A Mid-Summers Weigh-In

   Well, its July 14th, the summer is half over.  My weigh in today did not go well, but went as expected. I weighed in at 89lbs. It’s actually an all-time low for me during the summer months.  Additionally, I just got back from camp today.  My parents never weigh themselves the moment THEY get back from vacation.  Hypocrits!  I really DID NOT want to weigh in. Here is proof. http://youtu.be/M1fbo8CgRNU

I just want to rest. It’s hot out. My parents did the 5K Foamfest yesterday at Kimball Farms in Haverhill and their clothes still smell of ‘the farm’. They were super disappointed that the death drop slide went down because apparently some people are stupid and go with keys in their pockets or cleats on their shoes.  I think it’s funny, because now I’ve done something my parents haven’t.  My cousin had a death drop slide at his birthday party, and I went on it….TWICE! http://youtu.be/rQzBSPueGPA Maybe next year Mom and Dad!

Now that my parents had THEIR fun, next weekend is my turn. I will be going to the Dog Days of Summer at Leslie’s Retreat Dog Park on Saturday, July 20th. I really can’t wait. I understand there will be cookies there, from one of my Dad’s favorite breweries!  I don’t know if my Dad will be there, but I KNOW my Mom won’t disappoint.

I’m probably going to try to drop another pound or so before the big event. I think they still have pools there, and I want to look ripped for the ladies. Hopefully my friend Bailey Lynch can stay healthy enough to join.  He hasn’t eaten a sock in about 3 weeks, so let’s hope he doesn’t cave and fall off the wagon!

I hope next week to share with you the fun I had!  If I can get my parents to take me to a Patio for lunch, this weekend will be complete.  I’m hoping for Gulu-Gulu, but I will take the Village Tavern too.
