I won't bore you with the details, but it was a much needed break from my computer. I will be back here, just not daily, probably more like weekly. I think that was part of my problem- I was running out of stuff to write about and it was all sounding like a repeat from the day before. Lots of stuff has Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15599269148474404318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797275828694321578.post-68638085586716927512010-07-16T07:49:00.003-05:002010-07-16T08:04:38.611-05:00Up ToI thought for sure that after the graduation open house party and the fourth of July, that things would start to slow down around here...... boy was I wrong !I've been busy studying and PASSING my motorcycle permit test.

At first I just rode it around my yard. Barry said to practice in the grass first so if I fell I might not get hurt so much. So, that's what I did..... I put an entire mile on it just riding around my yard and my yard is not that big. I looked like a fool riding it with my helmet on in the grass, but I Terrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15599269148474404318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797275828694321578.post-91338806240051931692010-07-07T08:52:00.002-05:002010-07-07T09:17:39.300-05:00Meet ScarletMeet Scarlet- She was a early ( by 2 months) 40th birthday present from Barry. We picked her up yesterday.I've been wanting a scooter for sometime now, to do quick trips to the grocery store, etc. and I guess my 40th birthday was a good excuse to break down and buy me one.

I've entered photo contest before, but those have been online. This will be the first time I've entered them locally and it scares the crap out of me. Picking which photos to enter was painstakingly hard. The ones I really wanted to enter didn't fall into the contests categories.

She has these parties once a month. I debated a long time about going or not. Seeing that my 20 year reunion didn't go all that well, I wasn't sure if I wanted to put myself through that again. Since the party invites were sent via Facebook I clicked Maybe attending and left it at that.
