Goodbye, Summer – 2012

Well…

What can I say other than it’s been quite an eventful summer over here.

 

* My 16 year old son, Justin, started driving.

* We managed to survive without air conditioning.

* I took a lot of photos.

* This blog turned SIX years old.

* Season five of the television show Breaking Bad totally blew my mind.

* I watched four seasons of the television show Mad Men marathon style. And loved it.

* My 4 year old nephew, MDW, outgrew the need for ‘swimmies‘.

* And, new bedding changed my life.

* I laughed a lot.

* I drank a lot.

* I ate when I was hungry.

* I slept when I was tired.

* I made unforgettable memories.

* And, I thoroughly took advantage of living the life of leisure.

 

Alas, all good things must eventually come to an end.

While I’ve loved every second shared with my family and friends, it’s a new week, a new month, and the new school year is about to begin. Considering I am the type of person who thrives more when my life is structured, the time has come for me to refocus. I am absolutely ready to get back on a normal schedule, that includes really writing again, both here on this blog, and with my novel.

 

Please enjoy my end of summer movie montage.

 

 

Goodbye, Summer.

It was fun while it lasted.

    Holy cow! That is the cutest thing ever! Thank you for the smiles and giggles this morning. You should bottle his dancing…it really could end up the magic cure for the blues!

    Hey, I loved your summer video. Your little nephew has really got his groove on doesn’t he? You know summer never lasts long enough for me. Of course, here summer sometimes lasts until October.

  9. Margaret says:

    I loved his little summer pool dance! Too cute!

  10. I love that music and that boy! How cute is that little film? Adorable!!!

  11. HeSaidHisTelephoneNumberWas911 says:

    Yet another awesome MRH video. That MDW is one cute kid! I’m slowly letting Summer go, but not nearly as eager for Winter as someone I know. Welcome back to structure and schedule.

  12. Paula Wooters says:

    No swimmies! Wonderful video… a great way to cap off the summer!

  13. silverneurotic says:

    I’m definitely looking forward to reading more of your blogs in the near future…because you know, one can never laugh enough.

    Loved the pool dance! Totes adorable! I’m looking forward to YOU having more structure – I miss your posts! But I’d rather summer not be over yet.

  15. Peter says:

    It is amazing how one can be so busy 🙂

  16. Thank you Ron!!

  22. I might be ready to say goodbye to the summer if we actually had one this year! I feel like we’ve been cheated and I’m still waiting to say hello to it.

    Lovely video 🙂

  23. Cheryl says:

    I loved that movie. I almost cried when I hit the part where there were no more swimmies THEN I did tear up when I saw him dog paddle to the wall all “my by himself.” (My youngest brother never could figure out how use English as a first language.) Hope you’re feeling tons better.

  24. Sounds like you had a good summer! Glad you’re watching Mad Men, a great show. Not quite as good as Breaking Bad, but close. Speaking of BB, final show tonight! I can’t wait to see what happens!

  25. I want like 20 feet of snow. STAT.

  26. I was cheated out of winter last year.
    Maybe things will be better this year!

  27. Awwwwwwwwww!!!

    Thank you, Cheryl!!

    Thank you so very much. You’re amazeballs.

  29. I am freaking out over the finale of BB!

    FREAKING. OUT.

  30. Cheryl says:

    HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Bite your tongue.

  31. Cheryl says:

    Nope. Thank you. Made my day complete.

  32. Jayne says:

    I always love your videos! What a cutie. Ah, to be that carefree again. Since I live in California, it’s hard to tell when summer ends. For me one day just blends into another. And congrats on 6 years of this blog! I’m so looking forward to reading your novel, my friend.

  33. Ziva says:

    Aww, that video is just adorable!!

  34. Mariamichelle117 says:

    Love the video. Hope it cools off soon for all of us. Fall is my favorite especially living in Florida.

  35. Robert Garrard says:

    Glad to hear from you again; I was worried that your health was beating you down again.
    Great montage!

  36. HeSaidHisTelephoneNumberWas911 says:

    You just want to laugh at, and video, your neighbor.

  37. Ughhhh I can’t talk about this. The end of summer. No No No NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  38. Thank you so much, Jayne!!

  39. ZIVA!!

    Man, I’ve missed you!

  40. I can’t wait for the 1st HUGE snow storm here in NJ.
