I am embracing my last week of summer in a major way.
Today I am killing time waiting to leave for North Carolina since the friend I'm staying with there arrives from somewhere out of the country tonight and since the Baxters are living their lives today (What? People have normal lives?).
A mini road trip away is a quaint little place called Peddler's Village, which is filled with shops filled with completely unnecessary items. I poked around, sneaking in and out of the air conditioning when the heat became too oppresive and the sun too blinding (because today is a true day of summer). I found a few fun gifts for people that I think they will like and so therefore I am happy. I was also happy to find the Town Crier Bakery, and happy with my elephant ear because I love elephant ears. (Happy happy...)
Tonight I will spend a final evening with the Baxters. Perhaps something like this will happen at dinner, as it did last night:
Simon, politely interjecting into the adult conversation
with absolute seriousness:
"Um, guys? I think there's something wrong here. [slight dramatic pause] Mom has a drink, Dad has a drink, Lauren has a drink--and I have NO DRINK!"
