Girls in Pants: The Third Summer of the Sisterhood

After reading the first 2 books in this series, I couldn't stop there! I plowed ahead through Girls in Pants, by Ann Brashares. At this point in the series, the girls are people in my mind and I am so excited to see where their next adventures will take them! The 3rd book is set during the summer after they've graduated high school and they are getting ready to go forward to college. I remember those times and the feelings involved, so it was very easy to put myself in the girls shoes. I read most of this at the beach as well, so the feeling of summer definitely permeated the experience of reading this book. I'm working on the 4th one now!

#86 - Buy a new or used vehicle.

I bought a car! It is a 2006 Chevy Impala with a bit less than 8,000 miles on it. It was officially mine when we signed the paperwork on 8/1/08. Pretty.


Now to learn how to parallel park it with success!

#55 - Take Mike to Indian Echo Caverns

Mike and I went to Indian Echo Caverns on Saturday. Mike had been there when he was very young (5-7 yr old) and he kept slightly remembering things. I hadn't been there since a school field trip in elementary school, but my friends worked their in high school, so a lot of things were still fresh in my mind. We had a good tour guide (go Evan!) and we suffered through (and laughed at) the obligatory corny jokes. It was fun and it was a good way to end our vacation week.

#54 - Go miniature golfing

When we were down the Jersey Shore (Brant Beach, NJ to be exact) last week, my family, Mike, Adam (Liz's boyfriend), and I all went to The Sand Trap to play miniature golf. I grew up on this course and it hasn't changed much since the first time we played there. It is still kept up very nicely and I can still get a hole-in-one! And Dad still doesn't play by the rules. So, what's new? :-) It was fun and was a good way to pass a slightly gray morning.
