Wow...I'ts Been A While

Didn't realize that it's been so long since my last post, it has been a crazy week at work. Alot to do to be ready for the big summer holiday. Early ad deadlines, extra brochures, lots of new listings....and everyone thinks that there's is the only listing I have to work on...well it's not. I am so glad to be done work for the week. Long week end for me, don't go back til Tuesday...YIPPEE for me! Of course our normally sleepy little town becomes a madhouse for the week end and will be almost as bad for the rest of the summer. It took me 20 minutes to get the mail today, a trip that usually takes less then 5, not only was there traffic, but there were lines at the window. What's with that, do all these people come here for the week end just to mail letters? There won't be a place in town that you can get a table to eat either, unless you want dinner at 3:30 and even then it will be iffy and forget about the grocery store, the isles will be wall to wall people, screaming kids, mouthy teenagers, dirty campers...and they will all be socializing in the middle of the isles so that the natives, like me, won't be able to get to the milk. Since I was a slacker and didn't do my shopping by Wednesday and am too much or a wuss to brave the stores now, I may be forced to live on the crumbs in the bread box and that stuff pushed way back in the refrigerator that no one has touched for a decade. I really should know better, should have planned ahead better, but I didn't, the time just got away with me and now I MUST live with my mistake. If I'm extra nice I may be able to con hubby dear into going to the store for me....can I be that nice....I'll have to give that some serious thought. The weather is supposed to be terrific so I will be headed back to camp tomorrow afternoon and won't come into town again until it Monday evening. I hope to do some kayaking and catch some rays, maybe even read a good book. There will be extra people around, including teenagers, but I'm pretty good at blocking all that out when I want too, so I should be relaxed and rested to face the next week from hell. Well...I hope that you all have a safe and happy holiday week-end.
