Snakes, why'd it have to be snakes?*.

I've been gone for a while.  I think I'm just losing the flare for blogging.  I'm sure after this kind of break I don't really have a lot of people actually reading.  Doesn't help that Google got read of the blog reader thing.  That sucks for me, I lived by that list.  It would remove the ones I've read so I could make sure to get them all in.  I'm using BlogLovin to keep track, but if anyone knows of something better, please let me know.

Anyway - life has been crazy busy.  I'm pretty much in a perpetual state of exhaustion.  I recently got back in to racquetball...I can't REALLY say I've gotten back in to it because that would imply I knew what I was doing the first time.  But I'm learning the rules and such.  What I'm really after is the enclosed room where I hit a ball with a racquet as hard as I can and then duck if it gets too dangerous.  It's a great way to get your frustration out.

I got another speeding tickets - that's exciting.  I go to court on the 24th.  I figure, if I can't remember the last time I went to Driving Improvement School maybe it's been the allotted amount of time - or maybe they forgot too.

Anyway - here are random pictures.



Happy belated 4th by the way.  My 4th kind of passed away in a fun, quiet way.  Spent some time with Jo and the kids in the morning, played some games at the boys' house and then a cookout. 

Yum-o

Ben - feeling the music

My boys (minus one) singing "Total Elclipse of the Heart"

Turn around bright eyes

Trying to sing a karaoke (first time ever) but the words didn't light up right and I was lost...hated it.

Playing with sparklers

The flash on my camera was so bright I couldn't keep my eyes open.
