i am beginning to see that summer fun in our world can be measured in the number of towels i wash. yesterday i think i washed 837 of them. seriously.

we have pool towels, lake towels, trampoline towels, workout towels, shower towels, dog towels, feet towels, sit-on-the-car-seat-with-wet-butt towels. if you go to the back of our house, you will see towels hanging to dry across the deck during the sunny afternoons. a boat came by the other day and the lady said "birthday party?" i said "nope. just another day at my house."

anyway...beyond that i do have a few things to tell you:

*i ran the explorer out of gas yesterday, thinking i could just make it to the gas station on my way to workout class. i didn't. i did have to run all the way home again, listening to the voice inside my head making fun of me. sigh.

*speaking of running, i entered a 5K on friday night at the last minute, literally. had my best time ever so maybe last minute is the way to go. i did want to puke at one point though. still not sure why running appeals to me. it's a mystery.

*the boys can't remember what day it is. one of them thought it was thursday, the other one had no clue. that, my friends, is the sign of a good summer.

*i recently gave up mountain dew (again) and replaced it with rock star. plenty of caffeine but no sugar or calories. discussion?

*the boys asked for pancakes for breakfast and it is now 10:53. i guess we are having pancakes for lunch. if i make enough of them, maybe we can have pancakes for dinner :)

*i seriously hate cooking. have i ever mentioned that?
