Blisterin' hottt!!!

Things I love about summer:
1. bacon & tomato sandwiches (for breakfast, lunch, or supper)
2. the sound of cicadas
3. sleeping late
4. running around with Kari

Things I should get done this summer:
1. Clean out my drawers (didn't I just do this last year?)
2. Weed my bookshelves (more than half are in boxes in the garage and it's blisterin' hot, so....)
3. Organize unfinished projects (well, actually, I think I did that summer before last) and get a timeline of finishing them...before I die (now I understand why people inherit quilt tops)

Things I'm not going to get done:
1. Plant the backyard corner flower bed....because a bunch of some kind of ground cover came up...didn't feel as if I should deprive it of growing
2. Save on the electricity bill....cause when it's triple digits for days on end...I intend to stay cool (hopefully, I'll sweat off some weight)
3. Lose 40 lbs....cause I'm just not feeling motivated enough to do it

Things I am getting done:
1. Create some items for a "magical worlds" theme in the school library: I'm finished with one, have 2 others almost finished, another one about halfway, and a 5th one that I haven't started, but can throw together with a glue gun and a couple of bags of glue sticks
2. Getting ppts and other items prepared for school next year (I know this doesn't fall under vacation!!) Ok...so too much of my vacation is falling under "school work"!!
3. Reading and catching up on movie watching

Things I've discovered this summer:
1. Gelato (lemon and mango)...yummy...and a 1/4 c. is plenty to eat to satisfy
2. Popcorn tortilla chips (don't remember the brand...it was a green bag from Central Market)
3. great cotton hipster panties (you needed to know that didn't you?)

and I'll leave you with a simple, cool drink recipe
