Killer, killer heels.
Jun. 23rd, 2008 09:39 amI fail at posting often. But I'll try harder, I swear! No, really...
1.
The shoes I'm wearing to graduation! They look great, but you should see what these little nasties do to my toes. The graduation dress requirements were white shoes, with straps - so of course, I had to subsequently go and spend money on the high school again, even in the last dregs of it all. Only consolation is that a large part of the ceremony is, after all, just sitting. My last name starts with 'U'. Lots and lots of sitting.
2.
Kayaking on the Lehigh was fun, like usual. We went on the easier section (the upper), and that has pretty basic Class II-III rapids. Going on the lower section when the kiddo isn't with us! (Mark gets cold so easily; after about an hour of kayaking, he's just sitting there and shivering and being miserable.) The fun of it all is getting SPLASHED, hello! Anyway, I'd brought The Fox by Sherwood Smith along with me to this annual Dad's camping/kayaking thingamabob. Since I'll be getting the third book in the series soon (King's Shield), I thought I'd reread the prior. And it's sooo good... I was annoying people by trying to hurry the cars up so I could get back to it at the campsite and read.

3. I often forget how tenuous online friendships are. After you meet someone in real life, though, the 'acquaintance' on the other side definitely becomes more real to you. But it's just a sort of funny to-and-fro until then...
