Summer is FLYING by! All of a sudden, the fourth of July has passed and there's nothing but school to look forward to. Ugh. I'm secretly looking forward to back-to-school time. My life gets a lot less crazy!

Here's to the most casual Pi I know - Phil. I met Phil my freshman year of college and we've been best buds ever since. Phil is the type of fellow that would give you the shirt off his back (only after he's thrown up on yours! Kidding, kidding!), throw his jacket over a puddle and hold open every door. He has a lucky girl and is the nicest guy you'll ever meet.
July 23: Gorgeous Grandma Day, Hot Enough for Ya Day, Vanilla Ice Cream Day
Nana - my paternal grandma! Gorgeous inside and out with a huge heart and passion for her family.
Grandma Winkler - my maternal grandmother. June, also known as Judy, passed away before I really had the opportunity to get to know her. But I do know that she was gorgeous.


So, to my three very gorgeous grandmas. I wouldn't be the woman I am today without you. Thank you for showing me what class, tact and inner beauty are all about.
Rita - my step-grandma! I must admit I'm pretty lucky to have three grandmothers! Rita never ceases to amaze me with her love and caring spirit. I am so glad I have the relationship with her that I do.

A very wise woman once told me to stop using the word "overwhelmed" and start calling it something else. . . "overchunked". . . to soften my body's reaction to the emotion. Anywho, I have been feeling rather *overchunked* lately and I am trying to catch my blog world up with my reality world. I was on staycation (I'm sorry!) but hadn't had one free moment to devote to my teeny miniscule almost non-existent part of the World. Wide. Web. Enjoy!

June, ladies and germs, has been (and will more than likely continue to be) a VERY hot and busy month for us at Casa del McWojcik. Camping, hiking, working, haircuts, invisilign and lasik! Please forgive me for bombarding you, but if I don't chunk these together now, I'll be tempted to skip the month of June all together! And we wouldn't want that, now would we? Enjoy your June and stay cool, Colorado!
Healthy Mexican Grilled Corn on the Cob for Corn on the Cob Day!!
First of all, I LOVE nooks. I love the WORD nook! This lovely bed nook with book storage would be the perfect place to celebrate Loving Day. If you know what I mean. *wink*wink*
Wouldn't you just DIE if you could be here? It's so dry here in Colorado, I'm pretty sure I would gain 10lbs of water due to my skin soaking it all up! Happy World Ocean Day!
Can you see them?? I'm wearing Invisilign (or something like it) for the next 3 1/2 months. It's pretty sweet - painful for the first week, but you totally forget about that by the time you're due to switch your trays and the pain is back again! Totally worth it, don't get me wrong, it's the nature of the beast! To celebrate Smiling Power Day, I'll be smiling at 100 people. Think you could do it?? Get out there and share that smile power!
