Are you there August? It's me Pam101

It has been said that this "has been the fastest summer in the history of summers."  Now, Brian Williams didn't say this or anyone important or smart but this quote came from yours truly. 

I am blaming the fastest summer in the history of summers on my non-blogging month of August.  And now it is Labor Day weekend, the non-official but official last weekend of summer.

August was hands down the busiest but yet I feel like I did nothing month of my life. 

And how can I say I did nothing because in a few moments I am going to post photos of everything that I have been doing and you too will shake your head and say, "What do you mean you haven't been doing anything!" 

August was wonderful.  I spent much needed quality time with my favorite Aunt.  I headed to Vegas for the weekend with some of my BFF's and unfortunately didn't make out with JT but we did check out his unbelievable concert at MGM (he is worth every penny).  I made my way to Florida for some family time. Sure, it rained a lot while I was there and I sulked around because I hate using vacation days on bad weather days.  But Florida means family, lounging, drinking and eating.  I did all of those things. Pretty sure I ate a whole Texas Sheet Cake.   I actually took a nap while I was in Florida- and this never happens.  And in between all of these great things we have been celebrating my amazing niece's 8th birthday.  How in the world is she 8 already?   I spent time with Dana and her family and squeezing little baby Delaney's squishy cheeks, we had another Yinzer Dinner and my friend Kylie moved in for a bit while she house-hunts.  So, yea August was hella busy.  Oh, I read a lot!

As a notorious over-planner I have been penciling in upcoming events/activities on the rest of the year and into 2015.  I get a thrill in knowing I have plans but after this month of running everywhere I so want some days of nothing.  But I know me...and when I am doing nothing I feel like I am wasting time. 

I often say I am the most overly ambitious but horribly lazy person.  I have such big ideas/goals but can easily convienve myself to chuck all those ambitious out the window.  Last night for example, I was to blog, replant a flower, assemble new Origami Owl items and then do something with all of the fresh tomatoes Mom101 sent me.  You want to know what I needed and really wanted to do....lay on the couch.  And that's what I did...and I felt lame the whole night.  

So, as September is just a few night's sleep away I again pledge to get back to you all.  I keep you posted on my amazing life and adventures.  

Photograpic evidence of my amazing August

Great time with my niece, Lucy and nephew, Will.  

Delaney is now over 2 months old and couldn't be any cuter, sweeter, squishier and more perfect!

In early August my Aunt Bev came up to Southwestern PA and spent lots of time with us.  We enjoyed girls days, the spa, champagne and my patio and of course we celebrated Lucy's upcoming 8th birthday.  

Wonderful want to kick off August.

 

I may have found the perfect amount of Vegas time! 2 nights and 3 days!  The ladies and I headed to Sin City to see Justin Timberlake, to lounge in the intense heat and drink some cocktails. Oh and to gamble (I lost $80.00).   It was a great weekend ...one that we hope to make an annual thing. 

 

Florida Family Fun!  The kids all had a great time together.  Here is hoping these cousins are as I was with mine.  Seriously cute kids! Not gonna lie though...after 5 days with 4 kids under the age of 7, Aunt Pam was mentally checked out and needed a vacation from that vacation. 

Wrapped up August with a great Yinzer Dinner.  The usual suspects attended this "Endless Summer" themed dinner.  Great food, great friends and of course lots of laughs. Oh and cute babies too!

 

 Lucy signed up for Cheerleading! Time for Aunt Pam101 to bust out the old pom-poms, megaphone and try to remember what I knew 20 some years ago.  Hope I don't break a hip!
