what a lazy day today.  i think some days in the summer should be like that.  caroline is still gone, taking d.c. by storm.  today she even got to go to d.c. cupcakes, which made me jealous.  jake spent the day studying for the act--he said this is positively, absolutely the last time he is going to take it.  he's been scoring a 33 on the practice tests, so if he gets a 33, i will absolutely, positively support his decision not to take the test again.

i saw a rattlesnake today on bountiful boulevard.  it was slithering across the street and someone was trying to put a box over it.  that is the last thing i would do.  i was just glad i was in the car. 

i enjoyed a wonderful hour at the bountiful temple today.  it was the little escape i needed after some stress.

isaac had a make-up baseball game this afternoon--their last game before the tournament.  we were able to win again today, making our record perfect going into the season-ending tournament.  isaac got hit by a pitch (hbp), one of my least favorite outcomes of an at-bat. 

we got a letter from evan and he is fabulous.  i asked craig if he thought evan had been abducted by aliens because he is so positive and entirely happy doing what he's doing.  a blessing to me.

tonight ended with the best burger in town--salt city burger co.  i ordered my regular:  burger medium with avocados, carmelized onions and bleu cheese.
