It's been about a week since I posted an entry here and I thought it would be nice to let anyone that was following me know that I'm still alive and here ^_^
It's been a typical Summer with the weather and such. So, if you're curious about my weather, lookup a few of last year's posts lol ^_^
Grrr! Tom and Jack want to go for a walk now. Or in my case, a drag. LOL ^_^ I'll try to pop back here later and add some more content.

Summer fun ^_^
It's been raining on and off all week. I was caught outside a couple of times by the rain. The worse was Sunday afternoon while I was attempting to mow the lawn. I just finished the front when it started pouring. I was able to do a little bit more before I gave up. The mower was choking on the wet grass and stalling every couple of meters. I was soaked to the skin and then some. It was as though I had jumped in a pond then went straight in the house. And, being Summer, the a/c (air conditioner) was on and I almost froze to death o.o
Volunteering at Art Camp is fun. A lot of the kids are there just to have fun. They're the ones you have to watch to keep out of mischief. A few kids are there to learn and improve. Don't get me wrong, almost all the kids want to learn cool art stuff. But these few are serious. And these few have attached themselves to me ^_^
I've grown jaded with regards to my tech toys. I used to have my Android phone loaded to the hilt with apps and I was almost on it 24/7. Now, I'm down to the basics on apps and use it mostly for txting with my friends and such. I do have a few utility apps, but nothing like before. The same thing with my iPad. I don't have as much on it anymore nor do I use it as much. I do go in cycles though. So maybe in the future I will rediscover my tech toys.
Yvonne's birthday was Friday. It was awesome ^_^ Happy Birthday again! Love you lots <3 ^_^ Anyway, she can get her restricted license in about six months around the same time that I do. Kyle got his while I was in the Everglades. Soon all of us will be driving and that's kind of sad since it means there's no reason for us to hang together as a pack. o.o

Summer begins
From this point on, I'm going to post less frequently than I have before. But, my posts are going to be an accumulation of the smaller, daily posts. So, instead of the one or two sentences every day, there will be at least one long post covering the time between posts. This is one of those posts. But, if I have something that I just have to write about, I will write and post it also ^_^
The local art center is doing its Art Summer Camp this month and I've volunteered to help out. It started last week while I was at camp. But it still runs for another three weeks. Helping out with the kids is one of the many things I enjoy during the Summer ^_^
Most of my friends have summer jobs. Even I have a job. I work with mom doing odds and ends and some PHP coding and such. She also lets me do some of the art work ^_^
Summer weather patterns are here. In Spring, early Summer, the clouds start building in the late afternoon and if they produce rain, it's in the evenings. They then dissipate. As the Summer moves on, the clouds start building earlier and earlier and lasting longer. Soon they last until the morning. Eventually, they last long enough to meet the afternoon clouds which start earlier. From that point on for awhile, it's usually cloudy and drizzly all day. Tuesday was a downpour day. It started out cloudy and got worse. But, by the late afternoon, the rain was over and the sun was out.
Sadly, there was no dance class Tuesday night. Our instructor never did find anyone to take over the class. We kind of disbanded which makes me sad. I really enjoyed the class and I doubt that I will find another one soon.

Summer Holiday!!!
Yes! Today is the first day of Summer holiday! Today is play because tomorrow is packing for camp. First, I'll be doing the traditional farmers' market-breakfast-beach thing with mom in a little bit. Afterwards, after removing the salt and sand from myself :P I'm going to meet up with Lee and mall-rat ^_^ Much later, we'll probably do the drum circle at the beach if it doesn't rain. Need to go, Mom's calling and Sasha is demanding both of my hands to be used to pet her >.< LOL ^_^

Summer's here!
We had our first torrential downpour yesterday afternoon. There might have even been hail in it O.O We got so much rain, that the drain system couldn't carry it away fast enough and a lot of the roads were flooded for hours. Heck, there were times that I couldn't even see my backyard O.O Today, it did rain around 1pm but not has hard or as long. In fact, it's still sprinkling on and off now.
