ok guys. no more cranky messages from me. i just had a great weekend with my fam at star lake. the topper was definitely "guess the schnauzee". one person would sit on a stool and shut their eyes. the timer would start and the person would be brought each of the four dogs individually and would have to guess which dog it was just by petting it and feeling it. we all took turns and i got them all correct with the winning time of 13 seconds!!!!

there were other highlights of the weekend as well, but really, it was just a lot of eating, reading, biking, swimming, and hiking. it was wonderful and luxurious and it makes me realize i've been going through people withdrawal. i have so much more energy and am so much happier when there is a full house around. so i'm reenergized and ready to tackle job applications and school applications and so excited about bern and my possible apartment with becky and meghanne. move in date is looking good for october 1st, i think, so with an end in sight for living in malone, i think i'll be just fine, and no more shingles! (they're almost cleared up)
oh, and i just talked to dan shu, and i'm so excited. i am not going to be able to see him, but still i'm excited to have talked to him for the first time in nearly 3 years!


s-your life sounds fantastic and stressful. you should watch out for shingles! i can't wait to hear more (i think i wrote that last time, but it still holds). go for the aussie.

m-i hope to talk to you soon. it's been a while.

b-i have been in contact with patrick. i'll re-fax that application tomorrow.

a-thanks for the pic, i haven't tackled trying to post it yet. i'll save that for another day

g-what have you been up to? haven't heard from you in awhile.

love you all
julie
