Too much of a good thing...My title really doesn't have anything to do with what I'm going to share, I just felt like saying it.
It is sooooo stinkin hot in here right now. That's pretty much the first thing people say when they walk in. "Wow, it's really warm in here!" I feel like one of these times I should stand up so fast that my chair gets knocked over and say with great enthusiasm, "OH MY GOODNESS!!! I never NOTICED that before!!" I think it'd be pretty funny, but they'd probably pick up on the sarcasm and be "non-pleased" with me. I guess no one would think that the two huge fridges, two moderately large freezers, along with three running computers would ever pump out warm air due to the amount of electricity they guzzle and make this room HOT. Who knew. I'm not sarcastic at all. Not a bit. We do have four fans running by the windows so that we have some circulation, but it pretty much just circulates warm air. (sigh) oh well.
So I went on a little trip the other day:) Went to New York for four days to visit Michael and hang out. It was amazing:) Honestly, not only did it do my heart a world of good to be able to see Mike again (don't get me wrong, it would do my heart a plus world of good to see my dear friends again, and you know who you are), but I also got some much needed time off and rest. There's something to be said for staying with the family of a director of an all boys camp (Deerfoot Lodge in the Adirondacks:). Chief Ron's family was so wonderful:) Here are some more plus experiences I had while staying there:
-No electricity. This means bumping around in the dark in the middle of the night looking for a flashlight that you thought you left on the desk, but apparently didn't.
-Second night there, bat enters cabin and scares life out of second to youngest little daughter (Abby). Did you know that if you knock a bat to the ground it can't take off from that area? Nice little factoyed learned there.
-Met Willow, the family's fun three legged cat. Poor thing still thinks it has it's leg, so it, (ahem) "paws" at you with it to get your attention.
-Worked in the camp office and got attacked by Michael's campers a couple of time, involving lots of chanting of my name in which I had no idea of what to do. I tried to hide, but that's hard when you're one of the few girls in an all boys camp.
-Third night, got a temperature of 102.1. Wasn't feeling so hot. Went to bed. End of story.
-Got "Mill Streamed," which means that all of the counselors surround you and your, "bou" and form a circle, dancing about and singing. Yep. Crazy:)
I really had a wonderful time, and now we only have one session left (two weeks) and then five days before I head back home for a bit. It's crazy how fast time flies. I'm really looking forward to school starting up again and moving into our crazy house (big smile), but in the mean time, I'll just hang out here, re-stock the shelves, perhaps read a bit, who knows. Later:)
