The Lakehouse (and I don't mean the crappy Keanu Reeves/Sandra Bullock movie that just came out)
Ah, the Fourth of July. I just got back from celebrating this grand ol' holiday the only way it should be: with copious amounts of meat and alcohol and plenty of explosions. The boy and I went up to Maine to spend a long weekend at a lakehouse with a bunch of his college friends. It was beautiful, and we had kayaks and canoes and more fireworks than your average Midwestern town. And real civilization was about half an hour away. There were a few problems (like the four hour traffic jam we sat through in Connecticut and having to pitch a tent that the boy's roommate forgot to give us the poles to) and a few close calls (like when the harbor master stopped by while we were all drinking in canoes in the middle of the lake). But mainly, I got to spend three straight days siting on a dock in my bathing suit, drinking a beer and having someone cook me three meals a day on a grill. Mmm ... heaven. One of my new goals in life is to have my own lakehouse.
Computer, computer!
My new iMac arrived while I was gone. Score!
Countdown
Only 10 more work days until the issue from hell is done.

Sounds eerily close to mine :) Except for canoe part. We borrowed a tent from his "responsible" aunt and uncle, so no parts were missing. I would have been pissed at Noah, sort of :) Tanya
