Summer Days Driftin' Away

Quite a bit has happened since I last wrote. I'm sad the summer is quickly fading and my favorite month of the year is over. I love JULY! It is when everyone relaxes a bit more and has fun. It is also my birthday month and I still love it even though this past July I turned THIRTY-SEVEN. My sister called me on my birthday and as we sat there chit-chatting, she goes, "I'm THIRTY-NINE. And you're THIRTY-SEVEN. That sounds SO WEIRD. My sister is THIRTY-SEVEN." I don't know why that cracked me up. I couldn't stop laughing. It kind of hit us that we're so much older than we feel. I told her I like to think of people such as Jennifer Aniston who look crazy good for their age so I can say "I'm younger than her." Not sure why that makes me feel better. It probably shouldn't since she looks so much better than I do. I've noticed that now, my body won't hide things as well as it used to. Wretched body! It does horrible things like expose my inveterate lack of sleep so that instead of having the usual 2 bags under my eyes, I swear I see 4. Lovely, I know. I am a vision of beauty.

We also took a short summer trip to Vegas, because Kwang received another free stay at the Palazzo. It'd been a year since we last visited, but as soon as we entered the resort from the parking garage and Eli saw the blinking lights of the machines and heard the ding-dings of the casino, he yelled out of nowhere, "I looooove Las Vegas!"

Finally, this past Sunday marked our 7 year wedding anniversary. We didn't do much on our actual anniversary but I still feel that, like Eli, Kwang loves me "all the way up to the Transformer planet."
