she's baaaack...

... and talking about herself in the third person, apparently!

Hello again my friends, and my apologies for the much-longer-than-planned absence! These last couple of weeks have been crazy. But I am back now, and will be doing my best to keep on top of things again. It always amazes me how quickly the summer fills up with things to do, and then flies by before it has even really sunk in that it's here. With weddings and birthdays and cottages and bachelorette parties and a million other things I can't even think of right now, almost every single weekend is already accounted for. Straight through to September! Crazy or what. I have to remind myself that these are all fun things, with people I love, and I am going to enjoy every minute of my summer. Nevertheless, it can be a little overwhelming to think about it, so much so that one can almost start to feel as though it is already over. But, it is only just beginning and I have to savour it. Even when I am playing soccer in 35 degree humidity (my face has never resembled a tomato more than it did on Tuesday night, it was a tough game!). And even when I am getting eaten alive by blackflies at my cottage because I'm just crazy enough to go up there on the May long weekend. Because we just don't get enough summertime around here to feel anything less than utter gratitude for every last second of it.
