt Sadie's 75th bday and their 50th anniversary (gotta love accordion music...and trying to follow along on Czech songsheets)

July - Noah went to a football clinic with the big boys (I worried)

July - Noah had his 9th birthday (got lots of boy stuff...most of it I just don't get)

So now it's August and I'm ready for a break - but I feel busier than ever. Maybe it's because there are a lot of little things that I don't want to do that need to be taken care of. Hmmm...self-analysis stinks. I think I saw a bumper sticker - put your big-girl panties on and deal with it. Yeah...

So until next time...whenever that is! :)

(gotta call the insurance company and get them to pay the car dealership (DONE!)...oh, and I need to call the cell company - they've got our bill so messed up (DONE!). Then, try to get the financial software to work again without losing the last 6 months of stuff (DONE!)...hmmm, get online and try to figure out a workaround for the Apple conspiracy that has robbed me of my beloved iPod. While I'm there, I need to find a new electric plan and phone contract...try to get some of these bills down so I can afford to buy gas! Need to follow-up on those dratted student loans or Hannah may not be going anywhere in 3 weeks. Heyyyyyy....there's an idea...)
