Social engagements out the wazoo

What is it about Summer that makes people want to get together?

Just today I was looking over my little appointment book, trying to figure out when to use up some of my vacation time, when it occured to me I have something going on every weekend from now through the end of July. I had no idea I had so many friends and more importantly, how many of them liked to hold barbeque's, open houses, wine tastings and general shin-digs.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving the idea of hanging out with everyone. Each function is going to be with a different group of people so I'll have something different to appeal to my many personalities.

The one I'm really looking forwar to though? Next weekend. Long time good friend Erin is having an open house in the fam's new abode about two hours away from here. What makes the idea of driving two hours even more enticing is the fact that wonderful friend Deb is driving up from Virginia and we're going to go together. Sweetening the deal is the fact that Brent is returning from Kenya on Monday and will be joining us at Erin's shin-dig!

I'm so excited I'm already kvetching.

I just need to get through the next week without losing my mind and all will be right with the world.
