I found out some interesting news today... people actually read what I write... so I've decided to take up the old blogging once again. After all, I'm not working right now so I can at least keep up with the requests of my loyal fan base :) So... off we go.
Today was a marvelous day. We got to spend time with my delightful family AND shop at the outlet mall. Ah, family and shopping, what more can a girl ask for? The whole Spiehler clan trooped down to Brown County for a delightful day of lively fun in nature. We had a rousing match of croquet, with Megan and myself tying as co-winners. The boys thought that was ridiculous, as we should have battled to the death to beat each other. But, there was food to be eaten, and we were just as happy being co-winners, since we only cared about beating two particular gents, both of whom take sporting events (even leisurely ones like croquet!) as if they are being telecasted on ESPN and require the intense competitive nature of pro-athletes. After our lunch was over we went on a hike around the lake. Nature provided a few challenges for us on our woodland adventure, but we conquered them like the pioneers would have. My mother shattered the eardrums of all the humans and animals in a 23 mile radius when Aaron attacked her with a snake... or a snake-like stick. Matt pole-vaulted over a creek. We saw a lot of cicada holes, a giant snake (yes, this one was real!), little tiny frogs, and enough mud to last me a good, long while. But we felt like we accomplished a great feat when we returned to the clan. On the way home we stopped at the outlet mall and did a bit of shopping, followed by a delicious dinner. Tomorrow it is back to work for many people... except for me... this summer I join the ranks of the "Wealthy Women of the Northside." (You know, the ones that dress to the hilt and shop like nobody's business. All the while chatting on their cell phones and telling the nanny to mind Muffy, Buffy, and Puffy (who are usually dogs of the fluffy variety, but sometimes unfortunately named children.) I'm pretty sure the only thing lacking for my title would be the wealth... no worries... maybe if I stand outside Keystone looking sad some woman will bestow upon me her fortune :)
I'll try to be more regular with the blogging... we'll see how that works out... unless I have to go shopping :)
