1. I can't believe it's July already! I feel like I literally missed the month of June because of our long trip. It was a great vacation, but really did a number on me time-warp wise. In other news, I love this photo calendar I made through Costco.com, turning the page each month is fun.
2. I discovered a new and fabulous treat this week (because I really needed another treat in my life, seriously at some point the word "treat" loses its meaning right). I usually take my pebble ice straight up, but this week made Tang for the first time in years (or possibly ever) and poured it over the ice. It made for a most delicious, chilly delight. The only problem is that I drink/chew/snarf it so quickly that it's bordering on obsession and causes my bladder to fill at an abnormally fast rate.
3. Can you see something less-than-charming in the back, left corner of this photo? Ah yes, it's 5 pounds of horse crap right in front of our house! Fortunately I did NOT see it come to be (if you know what I mean), but I'm scandalized none-the-less. That is a huge load of crap is it not? Shouldn't the rider have come back later with a shovel and a bucket to remove this? How is it going to go away?? It's so big that every time I go outside my eyes immediately target it. Gross!
4. Whitney and I went to see Ice Age 3 in 3D yesterday while Landon was at Lucas' house for the day. It was a double kick in the crotch as the tickets cost $2 more each because it's in 3D (I did NOT know this before getting there) and then because the movie was pretty lame (3D is kind of annoying). Whitney liked it, but I actually dozed multiple times (of course, I hadn't slept the night before, but still).
5. We had a crazy rain storm the other day that produces sheets of blowing rain. That's so rare for Utah in July! I'm enjoying the cooler temperatures and greener mountains and lawns (we haven't even been watering ours), but it's truly weird.

a drive by crapping, shame.
Hope the rain came after the horse deposit and therefore took care of the offense. Probably not though, right?
I've never made a calendar, though I've meant to.
I didn't know 3D movies cost more--thanks for the heads up. We're planning to see UP but most likely not the 3D version. I'd snooze through Ice Age too.
Rebekah's comment is cracking me up as is this whole "deposit" terminology.
I had no idea they charged extra for 3D movies. We have not been to a single movie at the theater all summer since I am really trying to cut back while we save for IVF. Other than missing out on "Up" - which we can always see on dvd later - I don't think the kids have noticed. Kim is the one who usually takes them to movies anyhow so she has probably missed it more than them.
Hope you don't get any more deposits.
Hey I know what you can do with that load of ...you can actually go and scoop it up...and put it in your flower area....that way they get fertilized and it is put to good use how is that? I could even do the favor for you too bad I am 700 miles away! I love love love love the last photo. iT is sooo nice nice nice and I can't believe when i go there we briefly sit on those chairs. Next time I will make it a point to sit for awhile. Oh well. I don't like tang...I think we had it more than a good share. The only calendar I have home made is one that Alf gave me, with pictures of me...before we were married....pretty cool. I like 3d movies but I don't know that I like the feel of the glasses...I hear hollywood is going to be making more of these...I don't think they will be a success......... I love love love the rain, I think i LOVE it from my mum, she loves the thunder and lightning...and I got sad when Farrah Fawcett said that she hoped she could see it rain in heaven...she loved it soo much, and since she reminds me soo much of my mum, it has a different meaning now the rain for me. (well I hated the rain while at the University remember with that leaking basement that I had to tend to....that was not good).
I have all intentions of making myh own calendars but never get around to it.
I LOVE Tang!!!!
I think I'm ok with the horse deposit. I've seen alot worse.
I hate 3D. It gives me a headache.
We've had rain for 26 of the past 33 days. I'm pretty much over the rain thing at this point and I just heard thunder again a few minutes ago. Last night I thought the lightning had hit my sister's house next door. Must have been pretty close.
I haven't made a calendar in forever, I just print one off each month and fill it with all the crap we gotta do.
I love crunchy ice with orange juice- not sure about Tang.
You live by a ton of horses, so I wouldn't be offended. If you didn't, I think it would stand out more.
I loved that burst of rain we got! I love how fast it cools things off!
I enjoy the occasional 3D movie- UP was totally worth the 3D experience, I paid to see it twice! I am so not interested in seeing that Ice Age one though :)
I went to a late night showing of Bolt in 3D for a date last fall and actually dozed off. I didn't think that the 3D made much of a difference, and ended up giving me a headache. At least I wasn't the one who paid for it!
We've been having a ton of rain here, and I love it. I can handle the heat in the morning when I can plan on an afternoon shower.
Good luck with getting back on track with your summer!
I LOVE TANG! Although with my pregnancy it gives me MAJOR heartburn since it is soooooo surgary!
Too bad the rain didn't come after the horse poop or maybe it would have washed it away! I can't stand it when people with dogs don't pick up after them-but a HORSE...of course you have to come back for it. Its not like you can carry a baggie in your pocket-so you must come back with it...it is RUDE!
I don't like 3D-I don't like to wear my glasses so to have something on my face for 2 hours...no thank you!
Oh....and try homemadeTang Popsicles!!! YUM! That reminders me of childhood! Or just stick the juice in ice cube trays with little toothpicks.
Huh. I haven't had Tang in so many years, I can't even remember! I think I might like it, though. I love to drink Crystal Light over ice (pomegranate/cherry or ruby red grapefruit).
I would totally be scandalized by the horse manure.
I don't think 3D movies are worth it, don't want to wear the glasses, don't want to pay extra, and would definitely sleep through Ice Age.
I LOVE all the rain! But I don't love that I feel like June passed me by...
So glad you have given all mothers out there a heads up on Ice Age. I won't spend the money to see it in the theater now. I am not fond of
3D movies. They sort of drive my eyes nuts.
Love all the refreshing rain.
Really love Tang, but have not had it in years.
drive by crapping!!! terrifically terrible... but you know, i like the smell of horse crap (actually, i LOVE smelling cow manure- true confessions...), so i'd likely not be bothered!
We used to drink tang when I was little, but I don't really remember what it is like. I haven't even heard that word for year! :)
The pebble ice looks amazing!
I am jealous of the rain storm. I love a summer rain because it makes everything feel so clean and fresh after.
And I LOVE those two white chairs on your lawn under that tree. Very inviting.
Just the fact that you had horse poo in front of your house means that horses actually went by! That sounds very picturesque...do you live near a farm?
Did the rain wash it away?
I haven't had Tang in ages but I can imagine it being a refreshing change to water...
I'm so bummed that there aren't any Sonics around to buy that pebble ice...you always make it look so good!
DOesn't horse poop fall into the same category as dog poop? Owners should carry something to scoop it as they go--besides, horse poop is so much more offensive.
I was wondering where you got that calendar- it is darling! Love the layout of it.
Don't like 3D movies or insensitive animal owners.
Love Tang and rain.
Love, love, love Tang!
Ew.
