1. What’s your favorite childhood snack that you still eat as an adult?
Not really sure you would call it a snack but everyday for lunch growing up I would have a bologna and cheese sandwich. To this day I still have those on most days as my “breakfast” at work which I usually eat around 10 AM since I really don’t eat breakfast.

2. What food will you not eat the low fat version of?
Cottage cheese. Tastes nasty.

3. What’s your favorite way to cool off during the summer?
POOL! Doesn’t matter who’s it is either lol

4. What’s your favorite summer read?
I don’t really have a favorite summer read. Once I read a book I usually never pick it up again because I remember every detail when I start reading it again. I do watch summer programs though like Royal Pain, Burn Notice, Psych, Suits, Covert Affairs, etc.

5. What are you doing to stay cool in this awful heat?
Staying indoors mostly and doing my homework. ALthough I was sitting on the outside patio at Starbucks last weekend and it was very pleasant. May do that again this weekend.

The Rules: I’m going to ask FOUR QUESTIONS that everyone can answer and then you have the option to add a fifth question of your own for those who are visiting your blog to answer in the comment section, along with commenting on the four standard questions you answered!

1. What was your favorite childhood toy?
Hmm, not really sure, maybe Linkin Logs? I used to feed my Barbies to the guinea pigs and they’d eat their toes and hands.

2. Where did you go this weekend?
Just to the gym and Starbucks. I had a lot of homework to do.

3. When was the last time you shopped for yourself? What did you buy?
I bought a free book last Friday. Does that count? Other than that I don’t really shop. I give money to a coworker because she likes shopping and I despise it.

4. Paper, Plastic or Reusable?
Is there a difference? I use cups that I guess are hard plastic type and reuse those.

And your question is:
What would be the first thing you by if you won the lottery?

1. What do you keep a stock pile of?
Computer parts. I’m like the resident dump site of old computers.

2. If Ben & Jerry asked you to invent an ice cream, what would it be?
It might be out but I wouldn’t know since I don’t buy ice cream. My ideal flavor would be dark chocolate with brownie chunks and nuts.

3. How do you blow off steam?
Used to be bowling but since my back issues I can’t really do that anymore. I tend to run now although I have been known to beat the crap out of some computer parts when they don’t work properly lol

4. What would you do if you had an hour to yourself anywhere within a ten mile radius of your home…no kids, no hubby, just you?
Sit on the back porch reading and watching the dogs like I do now.

5. When you were 16, what was your curfew in the summertime?
Darkness – when the sun was gone we had to be in the house unless we had prior arrangements already set up.

1. What is your favorite movie quote or song lyric of all time?
Oh lordy, I have no bloody idea. I watch a TON of movies and there are a few priceless lines in practically all of them.

2. If you had to choose a novel for a book club to read and discuss, which one would you pick?
The only real book that would probably qualify for book club from my collection as of recent would probably be Auschwitz: A Doctor’s Eyewitness Account.

3. When was the last time you danced? What brought you to it?

4. Do you typically remember your dreams?
Sometimes – usually the freaky ones.

And your question is:
5. Have you ever gone away for a week and just been completed exhausted when you got back? I’m still exhausted from going to camp last week.

A day late because I was sitting either in airports or on an airplane trying to get home from camp yesterday.

1. Would you grow your hair out to donate it?
Well, technically I could donate it now as it is long enough but it also has hair coloring of different shades of blond in there and some not colored at all so would they still take it? I seriously need to color my hair like naow!

2. What song makes you think of summer?
Songs come and go so it’s hard to say. The only thing coming to mind right now is Summertime.

3. Are you a flip flops or sandals kind of person?
Sandals all the way. I despise things between my toes.

Give me a good luke cold sugar grape free Kool-Aid after mowing the lawns and I’m good.

