It's pushing 99 here in NJ today, but that's not the topic- just the eye catcher. I had an interesting week, for me...speaking of boredom. This may be roundabout, but it will make sense and hopefully be relevant to several recent posts. I painted my kitchen (old news) with the help of a friend. Overwhelming and boring are non issues when you have help. There are skydivers and bike riders (mind you, I love bikes) but what about those of us who have found a challenge in the seemingly mundane? Which is ever so much more available .... When I drank, I could barely keep a clean house. I think that drinking makes you not care about anything- on the one hand, it's what we seek; on the other, its the handmaiden of boredom, is my own feelin'.... - BeachGirl. PS- And speaking of beaches, I read today that due to continental drift, the Pacific is shrinking and the Atlantic is expanding- by about one inch per year. Jersey Shore here I come!
Hi all! Just catching up! What have I been doing???? Oh laying in the pool, supervising teens (ugh!) working and Dean would be proud....started working out at a womens club!!! Good bye flabby arms I hope!!

Greetings from the land of the endless summer. It's time for me to head for the Blueridge, my summer home. Too bad I can't stay all summer but at least I'll get 7-10 5 day trips.
Liverpool has been swinging between bright & cheery summer sun one day & then raining all day the next. Good old British weather. Famous for its swinging lol Apparently my work colleague tells me our summer will be done by Wednesday! I hope not. We had an awful summer last year. Probably two weekends of scorching weather & then flooding in many parts in July & August. Shocking really. Liverpool is lucky in that regard. We have the River Mersey but its banks have never burst so far to my knowledge =S Liverpool is seeing lots of revamps commercially & structurally at the moment having being awarded Capital of Culture status for 08. We're behind schedule in some ways but having some global attention is helping give us a boost in others! 2009 should be interesting too by the time this year has made momentum. Wishing you all well whatever the weather, Daniella x
