Milledgeville, GA - Thomas and his crazy friends for lake madness - I hit 100,000 miles on the way back

Favorite quotes from said time:
"Mamie, they're professional baseball players. They don't get snacks!" - Thomas explaining to me that, No there is no half-time in baseball and NO, there is no set time for snacks.

"Thomas thought Sam was going to be there for like 6 months ... I told him, no 6 weeks... he's not building the fence alone." -Yeah I'm funny and I know it.

"Curse word. Curse word. Dammit." -Erin .. yeah I know it's recycled but it never fails to make me laugh.

I'm sure Brooke said lots of funny things too because I distinctly remember laughing with her a lot, especially in the grocery store buying dinner and Timmy the bath gel stingray ... but I can't remember specifics right now. Yeah and Chrissy said funny stuff too but again ... it was a long long month and some.

New apple computers purchased: 1 (yesssssssss)

Spray tans gotten: embarrassingly 1 ... and the most embarassing part is, I totally loved it!

I really have been crazy busy ending the summer therapy and classes and being gone practically every weekend. And even though it was really tiring, I really did have a such a fun time seeing all my friends. Now I'm settling into my new fall routine and waiting for YOU to come visit ME! I know Columbia isn't that alluring, but let's be honest ... I'm pretty darn alluring. That should keep your inquiring minds satisfied for now. I'll be more diligent in the days to come ... it's feeling good to write again...