5. Do you do something special for the father of your children?

The things I heard this year were insane. I had no idea what was going on last year. Every year there is a batch of interns, a huge batch. They are there to play with the kids in the activities and color war games. Once bedtime hits, they usually go to a counselors meeting and then supposedly back to bed. Well, not last year which prompted a change in the management of them this year. Last year after the counselor meetings they would go out to the bonfire place which is next to the pool and drink beer and woop it up until all hours of the morning and some of them even were having sex in the woods outside the cabins. One of the counselors in my cabin this year said she heard some of them having sex last year and the one girl in her cabin was always hungover the next morning and would not get up on time. This is a kids camp y’all. I understand now why there was a limited amount of interns and why they were actually a great group to work with. New person with new rules they must abide by or you were out.

This years camp theme was masquerade ball. As seen by some of the pictures strewn throughout this post you can see they did a fantastic job and the kids were thrilled about it all and had a great time as usual. Of course this year seemed to have more problems with the children though, especially in the group I had going with me. Teenagers can drive you mad and their temperment and hormones are insane. Usually it takes at least a day or two for everyone to get to know everyone else as the groups come from all over the country. this year, however, it seemed they knew each other from day one and some of them did as they are repeat customers to the camp. So let’s try to break this down from beginning to end.

First, the schedule, I was bringing a little girl named Peyton but the camp powers that be must have thought Peyton Manning and placed her in the boys cabin. Rectified before camp even began. Then comes camp time. One of the teenage girls in my cabin was caught behind the mess hall where no camper is allowed with another boy. Then, these same two campers snuck out of their respective cabins to meet up in the middle of the night. Another night, one of the teenage boys I brought was taling with one of the girls, not really sure if they were flirting or what but she ended up dumping juice on his head. Well, obviously he did not take that well and took a chair and flung it against the wall and then started cursing up a storm. He was sent back to his cabin and once they found out who the girl was she was too as well as helping in the mess hall the next day for punishment and possibly not being able to come back to camp next year. Still not sure on that issue but my camper is not. This was already his second chance at coming back from a few years prior and the antics he did then.

Finally past all that Thursday night rolls around and apparently there is another party at the Orioles cabin (they name the cabins either bird names or tree names) which was my cabin. Half the girls in there were the same as last year and in the same cabin. There was also a party at the Orioles last year. I fell asleep during the middle of it because I was exhausted lol. This year, however, it was broken up by many, many counselors. The announcement of the party was being mentioned all day long and even some of the counselors who run the joint heard about it. What was funny was that I left 2 counselors in the cabin with the “party” while I went to the counselor meeting when we heard over the walkie-talkie that a Jackson was at the Orioles party who happened to be the son of the person that heads over the camp. He goes, seriously? And sure enough it was true lol. I knew who was doing night watch to check in on the cabins to make sure all the kids were in there and told her to bang on our door and yell fire marshall All kids were thought to be safely back in their respective cabins.

I got back into my cabin about 11:45 PM and one of the other counselors in our cabin came in about 10 minutes after me. She asked me if I heard someone yelling on the bull horn that all campers must return to their respective cabins – which I had not. Apparently, 2 of my boy campers, one of which was in the incident previously in the week, and another one snuck out of their cabins as well as 2 boy campers from another cabin and were wondering the grounds. They were nailed but for about about hour after that I could hear golf carts going up and down the trails making sure no one else was out.

Friday morning leaving. We needed to leave by 8 – 8:30 AM to make our 10:45 AM flight back home. We were still waiting around just past 9 AM. For whatever reason they thought our flight left at 1:40 PM which was actually the flight time we arrived in Atlanta going to camp on the Saturday before. We barely made it but we did and that’s all that matters. Got home at 4 PM, picked up my puppies from puppy jail, grabbed something to eat and passed out.

Now, this morning I have the AT&T guys installing my internet and U-Verse. Why I scheduled it right after I got back from camp I will never know but here they are and I’m still tired lol. I still have to mow the grass, and move my desk back into the extra bedroom as I am having the dude hook the cable up in there again. I am going to separate my desk to move it back in there.
