It's very hot. I went outside for about 10 minutes today and my skin turned red and tingle-ly. I took it as a bad sign and went back in. You know it's hot when a dip in the pool that you would usually classify as "freezing" sounds like an endeavor that would just be too hot.
Actually, I think it has cooled down to a mellow 85 degrees now, but I'm still staying inside, enjoying the air. Now that I'm a grown-up, working 8-5 in a nice air-conditioned office, I've become a bit of a sissy when it comes to summer weather. Don't get me wrong, I can still appreciate the beautiful of a sunny, 95 degree August day, but it looks so much prettier, when I, myself, am a cool 75 degrees.
So, to keep cool, I'm going to do as many low-impact chores as possible tonight. You, know, bills, watching TV...um, giving myself a pedicure. OK, so maybe the heat has sapped a bit of my energy, but they don't call them the "lazy days of summer" for nothin'.

Not So Lazy Sunday
It's raining. The type of day where I just want to put my PJs on and settle in with a good book (I'm working my way through the Spenser series right now.) But no, such luxuries were not possibloe today. With an impending move home to Michigan, there is much packing to be done.
Only 26 days until the moving truck is parked in front. It sound like a lot of time, but I'm still not sure we'll be ready. I got 2 boxes of clothes packed today. I'm feeling pretty good about that. If I can get one more box packed by the end of the day, I'll be even happier.
I have to admit, I'm very excited to move back. Given the fact that this is the 2nd time I've moved back to East Lansing since I graduated from college, I'm beginning to get the feeling that it is where I belong.
It's really a great city. Lots of students and book-learning, and most importantly, lots of really great restaurants. A really great city. So EL, here we come. Ready to enjoy you again.
And just think, a month from now, I'll be able to relax on my Sundays again!!

My first post
I'm Sarah. This is my blog. A glimpse into my mind. Kinda scary.
Inspired by my cousin who has moved south of the border, I have decided to create a blog of my own. I don't really know what I'll put in it. It has been a LONG time since I've posted anything on the web (unless you count the page that I created in college which I just realized has been up without any attention for nearly 10 years. oops!)
Tune in occasionally to see if I've had any moments of brilliance. That's all for now.
