Usually I hate this time of the year (mainly due to the heat and humid air) but once I'm really gratefull that summer is here!

So far, my father and I have seen a few free movies, had a mini-picnic in Millenium Park and been to a museum or two this summer...and it's only June!

I know I never had a really good relationship with my mom until the last year of her life...but I think she would be happy that we are kinda moving on with our lives.

Now I don't...

I'm moving out all by myself in a few days. It'll be a little scary having all of the responsibility for bills and things on my shoulders but I'm excited.

The best part will be the independence. I've never been on my own. Hopefully it will force me to grow up a bit, not too much though.

The worst will be no internet, at least for a couple of weeks til I sort myself out. I'll go to my folks to use theirs.
I also have to leave my two cats behind They...

Its been such a long time since I actually wrote a real letter.
I send notes and cards all the time, that doesn't count.
I'm talking about a real letter, like maybe a whole page or two.
I think people still like them.
I'm gonna try and write at least one a week to old friends, relatives, maybe even my crack-addict local congressman
