Summertime Life

Yeah. Well, life has been shooting by at about a million miles per hour. So what else is new, right?

Let's see if I can catch y'all up.

• We spent the majority of last week traveling to see my father-in-law in Nevada. Who knows if this will be the last time we see him. I'm glad we got to spend quality time with him, though. The Husband drove his motorcycle up and I followed later in the day with the truck and a trailer for the trip back down. Good thing we did. Several small wildfires were burning after lightening strikes on our way home. Would not have been fun to breathe in all that smoke.
• The new pairs of jeans I purchased two weeks ago? One of them is already sliding off my ass. I should have gotten the size 14 instead of the 16. Who knew? The cacklings of glee you're hearing is from me, by the way.
• Thing One and Thing Two are proving to us that they can actually be alone together without killing each other. This is astounding. And hooray for not having to pay for babysitting anymore! Whoo-hooo!
• On said trip to Nevada, all four of us dyed our hair. I am now in possession of ebony tresses tinged with blue, Thing One is washed with nutmeg and paprika, Thing Two is raven-haired, and The Husband first bleached the hell out of everything but eventually settled for light brunette with blonde highlights. Nothing like giving the elderly parents a shock when you come for breakfast one morning, eh? Hee!
• And saving the best for last. The scale this morning? 199. Hot damn!
