This summer has been filled with ups and downs. Family, friends, work, and life in general have kept me quite busy. I have been enjoying the sun when it doesn't rain that is.

When I get out of work I can be found curled up on the chaise lounge with a book in hand. Reading has become a favorite pastime for me. Watching the Olympics has kept me busy in the evenings these past two weeks. Michael Phelps was awesome! Many of the events kept me glued to my seat. Gymnastics, swimming, diving and beach volleyball have been my favorites. I was elated to find that the USA won the gold for beach volleyball. I had hoped to watch it, but it was on way too late for me.

Birthdays and family get togethers have kept me busy. We have the grandkids over at least once or twice a week. When the weather permits we have a blast outside. The kids love to run around the yard and play. If it rains we go inside and bring out the building blocks. They enjoy working with the blocks. Opa can be found playing along side them!

I keep running into my people who were clients of mine when I worked as a mastectomy fitter. They tell me that they miss me terribly. I tell them that if I had the opportunity I would start my own business and specialize in mastectomy products. They all know that that would be a slim possibility and so do I. But, it is nice to know that the work I did was appreciated.

We are going to go to the beach this weekend! I do love going to the beach. Gas prices are still high, but it is worth the money for a day or two of relaxation. We are not certain if we will spend a night or come home the same day. The cost of a room is not something that we really can afford. Even one day is better than none.

The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are soon over. Enjoy them while you can. I know I will!

We have been doing alot of camping. I keep checking in here a few times a week. The kids are about to start school, so we will be getting back to a routine. It sounds like you have had a busy summer. It is always nice to know that people appreciate things you have done for them. Have you ever checked into starting a business like that?


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 46 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Starting a business is a big step. It is something that I would really enjoy doing though.

Camping is such fun! I took my kids a few times when they were younger. Now that I am older, I don't appreciate the great outdoors too much. Give me a nice cabin and I am a happy camper!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Thoroughrob (9552)   ranked 68 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

We go to a campground and camp in a camper. My son, the one that uses the wheelchair, loves to be outside. The people are so good with him.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 46 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

We would love to have a camper so when we retire we can travel. But, with the price of gas I doubt we will ever purchase one. It may be cheaper to drive ourselves and sleep in a motel.

We are hoping to get one day at the beach, now that school has started, and most people are back into Fall Mode. The weather has not really been warm enough to warm up the lakes much this summer. My hubby has another new job, and gets his schedule only about two or three weeks at a time. We do not know just when we will have matching days off. What is your hubby doing this year? I know that clients love people who will take the time to do personal and caring things for them. I wish I could wave my magic wand, and make your business happen.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 46 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Hubby is working a part-time job. Not the job of his dreams, but at least it is money coming in. He works at the Goodwill store. We try to have the same days off if at all possible. Because he works part-time he has some flexibility in his schedule.

A magic wand would be lovely. Thank you!

Happy end of the summer to you, I hope you get to enjoy the last few days. The grandkids have spent lots of time here too, its always fun having them. I have also been busy with life, and also helping my mom. Its nice seeing you again take care. Have a fun filled safe trip, even if its just one day.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 46 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I really miss everyone at MyLot when I don't go on the pc. I am glad you stopped by! The grandkids are so much fun. I am usually exhausted after spending a day with them. Big huggers to you.

Hi there! It does sound like you have been keeping quite busy this summer. I too have been watching the Olympics as it has been very interesting and glad to see most of the Americans doing well there. Phelps is phenomenal. My home has almost been fixed completely though am still waiting for my kitchen cabinets to be fixed and finding out what the insurance companies are going to do. I was in two bowling leagues which just ended as well. Work has been up and down and am hoping for a pay increase due to a job promotion. Next week my high school class is having a meeting to plan our 20 year reunion. Hard to believe that it has been 20 years since I graduated. I might be going on a date soon but will have to wait and see.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 46 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

I hope you get that raise Ken. I too am hoping for a raise. My review was last month and because of staffing issues they are behind. ~sigh~ Who knows though with the economy the way it is, I doubt there will be a raise. Wow, 20 year reunion. I did attend that one. Passed on the 30th though.

Hubby commented tonight at 7:30 on how dark it was. It is a sign that summer is on its way out. He also asked if I wanted to skip on the beach. Um, no way!

Good to hear you're enjoying your summer. I've been enjoying mine too, and have also been so busy that I haven't been on mylot much. The summer will be over much too soon, and I'm trying to make the best of it by being outside as much as possible. I've been trying to keep up with my yard and garden, cutting grass and pulling weeds. I haven't been to the beach yet, but my husband and I have been out on our bikes a few times, getting some exercise. I've also been spending a lot of time going to family and friend's parties. A couple of days ago we went to see a friend of ours compete in a demolition derby at the fairgrounds. It was the first one I ever went to, and it was so much fun, we stayed out until after midnight, and then my husband had to get up and go to work at 5 in the morning and then work a double shift. He's been working a lot of overtime, so we haven't had that much time to do much, so that night out was really nice.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 46 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Happy to hear that you got a night out! We don't venture out much in the evening. Driving at night is not our favorite thing to do. When we go out it is in the daytime. No fairs for us this year. There was one just down the road from us last week. The admission was $15 per person. My wallet is too tight for that one.

Have fun at the beach!!

I don't know where summer went. I didn't work and therefore had less hassles, but I still don't know where it went. I too had parties and anniversaries and classes and friends. Kiddo kept me busy. The last 5 years I had spent mornings working outside and since I didn't this year, I've been able to spend afternoons and evenings outside with kiddo. At 3 1/2, that's what he wants. He loves his slipper slide (slip n slide). Wat a riot! I've really enjoyed this summer with him.


myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (9602)   ranked 46 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

We thought about getting a slip and slide for the grandkids. But, decided not to get one. They do love the pool though.

It's good to hear from you. I have been super busy here lately. I got a job outside of the home back in March. It was part time but led into full time in May. So I work all day and get home about 6:00 in the evening. We eat supper, get clothes done, and get our showers and then it feels like it's time for bed. I've been trying to get on mylot a little bit each night. I was away for a little while but I was starting to miss it. So I said I will try to get on a little each night to get my fix LOL. We are going to Gatlinburg in October for a week so I'm ready for some relaxation and family time myself. Have fun on your beach trip.
