The Season

back in the day it was traveling season. now it's wedding season...

i'm speaking, of course, about the time between Mother's day and - oh - probably Halloween.
this year i only have one wedding to attend... it's one i'm keen on, though... a dear friend who's looked for a long time and finally found a love to live for. (i don't like the phrase "to die for" i think it's sort of ridiculous, really, that if you were to find something super great that you would die for it, rather than live for it... but that's just my silver lining showing, i think)

it's also "dream about traveling" season, or possibly "wish you were traveling" season. i have some mental health time scheduled for the end of the month... starting next friday and wrapping around the national holiday into wednesday. i'm back in the office on thursday that week, but since it's only for two days, i think it should be pretty cool. i'm not going anywhere... maybe a day trip road trip - - maybe to a dairy with real ice cream - maybe not - - but no real travel. it's too expensive, really...

and there's a possibility of travel at the end of june - business travel - my first ever in my life. i'm a real duck out of water... more on that as more becomes clear

i've decided to take the day before independence day for myself (and my family) as well. and september is vacation.

the wedding is end of july by the bye. i'm hoping i can get back on the wagon and lose enough weight by then to wear this (or at least something similar) to the event... time will tell.

my fingernails are growing - more than i would ever have expected they would, especially in the growing season... but i expect that has a lot to do with the copious amounts of grey sky and rain we've been been suffering lately. it's kind of put the kibosh on weeding (woo hoo) and planting (sob)... it makes work easier though.

ok - that's about it for now... i have some stuff (i.e. crap) to do
