Maybe it's just me, but when *I* was on summer break, I spent
as much time as possible *out* of the house with friends. I'd
fish, loiter, ride my bike...you know...all those things you don't
have time for during the school year.
These days, though...yikes. Kids just can't seem to face the
evil day star...
I kid you not. I've observed my daughter texting her best
friend in the middle of the day back and forth for over an hour.
What's the big deal, you ask? She lives on the other side of the
parking lot!!! Get up, walk the 20 yards and TALK TO YOUR FRIEND IN
PERSON!!!
So as I mentioned to the Becksters *22 days ago*, I ordered some
new glasses...now that's fast service! I eschewed my usual wire
rims for something a bit different (for me). I know what you're
thinking, somewhere between Geek Chic and Creepy Shop Teacher. Fair
enough...I'll let you decided where on that continuum they lie,
but I do love them so.
In the Not the Reaction You're Looking For department,
when I climbed into the car with Laurie, she burst out in laughter
and said I looked like Dexter. So, that was nice. I gotta figure
though...Dexter is better than Poindexter, so I'll consider it a win.
As a historical note, aren't fairs traditionally held in the
fall? You know...when the weather is pleasant and people actually
want to be outside?!? As it is, with fairs in July, the
best that can be said is that you don't actually need a vat of oil
to enjoy Fried Oreos...just set the bloody things on the ground for
a few minutes! On the plus side, diaper changes aside, the new
niece really is quite cute!
