A polar bear in my bed

Is it really July already? Where has half of my summer gone? Half of my projects aren't done! This is a big problem . . .

But.

There is never tooooo much to do to keep me off a vacation (plus I always have high hopes of what I'll get done while lounging pool side--or beach side--all day).

We leave tonight for California, well, all of us but Mikey that is. Tonight will be the first night we've been away from each other since we've been married. My mom couldn't believe it. But it's true . . . and I might have to bring that life-sized polar bear stuffed animal in my sister's room to keep me company.
