Here are my thoughts

I am going to try just this once, and never again, to answer a tag for 20 random thoughts from my current brain waves. So you know who, don't ever tag me again:) Here she goes:

I could handle being back on Lake Blaine right now, smelling the meadow and loving the thick forest. The crickets here at the house are sooo blasted loud at night, it sounds like I have a nature CD playing. I love autumn. My back is thrilled about the 10 shots it got today. Everyone should get prolotherapy. Finishing the novel "A thousand splendid suns" today was a rude awakening, and everyone should read it. I am craving homemade freezer jam. Pictures of the temple are being sold at Costco right now for killer deals. Tomorrow wouldn't be too soon to adopt a baby. I love last minute happenings. This month I have had the privilege of transacting with an animal control officer, a police officer, the fire department and crew, and the gas company, all on seperate occasions. What does that mean about my behavior? I think that Suzie, Melanie, Heather, Tanya, Ambers, and all Stephanies and Emilys should move here to add to the toddler-aged children population. I need to get my root canals filled this month. I also need to get my passport before my mom-in-law disowns me. I love Chick-o-sticks. How do I get Max to stop peeing on my carpet? I yelled at Logan a lot today. Need to suppress the temper. I love to daydream about seeing the world. I want to get a Master's in International Development via the internet. Zyrtec is not making me sleepy tonight. The heater is broken on the hot tub. I have goals to learn spanish and the guitar. Not the two together, though. I miss my parents.

OKAY, now I know why I never respond when I am tagged. Now I have revealed what my brain has thought about since I came to bed tonight. And with that.......

Annual Harker Cabin Bash

We look so forward to coming to Montana every summer. This place is so temperate, green and peaceful. The cabin crowd is so diverse, loud, and hilarious. Two things never cease to amaze me about the Harker/Dernick family. The first is that they never, ever stop cooking while on vacation. Here is what has been whipped up by the queen bees since I showed up just yesterday: chocolate chip cookies, chocolate fudge ice cream, strawberry shortcake, pulled pork barbeque, breakfast burritos, chocolate triple-layer cake, chicken salad crossaints, huckleberry milkshakes, chicken enchiladas, pico and salsa galore, and blueberry muffins from scratch. I have realized that my cooking reprituar is very limited. Poor Brad when we get home:) The second is how many trips to town the group cumulatively makes in 1 day. Today was around 9.

Highlights thus far have included the following:

• Logan and I missing our plane after running like crazy people through the airport and meeting the most impossible lady employed by the airlines
• Logan and I waking up at 3:00 A.M. in the Luxor to catch our flight to the Missoula airport, 3 hours away from the desired destination
• Brad getting a blow-out on his way to get us, and the three of us seeing the worst car accident we've ever witnessed directly in front of us
• Brad using zero discretion and letting Logan ride into town with him on the Harley
• Logan putting in atleast 3 hours a day on the waverunner and not allowing anyone else to drive it
• Grandpa building a patio and a sandbox all in one week
• Mike shocking us by arriving with a stunning beard and full mustache. (looks a bit sophisticated but frightens the kids away)

To be continued......
