You Got Out of the Country, and I'm Stuck in the Continental U.S.

Summer has been chugging along, almost bearably, for some time now.
I've had enough of it, though. I'm prepared to move back to school (for my second to last time. How frightening).
I have a terrible occupation. I'm a nanny to a 4 year old terror. I used to claim that he was the spawn of Satan...I've recently changed my mind.

He IS Satan.

I'm sure of it. What rational 4 year old would lock their sitter out of the house?
Sigh.

I'm just done with it all.
Done with my job.
Done with living in my parent's house.
Done with almost all of the people in this town.

I'm more than thankful that being a radio staff member has given me the privilege to move in a week early. We'll be having a booth at the KY State Fair, the 14th through the 24th.
Come one, come all.

One of the most redeeming qualities about this summer is that fact that I've spent most of it under a pile of very good books. It's been amazing. It's the one thing I look forward to about summertime: catching up on pleasure reading. I don't have enough focus or time during the school year to read any books at all, so I pretty much devour books en mass when I have the chance.
I've just about finished the Twilight series in a week, maybe less.
And I plan on getting Atlas Shrugged done soon.
But I honestly couldn't tell you everything I've read this summer, which is a little sad. I should write them down.
The second most redeeming quality of this summer has been reconnecting with my very good friend Audry. We've been having WAY too much fun, and spending WAY too much of our nanny paychecks, and loving every bit of it.
I'll miss her when she finally gets the amazing, big girl job she deserves.
Unless of course, she finds one on Louisville, as I keep suggesting to her. ;)


Ok, before I go, I want to make a suggestion to you all out there.
So, Dippin' Dots patent must have run out, because Popsicle brand now has their own....and I'm in love. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough "dippin' dots"?!
So good.
Rush out now to your local grocery and get some...
...before I buy them all. Seriously.

Yours in Impatience, and Ice Cream Bliss,
Natalie
