I don't think I'll put the suitcase up all summer

Back at home, and as busy as ever. Summertime is running time. Not as in jogging. *Gag* But, as in break-neck, fast paced trips and hecticness. Lots of church stuff going on. And, six major trips this year (2 down, 4 to go).

While we were gone last week, it seems the ants found 2 crumbs left and decided to make my home their own. I'm waging war, my friends. This happens EVERY year. I even cleaned well before leaving town! I came home to find a lovely line of a thousand ants marching to and from our cat's food bowl. Ugh.

I am finally getting to all the laundry from last week (ginormous pile!!), which is much overdue since I am still smelling the faint scent of boxcars and smoke (from the coastal wildfire - camp had the haze blow in on Friday). It's such a lovely, homey scent.

My next trip is this weekend, my annual "Seestur" trip, with my best friends from college. We decided to go to Boone this year...very fitting with this being the 10th year since graduation. (I won't mention the dear friend [Cheri] who told me the other day..."TEN YEARS...Man, you are old!!"). Just wait, your day will come. ;)

As tired as I am from last week and all the things to do for this week... Friday could not come soon enough! Oh, and did I mention the high is supposed to be in the upper 70's! Hallelujah and amen!
