Rain, Rain, Go Away...

It's been a pretty rainy summer so far. It's raining as I write this. Yuck.

It's sunny every once in a while, though. I've found time to sit by the pool during the four hour break from work. I've also made it to a couple of dance parties and karaoke nights with the guests.

With some of the girls before DP. (Laura creeping over my shoulder, me, Jeanine, Julia)

This morning I ran in the Run for Empowerment. I happened to run into my boss, Gen, while writing her a note for work yesterday and she told me about it. She and two other girls from TP were also there. It was a fun out and back 5k/10k race (I did the 5k with my mom, my friends Michelle and Alexis did the 10) that started at the Echo Center in Burlington. It was for Women Helping Battered Women, which was quite obviously a worthy cause. The finish had just about THE BEST food spread I've ever seen. I'm kicking myself now because I can't remember the name of the bakery (Great Harvest Bread Co.?? Hmm...) that provided the baklava, apple strudels, spinach and cheese spinner pastry things, etc., but I can tell you right now that it was DELICIOUS. After some awards (yay, I won cookies!) and a great raffle in which my mom, who never wins raffles, was the first to be called and picked out a gorgeous $100 pendant, my mom and I headed up to the mall for a little shopping at our all-time favorite store, Ann Taylor Loft. Is it disgusting that we used up our 2 hours free parking in one store? Oops! It was a successful trip though!

It's been a busy, busy week work-wise, but a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to being with the pre-teens this week. Bowling in St. Albans Tuesday!! At the end of this week we will be 1/3 the way through the season at TP. AHH! AND I'm not even around for the last few weeks because of school. So I'm AT LEAST 1/3 done summer. Scary, scary thought. I'll be enjoying every last second of my last 2/3rds!
