Tori came to stay the night last night. Apparently, Allyson and Mitch went and got tattoos before they came to drop her off. Now Tori says she’s going to get a tattoo when she’s grown up. And Blaine also decided to dye his hair - blue black. Mom wasn’t too pleased about that, but then again I don’t know that she’s ever really pleased.

I guess this year we’re going to Kentucky Kingdom for vacation. It’s also been decided that Mitch isn’t going, which has helped in my decision to go. I wasn’t sure I wanted to at first, but if he isn’t going, then at least there’s one less annoyance to worry about. Last year he sent everyone into a terrible mood.

On Father’s Day there was this show in TV. I’m not really sure what it was called, but it was about vacation places. One of the places was a log cabin, and there was this one room in the place that had saddles, shoes of every size, skiing equipment and a bunch of other stuff for pretty much all seasons of the year. They said that the place could please even the most difficult of critics. Mom and I mused that if Blaine and Trey could go there and be appeased, then that statement would be true. They are both extremely hard to please. I don’t think Trey is going with us to Kentucky Kingdom, though, so again that’s one less person to aggravate.

I guess we’ll see how that goes and see how we all fare. We’re not going until next month. I think we’re going on a Tuesday and Wednesday in hopes that it’ll be less crowded those days.

I cannot believe it’s June already. Granted, it’s only been June for two days, it still seems unbelievable that we’re into the sixth month of the year. That means there are only six more moths left of 2008, and that’s just too bizarre to fathom.

This afternoon I lounged around on the front porch while Tori rode her tricycle. She can actually reach the pedals this year. I can’t get over how big she is. It must by mind boggling for Allyson. Of course, I can’t believe my sister is almost 20. I always think of her as still being thirteen. I wonder if it’ll always be that way.

The weather was nice. It was sunny, but there was a breeze. It would have been perfect for walking, but then I think about getting out in the sun and that horrible sunburn I got last year, and I just shrink back. It would be perfect if we had a treadmill on the front porch. I’d still be outside, but out of the sun. I guess we can’t have it all.
