Over the last week and a half, I haven’t posted because I have not had anything truly groundbreaking or specifically significant to post about. I returned from Orlando on Wednesday evening, and had some girl time with Lisa before she left for Houston for the summer. Thursday and Friday both, I went to my parent’s house for dinner, and after dinner Friday, I went over to Ken’s place to celebrate his birthday with him. He had a bunch of other people there too, mostly classmates from law school, and after hanging out for a while, we decided to go out. We decided on a gay bar. It was my first time going, and I was really excited. I got there, and it was like a really bad tech party. ALL guys. There were about 10 girls in the whole place, and hundreds of men. I guess it’s a good thing, a bit of eye candy, but unfortunately, it’s really hard for a girl to get a drink at the bar =)
During the weekend, my mom came over Saturday for the battle of the century – Us versus my yard. I had bamboo growing and spreading like wildfire all over my back yard. We spent about 4 hours in the grueling heat trying to take it down. We cut, chopped, snipped, sprayed, and eventually, it looked like we’d made some progress. Not enough to plant the new flowers though. That would have to be taken care of another day. That night, Leah W. was in town, and we hung out for a while and caught up. It’s always nice to see her, and it sucks that she lives so far. At least her family lives here, and so she has some incentive besides me to come and visit =)
Over the rest of the long weekend I went to a couple BBQs, swam in a few pools, hit Piedmont Park for the Jazz festival, and cooked a great lunch for Jess and Jordan since they too, were in town this weekend! Having the day off was nice, but that one day is always such a tease. At least the week is shorter. Meanwhile, school is out for the summer, and so I don’t have the battle against the school busses in the morning anymore for a while. That’s a nice change.
Mom’s coming back over tonight to attempt round two on my yard. We’ll see how it goes.By the way, Thank you all you servicepeople for all you do. It goes appreciated, even if we don't say it, though we should. Thank you for allowing us to have the blessings we do every day.

When I start my new job back there in Atlanta, the disappearance of the school buses (yes, busses looks correct but buses is strangely the more common plural of "bus") will not really make any difference to me, because I will no longer be going to work then!! Yippee!
