\"\"<\/a>This creature flew into the house the other evening much to Tabs horror. She screamed it was a giant bee. It was giant alright, approx 1.5′ long and 1″ wide. Its belly was rather fuzzy like midnight-black velvet. It flew confidently around like a bee does. What is it? Looks like a house<\/span> fly but ten times larger.<\/p>\n

Took the girls thrift store gazing yesterday. So fun! We purchased tons of books–I found a 1947 Nancy Drew to add to my growing collection. Tabs found a dozen Fairy books that she loves. I also purchase a mint, solid maple side table from the 1950’s. And I found a 1950’s Canadian blown glass vase–they sell for thousands in Vancouver and I found one for $10!\u00a0<\/div>\n
I’ve been hanging out at the lake everyday. The water is like warm silk on the skin. It is so hot here–approx 40 oC<\/span>.\u00a0<\/div>\n
I finished my paper–woot<\/span>–woot<\/span>! I’m going to get Peter to proof<\/span>\u00a0it right away and send it off within minutes. To celebrate I am going to eat takeout, see a show and perhaps a coffee shop date ( I am an easy woman to please—buy me an iced Americano<\/span> or unsweetened iced-tea in a hip coffee shop and I am happy.<\/div>\n
\u00a0I am on a new workout schedule. It requires more time doing hard core workouts but less of them. I did a super long run (for me) yesterday at 6 AM but it was already too hot and I was boiling over as I ran. Today I did an early morning hike around the back of the mountain (ran into far too man older gentlemen coming from the bush–I think some of them live in there over the summer–creepy) and tomorrow it is spin class and weight lifting<\/span> back to back. Oh, the joys of reworking my schedule.<\/div>\n
Oh, and best news yet–I can read! I can read! Finally finished<\/span> classes for the summer and now I can pick up a book that I want to read for pure pleasure. So nice…reading one my Momma dropped off by Irene Nemirovsky<\/span>, “Fire in the Blood.” I loved her “Suite Francaise<\/span>“.\u00a0<\/div>\n
Gotta go e-mail in my paper…<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
