July July July why do you hate me?

Most of my July's that I can remember have been pretty uneventful, fun even I'm sure... however July 2009 has it out for me. No particular reason I'm just pretty sure it hates me, I'm lovable in a good cheerful happy go lucky mood most of the time.

Just a glimpse into my July, I've been going to Jazz now no not as much as I should but for Pete's sake give me a break it's in El Cajon and it's July!!! Anywhere east of Mission Valley is miserable this time of year now I'd like to see you all get your sports bra on (Surely I will write a blog about this at some point, because putting the thing on is a workout in itself) put your cute Jazzersize outfit on. Black workout pants = check, sports bra = check, cute pink tank top = check, socks = ugh I hate socks, and then the cute pink Nike's = check and drive yourself out to El Cajon at 5 p.m. every day and see how well you do! But I go, cursing all the way there and leave feeling far better then when I got there;)

Amy and I got Dad a kitten as a late Father's Day gift, boy oh boy did that not turn out well at all... side note anyone want a lovable precious kitten? He just couldn't take her, Amy can't, Emma said Hell to the NO and Bill said pretty much the same thing when Mom brought it up.

They changed my pay schedule at work and nearly caused me to file for bankruptcy, stupid mortgage company won't accept baked goods as payment believe me I've tried.

My dishwasher was leaking, like I got up in the morning went to get my coffee and stepped in a huge puddle of water, as in a beach towel soaked it up kind of puddle. Still don't know what's wrong with it but Dad and his handy man to the rescue.

A friend had a birthday recently so I thought I'll take her to lunch at our favorite place as in I could have it more then once a week place. I was sitting there eating my delish sandwich listening to her tell me all about the house she's buying, well I tried I don't understand I keep saying to her I really should have paid better attention when buying my condo. When I look up and see a very familiar face that I haven't seen in years, the color drained from my face because my friend asked me if I was OK... I wasn't prepared for the face I saw looking at me. It's been years, and I'd done pretty well at the not running into part until the other day. God really must have a sense of humor... I mean his sides had to have been splitting. I forgot how to speak, as close to mute as one can get without being rude. We both acknowledge it's been a long time and the awkwardness of it all, which lightened it up. Honestly, it was good to see this old face, as I've missed it... but I don't like surprises... remember that write it down I don't like surprises.

My week wasn't all traumatic and full of surprises there were some good parts... I got to see my friend Emily who kindly told me that she would like the funny happy Erica back and made my hair look beautiful while she said it.

I successfully killed a bee that managed to make it into my bathroom, swatted that bad boy with Readers Digest.

I found a cute dress that I haven't seen since last summer, tried it on and it fit!

Work let us out early today I think I heard angels sing.

I have air conditioning, and I'd like to give a shout out to the baby Jesus for it.

So there you have it kids I could go on and on about July but I've found my happy, funny, cheerful place again... so welcome the delightful Erica you know and love back because she's going to stick around for awhile... till next time:)

God is great beer is good and people are crazy!!!!
