Summer Camp or Bust!

Ok, ok, ok...its been a long time since I have blogged. I really don't feel all that bad because there are only three people that read this blog so really, who cares? And so you three, I dedicate my lunch break to you...

Life has been BUSY! Not only have I been working, I have also been doing some charity work on the weekends, both parents have had birthdays, and then there has just been a whole lot of life stuff...hair do's, puggles, dentists, groceries, house troubles, dinner parties...etc. That being said...things have been going really well. I just want a little breather! I am really looking forward to the beach for 4th of July! I am not looking forward to more frequent bathing suit wear. That is neither here nor there.

I've been thinking a lot about childhood or simply being a child. I think that there should be a summer camp for adults. I was riding my "new to me" bike last weekend with my dad and I was talking about how much I miss summer camp. I am not really athletic so all of the physical things I don't care about. (I didn't even attempt to ride a horse until I was 17). I could really use a week of someone dropping me off somewhere with structured activities and preplanned menus and just allowing me to have at it! What a mental break that would be! I don't have to worry about paying for things or getting anywhere, I could eat some snack, I could do a little arts and crafts, maybe go for free swim, tool around on a canoe, eat food someone else has made and unplug from the world. Sign me up! Need to get in touch with me? Write a letter! Yeah!

It sounds fun...right? I believe that I am just having a hard time adjusting to complete adult life. This is my first summer as a working adult, completely self sufficient and it is a major adjustment. While I am sitting at a desk crafting an email my friends that are still in school or the mass of friends that are unemployed/underemployed are tweeting about the pool and Braves games at 1:00pm. Ugh...unfair. I had my time though. Summer time just makes me wish I had taken my sweet time getting through school. Hah!

Ok, unrelated tangent...Mumford and Sons are my jam right now!
