Not Too Random-Only Slightly-Ramblings

A few days ago I was thinking, "how do people LIVE without airconditioning?....how did I?!" We have had some hot humid days this summer, lots of storms, lots of bugs. Our nasty, old, clunky airconditioner has been chugging along like The Little Engine that Could, "I think I can, I think I can..." Until I mentioned to my dad how much water was dripping from it down the electrical cord, the wall, and on our floor. He scared me enough about the potential danger that I unplugged it until I could decide what to do. The very next day, the weather let up. Cooler, tolerable temps, nice breezey, gorgeous, sunny days. Almost tricks me into thinking I could live without that clunky old thing. But I know better...I've lived enough Julys and Augusts without. Still, it has been rejuvenating to open the windows, turn off the noise, and air out this crusty old house.

Speaking of becoming one with nature...

I'm in love with Miniwanca and I'll tell it everywhere!

I admit, I have camp fever. It probably doesn't help that I sing the songs to my little ones regularly. Or that one of my nieces is attending the same camp for the first time. This is just a glimpse of the place that I was lucky enough to spend some of my childhood summers...

Would kinda like to go to this reunion, but probably won't! Hope all who do have a blast!

In other news
I am not getting any fun projects done because a.) I am really trying to exercise daily and eat nutritiously (which seems to take all of my energy...and I'm still failing at it, miserably) and b.)my house is a NASTY MESS. Undaunted, I continue to battle the bulge and the stacks!

And in more fun news
Judster is on the verge of crawling. I think he wants to stand more, but he continues to do the rock on all fours, as well as pelvic thrusts. So, I am sure he will be mobile any day. Also, after three months he is finally breaking in some new teeth. Yes, that is correct, his top-right-middle tooth is cutting through. He is taking it like a man this time, with just a little fussing and drooling. Scarlett continues to develop as well. Her latest thing is singing songs. Every once in a while she busts out some new lyrics that I was unaware she even knew. Usually, they are typical kid songs, but somehow she caught a little Bieber Fever like baby, baby, baby. And occassionally she is Janet, Miss Jackson, if you're nasty. So, basically, I am accomplishing all that other parents only dreamed possible. :)
