I feel like I'm starting all over again, it's been so long since I've updated. So, I'm feeling a bit awkward and shy and have the whole "where to start?" thing going on to boot. I think I'll just fill you in on what's been going on and see if I can get myself back into the swing of updating.

Last week, I was down the Cape (aka Cape Cod) for my annual 4th of July week vacation. C went with me and it was awesome! I've never, ever been on a vacation with a boy and I was really nervous that we'd get on each others' nerves, have problems sharing the bathroom or some other vacation disaster would go on. None of the above happened! We got along really well, shared the bathroom just fine and just basically loved each other and the time we got to spend away from the daily grind, together. The weather was incredible and there was lots of eating, drinking, relaxing at the pool and beach, and even some karaoke! I think C might have felt awkward now and again with my mother, aunt, cousins etc. there but it was all good (and he and I had a motel room to ourselves so it wasn't like he was forced into too many awkward situations).

A few days before we left, my brother's old band had a "secret" reunion show under a pseudonym at the Middle East Up. They've been broken up for almost 2 years and all the guys are in new bands, but that night was like beer-soaked magic. It was so much fun and it was even better sharing such a great time with C who, while not a huge fan of the band when they were together, likes their music enough and completely gets why I (and quite a few other people) am a huge fan. He said he was happy to see me having so much fun and I know he meant it. I, personally, had never been at a show of theirs with a "date" much less an actual boyfriend and I was proud to share the night with him.

Tomorrow is the band's real reunion show and I am so excited! As their web mistress, I have been making (virtually) daily updates to the site, which has kept me quite busy in the evenings, especially since I was pretty rusty at my updating skills at first. So many people will be at the show tomorrow and I just know it's going to fly by. It's times like that that I want to somehow stop the clock and make the hours go by as slowly as they tend to do at work these days. That's just the way life works, though, huh?

Other than that, not much else is new. I just have to make it through today and all of next week and I'm on vacation again. This time it will be just my immediate family renting a house on the Cape. We had this house last year and it was so comfortable for the whole family and we really did have a great time so my parents rented it again for this year. C is not coming due to a miscommunication between my parents and me. They discussed that he was more than welcome to come for the whole week but would need to sleep in a separate bedroom from me but somehow neglected to tell me. Since they hadn't said anything, I assumed he was not invited. By the time it was brought to light, it was too late for him to get the week off. We're hoping he'll be able to come down for a day or two, but I just don't want to get my hopes up. As much as I loath that we mostly only see each other on weekends, I am not sure how I will survive a whole week without him and he says the same to me. Actually, I have kept that mostly to myself but I like that he says it to me.

Anyway, I guess that's about it for now. I'm going to really try to be better at updating and not stay away for so long again. I'm looking forward to writing about this weekend's show and all that stuff. Hopefully, the weekend will be a smashing success!
