(Finally) Packing the Suitcase Away

There are many things I haven't kept up with this summer...and blogging is apparently one of them. As school starts, who knows if I'll be able to keep up - I hope I will. I'll have a brand new desk to keep my computer on in our living/dining room here at the apartment (photos to come once I pick it up from the store and assemble it), so there will really be no excuses - I'll finally have real work space! :)

Enough about all that, though...

I must say, I believe I lived the following quote this summer:

- because that's just about what happened. (I haven't used my own closet since the middle of June!)

But it was totally worth it.

However, things are finally settling down - back in Chicago to get ready to start the school year. (No more "big" trips till October - phew!) The suitcase is stored under my bed, and clothes are hanging in the closet as I try to get all the wrinkles out.

I'm glad to be home, yes, but I wouldn't trade this past summer for the world. As the final days of summer wind down, it's time to wind up for school mode. Let's go!
