Summer

I just wanted to say I love summer, lazy, long, delicious summer. I’m enjoying every minute of this one. I know, it’s not even summer yet!

At this particular moment, I’m the only one in our gorgeous beachy Bay St. Louis house for at least another 24 hours if I so wish. Today in my swimsuit and a sun dress, I rode my dad’s rusty bike (with milk crate tied to the back) to return a Faulkner compendium to the library trailer and request on inter-library loan “Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant.”

Vodka, the true essence of life

So, who knew vodka had so many uses, such as relieving fevers, eradicating swimmer’s ear or helping jellyfish sting? See also: shower cleaner. And, if you think about it, some cleaners are right around $10 a bottle. If vodka works better, you could get a cheap $6 bottle, dilute a bit and go at it!

Speaking of swimmer’s ear – went horseback riding yesterday, which reminds me of Girl Scout camp. It was much fun. We rode 10-11 miles? My butt hurts since I had to go in tennis shoes and I couldn’t stand up like a real cowgirl. But, of course, work never ends. It was horseback riding with a purpose: journalism. I’m such a journo-tourist.

Speaking of summer camp – I’m done with three classes (Poetry, Fiction and Racquetball), so I have one test, one paper, two written exams and one story due until … SUMMER! I really like thinking about Knoxville, a Texas road trip in August and … Angers!

I might just bake a pie this weekend.
