    Today I spent an insane amount of money for dance intensives and team fees AND I enrolled Christina in ten dance classes starting this fall. On top of this, she will need to have weekly private lessons to prepare her trio for competition. She better really love dance, yo. And thank the high holy heavens that Robin hates cheerleading now. Crikey.

    Days at the pool are running out. I was sad that Robin wouldn’t come with us. Someday maybe we’ll have our own pool.

    45… the day was pretty good. I loved spending the morning at the beach, alone, so peaceful. I left when all the families started arriving and went to lunch with my own family. Raised a glass to my mom and shared stories with the kids. Spent hours making a delicious cake with Robin. Christina told me what her gift was hours before she gave it to me (cannot keep a secret to save her life). I had a massive headache in the late afternoon until bedtime, but it did subside. I didn’t have the highest expectations, but the day turned out pretty well.

    I didn’t get to the pool yesterday, thanks to the weather, so I took the day off from work and went this morning. I did not regret it. I always forget how refreshing the water is when it’s 102 degrees outside. Then we watched the Olympics opening ceremony, which was FOUR HOURS LONG OMG, but still pretty cool. Good day.

    Robin and I enjoyed an hour at the beach after dropping off Christina at camp. The waves were huge (by our standards) and even I went in the water to let them splash over me. It was so refreshing and we had fun laughing at each other as we got bowled over. We went and got coffee and breakfast at Panera and finished the day with an awesome dinner at European Street Cafe. Robin ate the world’s biggest hot dog, which is her favorite. And she ended her meal with the world’s largest gummy bear. Go big or go home!

    The pool at the Y finally opened for the season, so I used my day off from work to go with the girls. Life calls for more pool days!
