My system of putting aside money into accounts for designated spending would be more efficient if I had money in the first place. As it is three empty envelopes don't really tip the scales.

Cait called last night to tell me hi and that she loves me. She's coming back tomorrow. My, how time flies when you sit at home in the clothes you slept in and watch movies On Demand. Not for the lack of trying, however.

m: how are you, how's your summer going?
a: pretty well
m: anything new?
a: I have developed a lisp, thus resulting in limited social engagements
a: but it's only till Tuesday.
m: really!?!
m: that's a very interesting predicament

This time next week I will be in a car with five other people, traveling with bated breath towards the tented haven that is our family vacation. Healeys included, naturally.

Dad: Do you realize that I will be spending five days in a tent with five women?
Me: Yes, I thought of that. Good luck.
Dad: That should qualify me for saint-hood.
Me: Or at least make you a finalist.
Dad: Definetely.

Meanwhile my sunburn has toned down a bit to a nice pinky-orange. Which clashes nicely with the rest of my scarily white body.

I'm hoping the sun will come out in time for the cookouts on Saturday. 1-at my house for mom and dad and their friends from work. We'll talk about politics and my aspirations for the future. 2- at Martin's as a welcome back Cait, Greg, Merry party. We'll drink teenies and laugh at everything. I'm not allowed on the trampoline anymore; it's for the best.

The funniest thing all week: "Mullen of the Serengetti"
