Finished! (And Other News from the Lo Report)

So, as many of you now know, I have finished all my projects! Hooray! :) This means I have more time for fun and, heaven forbid, cleaning. If any of you are bored, you should come join me for drinks and/or walks and/or movies and/or travel and/or books and/or tea.

In other news, last weekend the boyfriend and I took a trip up north to see my folks (who he met when they were in town at the end of May). It was fine, but it was excessively hot (passing the 100 mark on Saturday), so my plans for our entertainment were somewhat thwarted. Also, we were both exhausted and thus not on our A games. We did play some Pit, and that was a good time. (For the record, we have the original version, which is infinitely better because it's the version I've always played.) We also spent some time relaxing on the deck and meeting Kimmy and the grandmas (who were both not feeling so well). On the whole, it was probably not the most fun for the poor boy, but he was a good sport about it. And we did get to try out my new iRiver radio transmitter thing so that we could listen to our MP3 players over the car stereo. Oh, it's high tech, and you know you're jealous. Plus, I got mine for $10 on Woot. Also, there was some sweet grilling action, featuring yummy steak.

On the 4th, there was a great bash at Danika and Lindsey's place, which was a good time. There were giant sparklers, which was also pretty cool. I did hear my first "Down with the British"-esque comment ever uttered at a July 4th celebration. Thom's girlfriend is British and was concerned that we would be burning the British in effigy, so of course, she needed to be teased about it. :) It was pretty funny. The boy and I had to leave pretty early because I had to work at 7 the next day. We saw the Taste fireworks from the road, though, and found a good spot to watch them next year, so all went well.

I am still regrouping after the hell that was June, but I think I am doing better. I find I just kind of want to sit around, so I am letting myself feel that way this week.

I meet the boy's mom this weekend, and I am nervous. Yikes!

Also, I have finally gotten rid of the headache that I'd had since June 29th. This morning, I woke up, and it was gone, so that was nice.

And that, my friends, is all the news that's fit to print. Feel free to share your summer/July 4th/weekend recaps in the comments.
