You've read about the pool before... that I got stuck inside it while we assembled it.
However, there is a new development.
I'm beginning to wonder if I am the butt of some cosmic joke... if the pool gods are truly against me.
This has been a storm-filled summer here in NH. We've had countless rainy days, varying from short little showers, to severe thunderstorms that wreak havoc.
And these storms have ALL been at times that I've wanted to get in the pool!
During the work week I try and get outside at every break and lunch, just to see the sun, and remember that there is more to life than what happens inside those big walls. And when I go out, it's so hot and sunny, that I spend the rest of the day, back at my desk, thinking about going home and getting in the pool.
For the last few weeks, almost without fail, by the time I get home it's either already raining, severely cooled down, or threatening to rain.
Today was very hot and very sunny. I went to my river spot after church, and got so hot there that I came home to get in the pool. Chatted with Jill for a bit, and changed into my swimsuit. By the time I got into the pool, the grey clouds had completely obliterated the sun, and there was a pretty steady (read: very chilly) breeze.
I quit!

Diary of a Me
Inspired by the loquacious and bullety format of her cousin, our blogging heroine will now regale with what's been going on in her life since her post l-o-n-g ago....
Buckle seat belts, and... GO!
Sunday, last - Flew home from trip-of-a-lifetime with four of my nearest and dearest. Was so happy to be home that I giggled while crawling into bed that night.
Monday - Slept in, and then got a new car.
(Oh, do you want more details? It's true! I will no longer be writing posts about windows unzipping on the highway, rain pouring in, or how much fun it really was to drive with the top down on the way to the ocean. I will now be writing posts about having a reliable four dour with a hard top that I can actually take through a car wash! For those of you who know or care about car-ness, it's a '00 Pontiac Sunfire that had only 69,000 miles. Yay Paul! PS - it's gold)
Tuesday - Woke up feeling as if I'd been tossed against a wall repeatedly. Jetlag is an amazing thing. Slogged around for most of the day, then took a friend out for dinner.
Wednesday - Went back to work, and my email box was full, full, full! Sorted through that, chatted up my peeps, and got not much else done.
Thursday & Friday - See Wednesday... only add in a couple meetings, a little more productivity and a little less fullness of the email box
Saturday - Went to Panera with Evan and the kids, and the beach with Amy.
Sunday - Church, phone call that makes me smile every time I think about it, and Martina McBride concert (yup, it was amazing!)
Monday - Went back to work, along with a skeleton crew. This week is the week to be on vacation, boy howdy. Guess I jumped the gun by being out last week.
Tuesday - Worked a full day, and was interrupted by people going my desk on their way to start the holiday early, whispering, "Just leave early... I wont tell." Clung on by my fingernails until 4:15, when I leapt from my chair and flew to my car. Went to an amazing fireworks show in Portsmouth with Amy, and my face is still hurting from smiling so much. They were STUNNING!
Now, you have been updated on the events of my life, and I no longer have guilt.
PS - Happy 4th!
