I am typing this while I watch the kids at the pool. Yay for laptops!

I will probably spend most of the summer sitting here, so I need to go buy a few good books. It has been so long since I have read anything, I don't even know where to begin.

I don't really enjoy going in the pool myself. It would have to get darn hot to get me to soak myself in a mix of chemicals and other people's sweat.

This is what has been going on with me:

1. I got contacts last week, and it has been quite exciting to actually see. Of course, seeing the filth in my house is not so fun, but at least now I can see to clean it. I met a lot of new neighbors, too. There was a whole world going on right in front of me, and I didn't even know it.

2. My foot surgery has kind of disappointed me. Maybe I am expecting too much, too soon, but I don't like how much it still hurts. And I have this burning sensation all over my foot, that I believe is caused from some nerve damage. So, I wouldn't recommend the surgery to anyone, unless they were really hobbling.

3. I have been yearning for another dog. Half the time, I can hardly stand the ones I have, so I don't get it. I have been kind of wanting a boy dog, which is not really my style. Anyway, I will try to restrain myself, so I don't end up one of those crazy people with a hundred dogs.

4. I am not getting enough time with my nephew. I knew this would happen! I don't have a car to use during the day, so I am at the mercy of my sister bringing him to my house.

5. Tim gave up his office and is working from home. My house looks kind of like if you put a sofa right in the middle of Best Buy. It is nice to have all of the computers and gadgets, but it kind of limits my decorating choices.
