Summer's Almost Gone....

I can feel it in the air. It was quite crisp and chilly this morning, definitely too cold for flip-flops. But I already had them on, and didn't feel like running back in to change. My summer has been lovely, and I would say it was the funnest I ever had, if "funnest" was a word. And it ends with our block party, I guess. Next week is our block-party, and I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, I love the fact that there's no cars parked on the street and my kiddie can ride her bike and run around as she pleases. That was the best part of having a block-party, I remember being a kid and loving the fact that I can go run around/bike-ride/skate on the street with my friends. It's a little different now though, in that everyone sets up little tents and tables & their grill on the street in front of their houses. So, my kiddie can't really ride your bike freely once it starts getting past noon.

Once it gets later, I dunno it gets kinda boring. I find myself just sitting there or helping my mom. The thing I hate about the block-party is the beer and the music. Everyone just seems to love get tore-up on beer, and it really disgusts me. I hope Family Dude doesn't get tore-up this year, it'll be boring without his sober company. And the music.....ugh. I dunno I just can't get into that crap. Some songs are nice and dancing to them isn't too bad....but the vast majority are crap. I mean it's the same rhythm, same beat, over and over again. If there were no lyrics, you couldn't really tell the difference between songs. I wish the musicians were more talented at composing songs on their instruments. But, I guess I'll have to deal with the marching-band/circus/pep-rally music this weekend.

One thing is for sure, seeing everyone together will make me miss Adam even more so. I really loved having him around my family, and I didn't feel wierd about it, and I didn't get vibes that he was uncomfortable or anything. It just felt right. As right as I felt around his family, I loved spending time with them and I hope I can get more time to get to know them better.

And so, this coming weekend is the last free weekend before I start school again. I'm excited, still gotta buy my books though. And my kiddie will start school also and she's got all her supplies, so off we go again. I still have to figure out what I have to get FD for his birthday though, I have no idea what to get him other than the cake I'm supposed to bake him.
