summer fun.. are you having any?

Christine · Coach

Yep, work has been crazy this summer for me as well. Next week my bf and I are going on a beach vacation -- it's also my family's annual get-together. I can't wait!

Other than that, I haven't done anything else exciting this summer. It's hard to get away sometimes.

Kitty · Hermes

My University shuts down completely for two weeks in December/January, so I typically just add my vacation on to that time and get a fatty 5 week vacation. So, we don't usually take trips in the summer - we take them in December/January.

I am starting to get major burn out. I may take a day off next week just for fun.

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

Not really. I'm still a little upset/depressed that I'm trapped in Iowa for the whole summer, since I had to cancel my previously planned vacation

Stupid layoff that caused a million problems......

I am definitely not having enough fun this summer. Money is tight. BF and I need a vacation badly too.

However, I did manage to do a few fun things:

Christine from this forum came and stayed w/me in June. That was a blast shopping and hanging out.

Another girlfriend of mine from highschool, whom I haven't seen in years just came and stayed w/me a few weeks ago.

BF and I have been hanging out at his parent's pool practically every weekend w/his family and we always have a lot of fun together.

Metric · Gucci

yes. that is all I can say for now.

No, I'm seriously not. DH went to Ireland & England without me & I'm still a little jealous over it. Even though his dad paid for the whole thing it still put us out about $1,500 (stuff he needed for the trip + spending $$ + he paid for a few meals). And the only trips I get to go on are to see my family which is not a vacation at all. The heat is so severe it's seriously just miserable to even walk outside, much less do anything fun.

Upside is that I'm planning a weekend in Vegas with girlfriends & DH & I are going to NY in November. But as far as I'm concerned, this summer sucks.

been soo busy at work, then bf moved away... but i do leave for jamaica next week for his bday so let the summer fun begin!!!

halleybird · Hermes

Mine is over. I am back to work.

kenzie · Chanel

Nope. I'm stuck in the most boring place on earth, I don't know that many people here and the shopping is terrible. And I don't have a vacation in site b/c I have so much work to do that if I took a vacation, I would lose my mind when I came back to the mountains of work.

greendiamond · Marc Jacobs

Nope. I'm in school, as is hubby. My family has been in and out of the hospital and we are renovating the bathroom, and are more than $1000 over budget. I've had more fun in a summer...

Dizzy · Marc Jacobs

Highlights so far:

Starting a blog, named after my user name here: Dizzy Does It...

Making a bunch of new friends who are as much fun as the ones I left behind in Kentucky, and much more compatible with me than most of the other people in law school.

Taking classes at the business school, and discovering I love the professors, it's mututal, and finance is seriously how my brain works.

Hiring a cop/stripper to bust a "noise violation" at a friend who was angry with his roommate and called ina noise violation on HIS OWN HOUSE the weekend prior.

Cooking a lot.

Enjoying being me, the me that freaks out everyone at this school so darn much, and deciding it really doesnt' matter (obviously this is easier when I don't have to see them all every day).

Getting possibly the best "you're fired" story ever. The woman who fired me didn't know who I WAS. And fired me for something I didn't actually DO.

Getting a writing job at another online magazine too.
