Swing life away

Yesterday was one of those days that you just want to go on forever. It started out with me going to work at the canal boat. It was all hot and sticky, but the day went fast and we had some good groups on board, so it was a nice afternoon. After we closed up the boat and got changed, Matt, Angie, and I decided to walk across the Maumee River so we could get some ice cream. Why walk across the river? Because it was there. Also, we were all hot and the cool water seamed nice. We got some ice cream in Grand Rapids and sat there for a bit before we headed back. Sadly, I ended up losing the most awesome pair of sunglasses I have ever owned. Dang, those were some sweet shades. Now I am on a mission to find some that are equally as, if not more awesome, as the one pair. Anyway, we ate the marvelous ice cream and headed back across the river. On the way back Angie fell on her butt, Matt almost fell on his face, and I got a tiny piece of shell in my foot. You may be thinking "Why was this such a great day?" Well, I'll tell you why. We are all Red Cross certified in first aid, and since we don't get to use our training much, we had a good time practicing our talents on my poor foot. It was kind of a "you had to be there" afternoon, but it was a lot of fun.

I came home afterwards, got a shower, and had dinner. Since it was so nice out I decided to go out and lay in my backyard for a bit. I grabbed a couple of blankets, my CD player, and (hehe) a little bit of wine I had left. I went out to behind the garden so I wouldn't be affected by the lights on the other side of the street. I pop on my headphones and lay back to watch the stars. (side note. Joe, I can not thank you enough for my copy of "Still" by Nine Inch Nails. It is one of the best CD's ever!). So, I'm laying there sipping wine and listening to my CD while looking up at the stars. Perfect, no? It was nice to just lay there and hang out for a bit, I haven't had much down time lately. I did that for about an hour and went back inside all relaxed.

I decided to turn in early, having work in the morning and all. When I crawled into bed I had one of those "I'm so comfy I can't stop moving" moments. I'm pretty sure I fell asleep with a smile on my face. How could I not? With so few days of summer left, I plan to savor every moment I can. Fall begins on the 22nd, so I have a little more then a week to live it up and blame summer for the silliness.

Ok, seriously. This CD fucking ROCKS!
