So my summer 2015 discoveries and activities:
One of my dearest friends lost her husband in June. It still doesn't seem real. I heard her refer to herself as a widow the other day. So weird.
I'm sure I'm behind the rest of the entire world, but at the urging of Michael I got into "House of Cards"- binged watched the first 16 episodes during one of the many rainy days in June. Had to back off a bit- found myself feeling anxious. Really, really anxious. Such a weirdo. Alissa introduced me to "Sherlock" this weekend. I sense another binge heading my way.
Made my first craigslist purchase and I have to admit, very proud of myself. I've been looking for a buffet or sideboard for the dining room, but didn't have any luck. Stumbled onto to this and thrilled with the quality and value. The addition set off a shift in most of the furniture- nothing says let's move heavy furniture like something new.
Still working out exactly the look I am going for on the sideboard- I'm thinking I'll be pretty seasonal.
Organizing and reorganizing. Rooms, closets, cabinets, drawers. Why does this relax me so?
I'm enjoying my summer tutoring kids. I have a kindergartner, first grader, two second graders, one third, two fourth, two fifth, and a seventh grader. I really enjoy working with all the different ages. I'm really feeling very confident with my decision not to retire this year. I'm enjoying the time off, but I just don't know how I would do this through the winter.
Enjoyed time with kid in Des Moines, kid in Chicago, and kid here. If I can manage to get all three in one place at one time.....nirvana.
We are awaiting the birth of a litter of puppies. Jeff stumbled onto a woman who breeds BTs and the time felt right to begin looking for a new puppy. We are now at the any minute now point. We have dibs on a female- hopefully it won't be a litter of just males. I'm trying to rein in my excitement in case it doesn't happen. I'm trying.
