Forty.

Summer's here, summer's here.

It's amazing how excited I was for summer before it arrived, but now that it's here I almost feel dazed.  Prior to the warm weather, in that last stretch of winter, I was day dreaming of summer fun, making lists of things to accomplish and look forward to.  Cambodia definitely changed my view a bit, as in gave me many other things to think about.  In a good way.  But it is as if summer has come up so quickly that I feel as though I'm still in the pre-stage when in reality I am all in, and wasting some of it thinking otherwise!

But all the same, the fact is that summer has arrived.  It will be good to me I think.  It's amazing 

how different this summer is from the last.  How quickly things change!  This summer finds me more grown up, more independent, single (and content with that title), and more hopeful for the future than ever.  And as of today, burnt (as you can see from the picture).

I want to write something captivating or hilarious for you.  Right now I'm fresh out of both, so I'll wrap up now.  Maybe next time, stay.. tuned?

CORRECTION: (added one day later)

For captivating and hilarious, see below.

So Italy is in the Euro Cup apparently.  Although I'm not really following, it was easy enough to figure out, as by 4 o'clock the corner of Bar Italia on Corydon was filled with Italians screaming 

and flag waving at traffic.  Joelle and I had to pass by them, and it was pretty ackward trying to 

get through the crowd.

All around us were people shouting "Go Italy" and various other pro-Italy cries, until suddenly as we walked through, these cries changed to: "CLEANING LAAADIESSSS!!!" (for those of you who don't know, Joelle and I work outside cleaning, therefore one could deduce that they are shouting about... us).  

I was pretty mortified.  Afterwards I found it in me to laugh my head off about it, and about how red my face got when the whole crowd was shouting a unified chorus of "cleaning ladies".  

Wow.
