Good to Be Back!


Greetings! Oh, my, it is so good to be back! Now that summer is here I can finally free my inner Stepford wife. Although I've been on "vacation" since Friday, today feels like the first, full day of summer vacation and what a busy day it has been!

First of all, woke up to my three sweet girl ratties. Made myself coffee and kissed the husband good-bye. Then I made my own breakfast, finished my coffee, and went on a nice, long walk (need to get back into top Stepford wife shape!). Showered. Called a girlfriend of mine for lunch, but she was busy so I made my own lo-cal dish. Then it was off to the library to indulge in a stack of summer reading. (For starters, Sue Grafton's B Is for Burglar.)

Once home, I just sat on the sofa reading my book and watching episodes of Murder She Wrote. (I just love how she manages to solve each case with poise and manners.) I finally felt ready to do battle! I emptied the dish washer, cleaned the kitchen, took out some recycling, stored my classroom materials (4 crates of stuff), and did a load of laundry. I really wanted to make the husband something wonderful for dinner, but we're on the Primal Diet and all his old favorites are not PD friendly. So, I figured I'd just do his usual chores for him so that he can relax this evening. Honestly, I think he'd appreciate that more.
