P County Wanderings

I love summer. The way the air smells, the unexpected thunderstorms, the drives into God's country with the windows down and the radio blaring. Having said that, sometimes being a grownup can interfere with the freedom we associate with the hotter months. Even when kids are home for the summer with three month's of empty canvas rolling out in front of them there are still 40 hours of responsibility to fulfill every week. I have to say though that the last two days felt so frivolous and free. It was so much fun to just ride in a car with no destination in mind, to see the sparkle through trees as the sun reflected off of the water. It's never the big moments that define us as people I think. It's a million little memories strung together that we look back on and smile at when we're older. Everyone deserves a little peace, and I am ever so happy for mine.

10 Inventors Killed By Their Own Inventions

Superglued to the couch

So I had no great higher purpose in creating this blog. I wish that i could say that it was for the purpose of eradicating hunger forever, or creating world peace, or even something as simple as getting the world together to break the Guinness Book of World Records record for largest twine ball. Sadly, this is not the case. Mostly, I am just looking for an outlet. I am not the world's most interesting person, you will get no weekly updates on my vacation to Cairo or the most recent Maserati I added to my collection. Nope, all you can really expect from me (and anonymous person I do apologize in advance) is me just being alive. Simple things make me happy, things like the fact that even though it is as hot as any of the rings of Dante's inferno, I can sit outside at dusk and watch the fireflies brighten the night. Even a full tank of gas can make me smile...I am sadly the lady that waits until her car is screaming at her with the orange low fuel light before gas goes in. AAA is the best thing since sliced bread. Seriously. Best 80 bucks I ever spent. They even towed my totaled car into the car graveyard for free. Service with a smile! I also have No attention span and have been known to change conversation topics 15 times in 20 minutes. It is my blessing, it is my curse. I have run out of things to ramble about for at least an hour.
