Summer relaxation?

School is out and it is time to kick back, relax, and have some fun. However, it seems that is not in the cards for me this year. There seems to be a long list that just keeps growing and growing...kind of like the weeds in my strawberry patch. To do list for the summer: 1. Finalize plans for trip to Europe (I absolutely hate vacation planning, but love the end result. Therefore, this is the biggest headache I have currently. I'd like to give the car rental agencies in Cherbourg a piece of my mind... who closes a car rental place in a port town at 5 p.m. when the Ferry doesn't arrive until 7:30 p.m.? THAT threw a wrench in the plans...) 2. Continue to look for different employment options (an ongoing task that started a while back). 3. Finish the kitchen remodel (perhaps by the end of June?) 4. Finish the bedroom closet remodel (perhaps by the end of June?) 5. Paint the upstairs office and move the bedroom pieces that have been in the basement for three years into their rightful spot upstairs (perhaps before the end of August?) 6. Finish planning a baby shower for a close friend 7. Continue running (We've started and now that I'm past the being extremely sore stage, I'd like to keep it up for a while) By the amount of to-do lists I've posted, one would think that we're getting a lot accomplished; yet to be fair I think I'm posting the same things repeatedly. On a slightly different note, the New Year's resolution of one new thing/day has hit the back burner though I'd like to come back to it soon.
