real simple.

unexpectedly, this weekend we added five things to our spend-less summer list:

• crashing a little league game. boy, does that bring on the sentiments of summer. hey, #7 could be our nephew, cousin,...complete stranger that could use a cheering section.
• sunday's open houses. I find it so much fun...not sure if Aaron's all the way up there with me, but it's an enjoyable afternoon. On the flip side, it may end up contributing to a spend-more autumn.
• poolside. no explanation needed.
• reading 'vintage' scary stories by candlelight. Cheers to Kara for the yardsale find & the awesome blast from the past.
• sunset picnicking at the lake. Thanks, mom, for the adorable picnic set that we intend to adequately break-in. [ok, corey, you were right. it made it.]

As for other news, to those tuned in - today's interview for the genetic counseling job at Childrens was postponed, again. I've been assured that there are 'no concerns' and have been given several optimistic winks-and-smiles from the staff I trained under... but, until I formally receive an offer, naturally I can't help but feel a little unsettled. Feel free to send an extra prayer this way.

Night-night.
