My favorite Month gone

So.. June is my favorite month of the year. It's my favorite for several reasons. It's the middle of the year so it's a very neutral place to be. For those of you who know me, you know that I love neutral even if you don't love being neutral. June is also my birthday month which I just celebrated. Yes, I was born on June 27 and I'm a fun loving cancer. It's sounds like an ad for an online dating service. ( I also recently thought about signing up my roommate for a dating service and not telling her. I decided it wouldn't work out but it was the thought that counts right?) Anyhow.. back to June... so it's also summer on my continent. I have no idea how i would feel if June was the winter. I think I would be thoroughly upset. I mean I love winter too but I love summer so much more. Especially summer here in the A. It's so nice and HOT and sticky icky and forces you to shower before and after bed. This summer, I've joined a flag football league which has been even more fun. I really enjoy getting pushed around and beat up but love being the person that is pushing folks around and beating them up as well. I just think it's the best sport ever. I'm really trying to go and see some NFL games this year. I think it will be really exciting.

The irony of June is that when it's over people feel like summer is over. I feel like summer has just begun but I can understand why they feel like that. Right after June it will be July 4th and then that's the last major holiday before Labor Day (at least that I can think of.)
This June will be a very memorable one in my life. It's the first summer that my sister will have missed and the last summer my brothers will be home. They are off to college in the fall and I'm so excited and a nervous wreck at the same time. You would have thought that I birthed them myself. But if you know anything about June, I'm a Cancer and we are nervous wrecks all the time and worry wort's.

A good aspect of June is that it is usually vacation for most folks and that includes myself. As you saw from my last post, I was in Mexico and had a fabulous time with some friends. I'm already thinking about what next June will be like since this one is over. I guess that's been the story of this year. I've had a lot of loss in the first half and and attended funerals and now it's the second half of the year and I will be attending weddings. I have been invited to 3 and will most likely only attend 2. Just like I had 3 funerals but only went to two. It's funny how the world works in perfect balance. It might not be the balance that you want but it's balance.

So high note of this week: I saw my mom, grandma, cousins and niece for my birthday and I didn't have to travel. They were in Atlanta.
Low note: I have no more vacation days so I won't be going on another trip. I will have to make some mini weekend getaways. Summer is about fun and travel equals fun for me.
