summer is over

I was hoping to keep more on top of daily blogging, but I'm having a problem getting back into the swing of it. Part of it is, that I have so much I want to say but don't know where to start. Last week I spent a lot of my free time uploading vacation photos to my kids facebook accounts. I know! I'm a total enabler. I, myself loathe facebook. I am proud to say I am close to 4 months clean of facebook!!! YAY!!! I was an addict. I was constantly checking it... as I would sit down at the computer my fingers would automatically try and log into facebook! ACK! It was out of control. I am glad to have severed that connection. There is much better things I can be doing with my time than reading peoples status updates. Sorry facebook lovers... I do think it has it's good points, re-connecting with old classmates and looking up businesses and such. But honestly, I like being anonymous some what in this world. So no chance of me getting back on there.

I can't believe summer is over tonight. Why must my favourite season end??! Our tans are already fading from our trip to Hawaii, which saddens me and makes me want to run straight to my neighbourhood tanning salon. Okay not "this" neighbourhood - someone else's nicer neighbourhood! My neighbourhood consists mostly of massage parlours fronting as other businesses and car lots. I would be so scared that there was a camera in the room uploading on to some porn site, if I went to one in my area of town. LOL!! Back to my love of tanning. I do love being tanned. I love the warmth the sun gives, wrapping it's loving rays around me. Even the fake rays from the tanning salon make me happy. I know I am not meant for this rainy cold weather, but it's coming, I know it is. It's sunny today, but this morning was so chilly. You could see your breathe in the air. Time to pull out the fall jackets and more sensible shoes, no more sandals. Waaaah! I love summer time... please don't go!!! I actually was totally not ready for the weather the other day. I dropped the girls off at school and it started raining so hard... I was just wearing a little sweatshirt and sandals, oh yeah and pants. Needless to say when making my trek from North Van to Richmond I was soaked to the bone. No umbrella. No nothing. I promised myself last year when I got caught in the rain like that, I would always wear more sensible clothing and footwear from now on. Forget fashion & just go for function! I am all for that train of thought again. "Hello, full piece rain gear and hip-waders!!!". It's not pleasant feeling and looking like you just crawled out of a storm drain.

Ahhhh, the postcards! I am terrible. I just sent them off today. I was having a heck of a time finding cool local postcards. It was slim pickings and I had to bite the bullet otherwise I would have never gotten them in the post. I hope they all make it safe & sound and that people can read my writing! I am normally a pretty large bubbly type of printer, but on those small postcards I have to contain my bubbliness. It ended up looking like someone elses printing altogether. I was channeling a grade 4 boy, I think. I hope they like them. I sent 5 postcards out. 4 over seas, only one went to the States. I babbled, unsure of what these people care to hear from me! Once I get some in return, then I will more of an idea of what people expect. I can't wait to see where our postcards will come from.

I bid you aidieu summer!!!
