See, I was perched on the edge of death. Literally. My grandma had me climb up her tree with a little two inch saw to hack all these old branches down. So, I crawled out on this limb that's about 10-12 feet above the ground and cut all the branches off. Then I realized that several of the branches that I had relied on for support to climb out on the limb where now reduced to a new fate, scattered on the ground.
I almost peed my pants. Then I collected myself, pretended I was in a pretty leotard, and did my best tight-rope impression back to the tree's trunk. It was stellar.
Oh, the blister. It was a two-inch blade, do you really need a description? I was sawing like some Looney Tunes character. I just hate the way your skin feels when a blister first forms. Thinking about it is giving me the shivers.
Just to brag, there's a picture of me and Calvin in BYU-Idaho's web publicity file. Here I am:
Some may wonder how I can tell this is me and to them I say two things: I know Calvin when I see him and it's obviously me because of the mole I sport on my right hand. And again, that's Calvin.
Oh, I thought I would point out that my blog got a google search hit the other day. Someone looking for "Christmas in July". I feel silently pleased.
Speaking of Christmas in July, I have been listening to Christmas music religiously but semester's end has had me quite busy. The 12 days of Christmas in July started on Friday. I saw an ad for Christmas in July in the paper today. It's definitely approaching. I'll have more time to think about it after this week.
I head for Canada on Friday! And then it's off to Colorado with the fam. And then back to Idaho. Maybe I'll get a few weeks in Nebraska. I'm ready for a break. Only 5 finals and then I'm free for a few weeks!
Have a great day :)

Dang, I'm jealous. I wish I had fun crazy adventures to look forward to during the break. For me school feels like the break. heh... back to the grind for me I guess; while you get to party. Hopefully I won't have to take up in a cubicle again. Pure unadulterated torture. Seriously. Well, mostly I just hate packing. So other than that I'm excited for a "break" too.
You should swing up to montana too!
