& that's the way life goes

It’s that time of year where I start making summer plans.  You know how it is, right?  The weather starts touching 60 degrees and even though I know that the poor flowers that are trying to sprout up are going to get a big heavy snowfall before we are officially out of winter, I’m making plans for my flip flop clad feet.

Let’s start with April.  Yes, I realize that it will probably still be freezing in April but humor me.  For C’s birthday we are going up north with the dogs, with the hopes of maybe finally actually looking at cottages.  We went up in April a couple years ago and got caught in an ice storm.  Obviously not flip flop weather but eh, you gotta start somewhere.

Next up is May.  At the tail end, Memorial Weekend, we are going to Chicago to celebrate my birthday.  It’s 2 weeks before the actual day but it’s cheapest then

The weekend in June, while C is gone with his friends, I plan to have a party at my house.  Who’s coming over to watch girly movies and play Wii with me?!

Shell and I are making plans to invade Oscoda in June.  Possibly even reliving our glory days by camping in a tent.  OMG, I did just say that.  We’ll see if it actually happens.  I’m kind of excited of the prospect of throwing up our old tent since it’s been 9 years since both our hands have done it together.  We were totally these girls, ah, those were the days

LP and I are planning another girls weekend up north sometime in July or August.  Hopefully this year there will be more than just the two of us.

These are just the beginnings of what will hopefully will be a warm summer.  C’mon mother nature, I’m ready!!
