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.

Bet you could do your one new thing/day if it was a summertime potpourri--at the end of a day just list one new thing you did, or substitute two things you are grateful for, without having any set category. You would have an interesting list by Labor Day with all your plans!!

Lots of plans! We are also working on number 1, but I haven't even gotten our flights worked out, so you win.
And running, um, well, I sort of ran today, but I managed to trip and scrape my leg (mostly my ego), guess I was too busy checking out what my neighbors were doing to their yards.
good luck with everything!
When are you off to Europe?
Kristen,
Thanks for commenting, I was hoping to get in contact with you before we leave. We'll be in London the evening of July 4th and morning of July 5th before heading out to Portsmouth and taking the ferry to Normandy. Would it be possible to get together that evening for dinner (I'm not sure how far you are from London these days)? Feel free to email me (its the same email as before) or respond to this comment. It would be great if we could get together, even if for just a bit!
