I believe this is the longest period I&#39;ve gone between<em> I Found Some Blog<\/em> stories. It&#39;s truly been a crazy summer. I took Mr. Cher Scholar to Truth or Consequences for a hot springs soak for his birthday in early June. Then my mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to visit from Kansas. Then two of our friends came to visit from Los Angeles. Then I went on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigbangpoetry.com\/2014\/08\/walking-with-poetry.html\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">a poetry field-trip with a group of women from The Georgia O&#39;Keeffe Museum<\/a> (talk about some heavy fans, women who love Georgia O&#39;Keeffe!). Then Mr. Cher Scholar and our two fur-kids went camping. Then I went on an 11-day family reunion at Bandon-by-the-Sea in Oregon. Then I came home and had a colonoscopy. Then I had to spend a week or two catching up on my other projects and thinking about my upcoming job transition and Mr. Cher Scholar&#39;s upcoming job transition, as he just found a new job. I&#39;d be more exhausted but I&#39;ve been working out still (since my Cher Scholar post on working-out) and I&#39;ve found a few new interesting gurus.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, when I was on my way to Oregon and in a motel, I saw a crazy infomercial for a new skin care line <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulta.com\/ulta\/browse\/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod5260077\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Periccone MD<\/a> that promotes some pseudo-scientific substance Cold Plasma Sub-D.
