Hiatus...

I have been on a posting hiatus. I wish I could say that I was on some really cool sabbatical in a far away place, but that is not the case. I have just been laying low here in Maryland.

As usual, nothing has really been going on. I went out with my favorite Aunt for her birthday and had a few beers and some much needed time away from home, Bob and Sophia. No matter how much you love your husband and kids, it is healthy to get away from them once in awhile. I think that being away from them makes you realize how great they really are.

Sophia is getting ready to turn two, so we are in full birthday party planning mode. We are hoping to swim and are renting a Moon Bounce. I can't wait to play in the Moon Bounce. I have always wanted to rent one. I will let you know how it is. I think we will have to have some "Adult Bounce" time just like they have "Adult Swims" at the public swimming pools. I used to think "Adult Swims" were dumb, but now I can appreciate them.

We are having our annual party this weekend. I am hoping that the weather will stay nice. I hate getting ready and cleaning up, but I usually have fun (some times too much fun, as in the case of last years party). I promise to behave myself this year and I will absolutely not be drinking a huge bottle of French wine. I learned my lesson last year!!!

I am going to the beach again next week. Hopefully, there will be no storms coming up the coast. If they do, I will just look at it as a learning experience. As I have said before, I love the weather. If you check out www.nhc.noaa.gov, it shows current tropical storms for the Atlantic and pacific. It is pretty awesome. I look every day to see if a new storm has popped up. There are some really cool satellite images to check out.

Well I am off for now. Sorry for the long time between posts. Enjoy what is left of your summer!
