Radios are issued, coffee is flowing, the rest of my staff arrives today.

Here we go.

Traded in my bubble necklaces and make up for a couple weeks of training my camp staff [with some incredible views] #camp

This is how I spent my last night of freedom.

Drinking whiskey, playing cards, and s’mores on the stove with my fiancé.

As I sit here at work, our summer staff is showing up! An exciting two weeks of outdoors and training is in my future….And by exciting, I mean exhausting.

Here we go!!!

Sunday

I can’t get away from work. Monday my specialists arrive, Wednesday the rest of the staff arrives. I move out to camp for 2 weeks starting on Monday to train them all. 

Today is full of finalizing things, and preparing for the weeks ahead.

…and a pedicure and shopping. 

Here we go, summer camp!

Sidenote: yes, that’s a deer antler on my kitchen table. I found it while hiking the other day and thought, “That could be an awesome beginning to a sweet craft project.”

Hi, I’m ready to go back to last weekend’s winery now.

• Getting ready for work in 10 minutes. Jeans, a tie-dyed t-shirt, and flip flops.
• Drove to work WITH AIR CONDITIONING in my Jeep!! [thanks, honey!]
• Hiked for an hour in flip flops to set up geocaching [hello cut up feet, and soggy flippy floppy from walking through a creek]
• The above hike resulted in me realizing how terribly out of shape I am
• Wanting to freak out because of stress about 3 times
• Finally finding someone to train the people taking care of our horses this summer!! [this was a major fiasco]
• A few meetings [a couple better than others]
• Mom emailing me the news that she might have found someone to do flowers for the wedding [ya know, the wedding that I haven’t had time to think about the last 3 weeks]

Later, this day will include:

• All of the wine.

When your alarm clock goes off right in the middle of a dream that involves your father wanting to be a male stripper.

It was one of those dreams that is so real and vivid - I woke up literally mad at my dad.

He was worried about money, and thought the only way to go was to be a stripper on the side. So he took my mom, sister and I to this club he was thinking of applying at to make sure it wasn’t too sleazy [is there such a place?] and it was. In my dream, I sat there as a bunch of men in their 50’s ‘performed’ for my family [they sang while they were stripping, so that was fun.] Afterwards, I was pleaing with my dad to not sign the contract to start his stripping career - and HE DID. [gasp!] Then I ran out of the club crying and my alarm went off.

Seriously dreams? Someone interpret THAT one for me.
