Mama's day off

Due to vacation and the approach of yet another term start (yeah, they just keep on coming), I had thought I would need to work today. Pete wanted to go to a jeep club event in the woods somewhere, so he planned to take the Lou. She's been pretty excited to go with her Daddy and have a hike and a picnic lunch. Some friends and I had also planned a girls' night in (which takes so much schedule coordination that it's sad) for tonight, so I had also planned to head up to Mo and Gardner's for the night.

Well. I do not in fact have to work today. Yay! And even though everyone else bailed, Mo and I are still having our girls' night in. So I'm home ALONE, and then heading out to meet Mo this afternoon. I'll be bearing the fixins for Beth's Amaretto Margaritas, and we'll order takeout. Fantastic. Maybe we'll even sleep in tomorrow. I don't even know what to do with myself!

Other than that, not much going on around here. Went out for ice cream last night, and then to hang out with the Littlefield-Gouds, friends in Dover with two little girls. Stayed out way too late, but it had been a while, and the kids play together pretty nicely.

I love summer, when it's like it is today. Blue sky, a few fluffy white clouds, a breeze....and it's NOT 99 degrees.

I think I'll go clean my kitchen. You are all jealous that I lead such an exciting life, admit it.
