Well summer started off with a bang :)

I'm sitting in bed, at nine in the morning, drinking a cuppa coffee, and watching the Today Show. It is finally summer! While the weather outside would argue this point with me, I finally feel like the beginning of a break is upon me. This morning I got up, cleaned the kitchen, made a delicious edemame & Romano cheese omelet, and then I cleaned out my bathroom drawers and wiped down the counter. And pretty soon I think I'm going to take a nap :)
Then it's time to work on my dissertation and work out. This is probably how a lot of my days this summer are going to go and I am SO excited for that! I've been running around here and there and everywhere- Indiana for a wedding, Salem to work at the clinic for my dad, the beach for a women's retreat with my church girls, etc... But now it's mostly just little things here and there with breaks in between and lots of days like today.

My long-term goals for the summer (in no particular order):
1) Finish my dissertation
2) Write my internship application essays
3) Grow a successful patio garden
4) Accomplish all of my random house cleaning/maintenance projects
5) Complete at least 5 of my sewing projects
6) Figure out which sites I plan on applying to for internship
7) Conquer my allergies through an all-natural regimen
8) Meet Dave's family in Delaware
9) Pass my skills requirements for roller derby
10) Start a quality scrapbook
11) Help my mom design and create her ideal bedroom
12) Assist my dad in the garden in Salem so we can grow all the yummies we want to
13) Pick, and can or dry or freeze or jammify, as many fruits as possible
14) Go through my entire wardrobe and sell or donate whatever I don't really use

And I'm sure I'll add some more to this list but for now, this is all I can think of, LoL! Alright, time to work on my dissertation a bit and then take a nap (YAY!). I love you all :)
