Brain-cation

I've neglected you - I'm so sorry!

What has happened in the past month?  Well let's see:

• I finally finished up that class I've already forgotten about ;-)  
• I've fully embraced summer - first sunburn of the season and all!
• I saw a dear friend of mine after a year and that was totally cool
• Played in a lake and went REALLY fast in a speedboat
• Celebrated my baby turning 8 years old on America's birthday
• Participated in the annual Kid's Day festivities here in my town
• Saw some amazing fireworks!
• Gave my brain A REST.

So you see... it was a much needed brain-cation so that I could hopefully come back with some more fresh and inspiring and funny and heartfelt and... well, you get the idea - STUFF to share with all of you! 

I tend to lose myself once summer comes along.  I can get completely intoxicated on everything my favorite season has to offer.  I love sunshine, summer rain showers, campfires, s'mores, camping, star gazing.... ah just plain GETTING OUT.  Especially living in New England where it feels like half the year I'm trapped within the confines of my small apartment hiding from the elements.   I need to get out and be free and experience the great outdoors.  This comes with road trips and beaches and and and....  oh my can you sense my excitement?!?!  I fully intend to soak up every possible moment before its time to put the layers back on and crank the heat.  I'm running barefoot and letting the sun lighten my hair for the next several months and I hope to have much to share with you during this so stay tuned for more!
