I've been busy.
I just sort of decided that the laptop and I were breaking up for a bit-with the understanding that eventually we'd make up and get back together, you know, once summer ends and it becomes convenient again.
for now I've got better things to do.
like
1. hit up Hart's gas station for refreshing cherry cokes
2. go for daily walks with my offspring... and the stupid dog too
3. hang out at the pool with the Nub's girlfriends (they go on walks with us and we swap babysitting too)
4. sew with my sewing club (no lie, we totally have a club...if you can call the 4 of us hauling our kids to the clubhouse and sewing like 2 things while wrangling 6 kids a club)
5. going on actual dates with my Hub (see #3)
6. attending the Manti pageant and laughing at the overly dramatic narration, and the kid who tried to do a ninja kick during one of the battle scenes and failed miserably. I think he may have pulled a groin.
7. eating lots of sandwiches
8. planning some murders... of the snails who keep trying to eat my plants. in.cold.blood. stupid snails watch your backs.
9. celebrating birthdays and father's days
10. eating popsicles
11. playing in the grass
12. playing at the park
13. hanging out with Stoopid and Sweetcheeks
14. weekend tripping to the Connie's.
15. planning a camping trip
16. dreaming about going fishing
17. wanting to make scones (SCONES!, like the white trash ones, straight greasy and covered in honey)
18. getting excited about parade season (let's play count the beauty queens!)
19. watching SYTYCD (I'm having problems connecting this year. I think Carlton/Brandon is super distracting. That and I don't have DVR anymore so watching T.V. is a lot of effort and I can't rewind. I hate that).
20. catching up on Mad Men. Netflix, let's get married so I can whisper sweet nothings in your ear and tell you how much I love you without feeling guilty.
21. firing up the grill, last night we made tin foil dinners and don't be jealous but it was good
22. sno-cones!
23. burgers, I like to eat burgers, a lot. Hub and I are on the quest for burger perfection. And I think we are thisclose to achieveing it, don't worry I'll keep you updated.
24. church and stuff. church and stuff is a lot of work
25. wondering when my kid is going to slow down and stop getting so big? Oh yeah, never. DAMN YOU CIRCLE OF LIFE! p.s. he turns one in like a month, I'm hyperventilating just typing that out.
26. corn and watermelon stands, yes please.
27. soaking it all in. I.love.summer. I can't say it enough.
I LOVE SUMMER!!!
and for your viewing pleasure, my two favorite summer romances:
p to the s, I appreciate all your voting both for blog luxe ( I think I ended with like 80 votes which was like 79 more than I thought I'd get, so bonus!) and the little poll we had running on the side bar... "Hub" won, guess you like him best as is. Hey guess what? Me too.
Now go eat some watermelon.

I'll send my boys over to take care of your snails. I swear Josh walks around with a baggie of salt in his pocket looking for "murder" opportunities.
I'm excited to heard what you're sewing sounds fun!
I can't believe the nub is almost one. WHAT??!
fun, fun, fun. i do believe i was in your neck of the woods this morning. we went to thanksgiving point to splash around at the children's garden.
It's not just you--I'm having problems connecting with SYTYCD this year too. Maybe it's because last year was so amazing that this year's contestants have been...boring. Finally, with Mia Michael's butt routine, I connected with at least one couple.
sigh.
This might just be your answer on your quest for the perfect burger http://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/hamburgers-teriyaki-and-roasted-potato-wedges/ They are so SO yummy!
Oh and a easy scone recipe is un-thawing Rhoads dough and deep frying it in a pan of oil. So easy and so yummy! I totally sound obsessed with food.
I hear ya.
I thought my blog would go kaput this summer cause I love the summer so.
But, I have a baby that naps 2x a day as well as a 3 yr old still nappin.
So...blogging is not dead this summer.
Yay!! I got a hyperlink on your supercool blog!! I'm so honored. But seriously...Jocelyn is going to have to fight me over those sweetcheeks!
I'm having a hard time connecting to the contestants this year too, although I must say carlton/brandon totally came out of the woodwork with that last Dave Scott Hip Hop routine...I had no idea he could hit it so hard! I didn't love wednesday's dances as much as I usually do though... I'm not going to lie!
Thanks for your shopping expertise today...I need moral support for big purchases!
ps. you can also make scones with that pantry secrets bread...FYI
Oh yes, Manti pageant is ridiculously silly.
Oh, I've been craving scones, too. Maybe it's a Utah thing?! I always do when I'm here. Summer rocks.
Wish my summer was as exciting..and what do you mean your baby is one. Not possible.
thanks for the post...I was starting to get angry! :)
I'm loving your summer list. Sounds fun. If I moved by you, could I join your sewing club?
And are you having a big party for the Nub's 1st?!? Because they totally remember it.
Agreed about SYTYCD....I loved the auditions and expected to be addicted to the performances, but am not. Yet I continue to watch it. Summer = cool.
(glad you found me) :)
I love your summer list. Sounds so fun and reminded me I need to go get a snow cone.
Guess what. Snails are ALWAYS watching their backs. That's why they're not slugs.
Guess what else. Your life is beautiful.
Is it too soon to say last season's SYTYCD was better? I don't really have a favorite this go-round.
I too love summer corn stands and sweet watermelon!
Seeing the Manti pageant once was enough to last a lifetime. Painful. painful.
I am so jealous of your sewing circle! I just found a knitting circle (my new hobby, thanks to being unemployed going on 3 1/2 months) We'll see how that goes! Maybe I could join in the fun when I am forced to move in with my Dad due to California's sinking ship! Stupid Politics! If you are looking for an alternative to SYTYCD, try Hitched or Ditched. Its on at the same time and the producers do a good job of keeping your attention. Just a suggestion. Love you- glad you're enjoying summer. I, however, am looking forward to winter! :)
