The Relevant Conference starts tomorrow – some of my favorite online friends will all be gathered in one place, and I so wish that I was going to be there!

But, my girls Teri Lynne and Sandra aren’t leaving me out in the cold…

“Flat Kristi” is going to Relevant!!

Hee hee… thanks, friends, for making my day! :)

If you haven’t picked up on it, I tend to be a rather intense person. Sometimes I wish I could just stop thinking so much about e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. One cannot take life seriously all the time. And so, I do love me some stupid humor.

Come laugh with me. :)

This SNL sketch makes me laugh just thinking about it!

Tim Hawkins cracks me up:

…and if only I could find a clip of 30 Rock with Dr. Spaceman talking about diabetes…

Laughter is good medicine! :) What do you love to laugh with?

This weekend we had a staff reunion at the camp my husband and I counseled at during college. It is where we met, where NP proposed a year later, and home to lots of good memories with good friends. NP and I were blessed with the opportunity to leave the kidlets with their “pretend grandparents” and enjoy the weekend kid-free, which made it even better! :)

I found myself continually thinking that the current staff looks so young. In our heads we are still college-age, but lo and behold… we’re not. Seriously, I looked that young and parents entrusted their children to me for a whole week. They trusted me to take them on hikes and not lose them or let them get covered with poison ivy. They trusted me to take them to a rifle range and archery range and not shoot one another (did they think I really knew what I was doing?!) That, my friend, is crazy.

Why is it crazy? Because when I worked at camp we did things like this:

And wore things like this:

And sometimes on the weekends we might do this:

Wouldn’t you want me to watch over your child during dangerous activities at camp? :)

The camp has changed quite a bit since we worked there, but for the most part I think we former staffers are pretty much the same (aside from looking older than we think we do!). I could show you some embarassing pictures from this weekend to prove that we haven’t really changed all that much… but I will refrain.

Here are some blog-worthy pictures from our fun weekend:

Taking a ride on Kronk the horse (trail rides were more fun when I knew the wranglers and they would let me keep my horse way back and then run to catch up with the kids!) ;)

Gorgeous! We pass this pond on the road to camp, and since we were down last the water is covered with these huge pink waterlilies on steroids! :)

This donkey just roams the camp – he is a new addition since we worked there. And he really could care less if you take pictures with him. This one is just for you, blog readers.

I hope that you have a wonderful Labor Day weekend – even if it doesn’t involve riding a horse, hugging a donkey, or camp food. :)

The first carousel ride! (We’re having a great time at Grandma’s house!)
