Summer Time

Summer is great, except for the lack of entertaining TV shows. Why do they decide to put all the horrible shows on during the summer. I want to meet the person who thought that was a good idea... For example, "The Gates", it is about vampires living with humans in this protected community, aka Twilight (for TV). That is what I gather from the millions of previews that I saw for it while I watched the NBA finals. Yep. Boring, and over-done. Does anyone else feel my pain. I think we should protest this monstrosity... ok, not really, but it did feel good to get a little dramatic.

Is anyone watching So You Think You Can Dance (award for the longest title goes to...)? I do love this show. It is way better than American Idol.

On another note, I am reading the Lovely Bones, but can't read it before I go to bed because it is scary. I switched from Peace Like a River, which my roommate loves, but I just got lost in all the detailed descriptions and found myself re-reading too much and then would forget what was going on and then would have to re-read again and the cycle would just keep going. I think I was on the first 30 pages for 6 months. A clear sign for me to stop, so anyways, I switched. Maybe some day I will read Peace Like a River.

Well, that was my ramblings for tonight. Aren't you so glad that you just read this. Smile, you just did something good for yourself today.

Forever


I know... I'm sorry.

Well this past week the Byham family went on a trek through the magical world of Disney. The heat and humidity could not keep us away, although, it came very close. Let me tell you people out there, Orlando in the summer time is HOTT!


The first day was spent at Magic Kingdom where we all were able to be a kid again. Look how huge those tea cups are... See how kiddish we look in them!

We all rode on this giant ferry across a man made lake that it took them 3 years to fill with water. Disney had really made his very own world.


But the heat did eventually get to us and we just had to jump in our very own pool!

It was such a great week and we packed in as much as we could, but it really did go by way too fast! I would recommend though if you are going to go to the D-world do it late in the fall or early spring. It was just WAY too hot.

I'm off to do something now.
