"I love those moments. I like to wave at them as they pass by"

You know those times when you have the perfect opportunity to say something witty, but can't because you're utterly incapable of thinking quickly on your feet?  You also know those times when you think of said-witty-comment, after the conversation's over, but still feel the need to say it anyways?  So you tell someone (who wasn't involved in the aforementioned conversation) about it, only to realize that it in doing so, it completely defeats the purpose?  Yeah.  I do that all the time. 

Lol.

Hi Summer! Bye Summer!...wait...it's only July?...oh

Well, unintentionally (mostly) it's been almost a month (possibly longer) since I've been on here.  Oh well.  In my defense, this summer has been hectic, particularly this past month.  June 2-12, Jon and I flew to MD to surprise my brother for his high school graduation and my youngest sister for her 15th birthday.  We were quite surprised upon our arrival to see that that they were ACTUALLY surprised by our surprise.  There were several times when our cover of "not being able to come" was almost blown, but fortunately for Jon and I, my siblings apparently are dense. Operation Surprise-Trent-and-Natalie was a rousing success.  Go figure.

From thence onward, I've been busy playing catch-up with work, due to aforementioned MD vacation.  The nice thing about being so busy is that by the time 2:30PM roles around (which is when I get off) I'm usually surprised at how quickly it got there.  I do enjoy staying busy, but I'm also looking forward to when it'll slow down a bit.  I'll have to wait till September/October - though that's largely contingent upon the weather...and OK weather has had a knack for surprising me.  It'll probably be December if I'm being honest. =)

In other news, Jon and I were thinking about moving to a renovated house in our little neighborhood, but we both decided that for the fairly substantial increase in rent (compared to what we pay now, which is really good), it wasn't worth the hassle.  We'd mostly be upgrading in aesthetics and decreasing in functionality.  Where we live now, it's the opposite, but thankfully at least one of those aforementioned qualities can be addressed in our current location.  Here's to saving money!  Woohoo!

Well, that's all for now.  I've got another blog in the works - different in nature from this and will probably garner more feedback (which will be greatly appreciated).  I figured though, that I'd at least give an update on the goings on here.  As my father would say: I'm alive and well my avid followers - fear not! (I am my father's daughter).

Peace!
