...but I'll be better about posting regularly once I'm back from holidays.

I'm really looking forward to having two full weeks off. I'm going to catch up on some chores and repairs around the house and I have a crew coming to build a fence around my backyard. Then it's off to the lake to see one of my dearest friends get married and then I'll spend the rest of the time visiting family and friends around Saskatchewan. I plan to do a lot of reading, relaxing and just hanging out.

Okay, Brad and Angelina. You've finally added twins to your brood - a boy named Knox Leon and a girl named Vivienne Marcheline. Congratulations! The names are pretty normal (even bland) by Hollywood standards. Considering Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh, I wasn't sure what to expect. But you've done good. I'm not a fan of "Knox" but it could've been a lot worse. So good on ya.

I went for a quick run this morning and passed by the new skateboard park behind the Science Centre in Regina. The sprinklers were on, but the skaters were still out - and I was really happy to see it. I'm not a skater, I've never stepped foot on a skateboard (okay, once when I was nine and it immediately slipped out from under me and I've steered clear ever since), but I think the skatepark is a great addition to the city and it's in a perfect location.

I love summer. I love the heat, I love the sun, I love being warm.

But, funny thing is, I'm NEVER WARM in the summer!! I'm always freezing my butt off because everyone loves air conditioning so much! Ugh. I hate it.

I just got back to work after having a week off to relax and recharge. I didn't travel or go camping or anything, but I did spend some time with family throughout the province. I mostly just hung out, went shopping and did some chores around the house. But I did have an experience that was exhilarating and fun.

I played tag with my 5-year-old niece.
