Summertime with the girls

Adding to the list (or should that be removing?!) my first camping trip ever. Going on a canoe and camping trip with fellow doctoral students and friends Lisa, Dorothy and Natasha. Just received the following note from Dorothy who added this to my things to do list:

we are booked for campsite #7 for July 28 and 29 … the description of the site reads as follows:

++Very private in a large bay. + inviting fire pit near shore surrounded
by sloping higher rock. + deepwater swimming right off rocks.
+ protected and cozy feeling under whispering pines .

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh …now we pray for great weather …

Sweet! I think this will be crazy fun.

Two days ago I went to see Sex and the City with Colleen, Lisa and Rachel. It was funny and sad. Some of this turning forty stuff is going to be hard. Carrie being labeled a forty year old last-ditch bride by Vogue brought me to the "I'm going to die alone" place. I know much of the rawness is more about my general mood and need to focus on the positives, but I find some of this stuff really hard. Who knew?! Some of the clothing was insane!!! Samantha's Dante...dang.
