Readiness?
Tuesday, July 6, 2010 at 6:35AM 
I snapped this the other day on the way down to main street in my little town. It may have been when K3 and I were on our way to see Eclipse. I had the camera set up totally wrong, but I loved the image of the island across the sound and the Olympic Mountains in the background. Although the weather was spectacularly crappy this June, we have had the occasional nice day... followed by a couple days of cloudy and 65!
All of that is coming to an end this week as temps climb into the mid to upper 80's. We'll see if I can keep from whining about the warm weather I wished for!
In other news, I think I leave for Virginia (and Blogfest!) in 9 days! Which means I've entered the mental preparation phase. This consists of:
- wishing I wasn't so "jiggly"
- wishing I were mildly thinner (I know they'll love me anyway)
- wishing the self tanner I've been smearing on my legs religously would kick in
- wishing my hair wouldn't frizz in the humidity
- wishing I were better with my camera in stead of (still) struggling along
- wishing my leg hair would grow so I could wax before I leave
- wishing this blotch on my forehead would develop into something I could treat instead of sitting there teasing me
Stay tuned for the next phase which consists of panic attacks about packing and wondering if my summer clothes still fit.
With the warm weather on the way, drop by the Asthmatic Kitchen to see what I'm scarfing down huge bowls of!
What are you eating?
AG out!

Good grief! I just checked the forecast... they're predicting 93 by Friday. All bets are off, let the whining commence!

LOL! But stop worrying! You will have a blast at the fest... You will have a blast at the fest.... You will have a blast at the fest....
This is your new mantra.
It's 100 here t\oday and I'm waddling around in a bathing suit trying to stain the deck. Bring as little as possible to wear because it's too hot! If it's like this, we're just going to live at Bud's Beach and stay in the water the whole time. Can't wait to see you!
Eating .. everything/anything that isnt moving or nail down ... GAH ...
Its HOT HOT HOT here .. I am wishing for cooooool ...
STOP worrying ... it is what it is
I'm eating bowl after bowl of quinoa and asparagus. And you're right. We love you: hair, blotch, camera issues and all. Cannot wait!
My BBF (before blog fest) list looks much the same...(sigh)!
Can't wait to get there!!
I started to think the same things but decided that everyone probably feels the same way. Too fat, too pale, too . . . oh, you name it. When women get together, right away they begin to critique themselves. But the people we'll be with love us for who we are.
Hey, guess what? I'm bringing a new lens. You can play with it if you like. I got a Lensbaby, baybee. Bringing the macro too. Still didn't get the coveted 18-200mm but life will go on without it!
Oh, and I don't know what I'm eating. I hear things going on in the kitchen and it's always a surprise when I sit down to the table. Sometimes I get so excited.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think the tables would be turned like this. I like this part.
Oooh, have fun! Last year looked like you had a blast. Good for you! No one will judge and/or notice any jiggle, spots, frizz, leg hair, etc, etc. They will just be happy to see you. And you're a great photographer so don't doubt yourself.
