"What I did on my Summer vacation". And, drumroll...a giveaway!<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">My lovelies...how I've missed you! It's been months since I've written ... I really didn't want to be away so long. "What I did on my Summer vacation" ? - house / garden / pet sit for my brother. And house / pet sit for my parents. Back and forth... 2 different states. I helped out my sister a bit with her daycare kids when I was "around". "Something" had to be put on hold....my blog. And maybe a little bit of my sanity. *shrugs my shoulders*</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">2 houses, a big garden, countless plants ( I lost count actually.) 3 dogs, 2 cats, 1 bird and fishies.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">The chaos... the woodchuck attack (May you rest in peace. I tried to save you.), the maggot incident, the house alarm going off at 2am, the phone issues, computer issues, the heat wave, the angel who sent over an airconditioner, the time I got to spend with my nieces, the wine buying excursions, the MUCH needed day in NYC for my birthday with my brother and his girlfriend and a brand spankin' new camera lens. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">It's the one-ish year anniversary of my blog debut!<br />
You know what I was doing a year ago? House sitting. yep. Pet sitting, uhhuh.<br />

"Oh Jesus. What have they done to your novel Jane?" </div><div style="text-align: center;">Interestingly enough I have heard good reviews. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So, I decided not to judge this book by it's cover.<br />
Although I am not a Zombie fan, </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll have to read it myself. <br />
Of course, while sipping something hot from my new mug!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> (keeping fingers crossed!)<br />

I'm so sad to see these characters go. This show was fun and the characters were memorable. Crazy, ruthless, wacky, and loving. Betty took on MODE and the fashion world, where she didn't fit in and conquered it. Wilhelmina said "I never thought I'd say this, but you've got big balls, Betty Suarez." I love the way they wrapped up Daniel and Betty's storyline especially. They didn't throw them together romantically. That wouldn't have been realistic. But the "possibilty" of them as a couple IS there. And they will always have a great bond no matter what. They wouldn't be where they are without each other and they know it. How great would it be if Daniel ended up working as Betty's assistant? He went to London for her and wants a new start in life. He did say maybe he'd submit his resume. I will miss all the characters, most of all Betty. The kind of girl you want in your corner. Have fun in London Betty!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The quality of light is so unique at this time and when the smell of the flowers is strongest during the summer. This phrase also refers to Paris, prior to World War 1, which was considered to be "a time of innocence." <br />
