August Can't End!

I don't want August to end. I've been pissy for this whole month. (not PMS..I'm spayed) I dread summer ending. I'm not going to get all nostalgiac and say things like....I'm going to miss the crickets chirping, or rubbing their legs together, or whatever that kinky thing is that they do, or things like...I'm going to miss walking outside barefoot in the garden, or leaving the windows open all night so we can feel the brisk air, because those are lies. Kimber and I have allergies, and asthma, and it gets ugly when we turn blue,and for us to wake up to "brisk, fresh air" someone has to die. (Poor Mark, he thinks he is really saving a ton of money by opening up all the windows and doors at the crack of dawn, to cool down the house-Kimber and I wake up and IRRITATION is all we feel-stuffed up heads, looking for the inhaler,itchy eyes-wow I'm going to move on) No, the reason I am pissy is I hate school. I've always hated school. Not the social part, love that, but hate school. Ok that is just one reason I guess. I love hot days, I love to be warm, I love the sun. FYI I loved Gilligans Island, had to be my favorite show ever! Notice the weather never changed on that show..a tropical storm, little wind, but mostly sunny, and Ginger could always wear cute outfits! They were right on the beach..awww. Back to being pissy-when school starts, that means Justine and Kimber are older-just like a birthday-I'm always pissy around their birthdays too. I don't care that I'm getting older, but pissy that they are. Justine is a senior this year, I don't want to face up to it. Today I had to face up a little, today is picture day, Justine's last picture day. Senior section in the year book. How can she be that old? I don't want her freinds to be seniors either. The last few graduations I've attended, I cry. How will I get through Justine's? I've already got the outfit that I'm going to wear, it's going to look alot like Jackie O's at John F.Kennedy's funeral. Big black scarf, and sunglasses. Look for me! (But don't hug me-hugging is a form of hazing- I don't hug, and if I'm as pissy as I am now, I may hit, or cry uncontrollably!) August cannot end!!

Salem Skyhawk Hotties

Aww..Tennis uniforms. New School, New Colors, New Coaches,New Uniforms...so I take this upon myself. For one, the other dresses they've had in the past have been around $100.00. In the last three years, I've paid for Justine's tennis dresses, little dresses, tight dresses, little numbers the girls all feel awkward in. This year I decide at a tennis meeting that there has to be something better out there! I looked online all summer! Not much to choose from. So we are in Target in St.George. They had the cutest outfit ever. I bought a couple of sizes, and even a matching bra! I was pumped! I quickly call the coach to have him approve of it. This will save the team $60bucks! How could he not love it? So he requests that I send an email with a photo in it...he wants to make sure they aren't "too gay"-because after all the coaches are men! I rounded up the finest models that I had and as you can see...they are Just Perfect! They are the right length, total school colors, fit every shape and size, and so breathable! After Coach Karl got the email, he said he stared and laughed for five minutes, he approved. Then I had the idiotic task of finding twenty different sizes! And they aren't online! I took them from every Target in Utah, Mark got a few from Tennessee, and Missouri! We are ready for the first match on Thursday! (Next time...I think I will pay $100!)
