Turning Limes into Pie.

I don't want to really say anything too soon, but I think I've been able to turn my poor June luck around. The summer of 2010 has gotten off to an incredible start. Between meeting new people, having fun adventures in the mountains, getting a promotion at work and possibly checking off one of the big bucket list items this upcoming weekend... I've stayed busy. And it's been the best kind of busy. :)

I need to get back on a real schedule for my marathon training though. I did well last week with early morning workouts, but this week was not so good. Must. Change. This.

And I do believe I have perfected my key lime pie recipe. With an addition of macadamia nuts in the crust and coconut in the whipped cream, it's the perfect summer dish.

Last weekend was Father's Day. It fell on June 20. Six years ago, my paternal grandmother passed away on June 20, on Father's Day. Two years after that, my 13 year old cat died on the 20th. This is one of the bad June days. Luckily, I was able to successfully wish my father a happy day and tell him I love him. I guess I can't wish for much more than that.

Once I complete my bucket list item, I'll post it. I don't want to jump the gun in case the plans fall through. I get excited just thinking about it. :)

June Sucks.

It's officially June. I have a poor history with this month, so I'm hoping it flies by. Luckily, I have some good things planned. I'm officially on vacation this week which was celebrated this afternoon by the pool. I'm driving back home to Tennessee in the morning where I'll get to spend some quality time with family and friends there. And our garage sale. (Not looking forward to that one.) I'm hoping to spend a good day on the lake and a good day hiking on the AT. I miss the mountains.

I'm traveling tomorrow - which is why I'm still awake. I always get a little anxious or something the night before I go somewhere. I'm incredibly OCD when it comes to getting things ready the night before and making sure I'm ready to go.

I have also decided that I need new music. Not just stuff to download - Glee gives me plenty opportunities to get new stuff on a weekly basis. What I really need is something to hook me for a while, much like how the Avett Brothers got me through last summer.
