Yeah, not only is this a late entry, but it’s also going to be a lame entry. Today, however, was all about a little dose of summer vacation. Remember how wonderful the last day of school was? Remember how awesome you felt on the bus ride home, knowing that the next three months were going to be unencumbered bliss? Remember how boredom settled in after about two weeks?

Boredom? What the hell was that about? I can actually remember uttering the phrase “I’m bored” to my father as he walked past me from another day of work. He would laugh at me and I always found that so irritating. Now I completely get it. I wish I had three months of utter nothingness stretching out before me. Now, in order to take just one day off, I have to do double the work to clear my schedule. Yeah, being an adult is kind of poopy sometimes.

Of course, right after I finish writing this, I’m going to go get frozen yogurt for dinner, so adulthood does have its perks 😉

So, anyway, I hope you all get a chance to totally enjoy this weekend, just like we should have been enjoying our long summer vacations when we were kids. Go run through a sprinkler. Chase after the ice cream truck with a hot handful of quarters. Have a barbecue, fall asleep in a hammock, and end the evening catching fireflies. Or just sit on your butt all weekend, watching television (which, let’s face it, that’s how some of us spent big chunks of our vacations back then anyway). Whatever you do, just have fun. Turn off your CrackBerry. Don’t check your workmail. Leave the cell phone at home. Life is way too short to be a Borg drone. Whatever you end up doing though, I hope the sun is shining brightly wherever you are and that you have a splendiferous weekend!
