I feel so laaaaaaazy

May 29

When we left for Costa Rica, spring was raging here in Portland. When we came back, spring had turned the corner and summer had moved in. It's like there was a set change or something while we were gone. Spring was very lovely but summer? Summer effing rocks. It's upper 70s-mid 80s and sunny EVERY DAY. And you know why Portland summers kick Washington DC summers in the ass? There's not that oppressive, sticky, kick-your-sweat-glands-into-overdrive humidity. Put quite simply - this is how summer is supposed to be. And it makes me feel so, so lazy. I don't want to straighten up the house while the girls nap. I don't want to count my calories. I'd much prefer to chill on the back deck with a big glass of lemonade, my book (I'm currently reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls - intriguing and horrifying) and the entire bag of Barbara's baked white cheddar cheese puffs. Maybe an ice cream sandwich for dessert. 


Then again, I am such a freakin' fat-ass in the vacation pictures of me in my bathing suit (as well as some others that I plan to crop and Photoshop heavily), that's probably not a very good idea. Wouldn't it be great if one could burn calories while lying down and reading? I bet I'd be in supermodel form.

I haven't blogged about The Charmer in awhile so I'll give you an update. We're supposed to close on Monday, but that's not going to happen. The mortgage company is requiring a 3-year roof certification (or a new roof) before they'll sign over the money and I think I'll have that tonight. But then it'll probably still take until next Thursday to process it and have everything ready to go. In order to extend the closing, we need the Pricks to sign another addendum to push it back 10 days. And - surprise!! - they've had it since yesterday and still no signature. I suppose there's a chance that they'd blow up the deal instead of signing the extension but that just seems beyond pointless. They're not carrying a mortgage on the house or anything, so it shouldn't be a burden to own it for another week and a half. Anyway, I'm not sweating it. I'm just going with the flow. Because it's summer. And I'm lazy.

Now, if you'll excuse me - I'm going to measure out a sensible portion of cheese puffs, pour myself a big glass of water, and go outside with my book and the baby monitor.
