Going to the pool about 3 days a week. It has been far more enjoyable than I thought it would.

Trying to not start the back to school countdown. It's JULY people! I'm guessing only about two more weeks until the anxiety laden dreams begin. I will always worry about missing the first day of school due to oversleeping.

Planning a 5th of July BBQ after the Cardinals game. I'm thinking cheesy potatoes and pork steaks. YUM!

Starting to pull together a plan for really decorating the living room. I've learned over the past three years that I have decorating paralysis. I'd rather not do anything out of fear of making the wrong choices. But I will fear no more! I pulled together an inspiration board and I think I'm going to make the first purchase towards this design tomorrow...that sweet-ass fireplace TV console from Wayfair.
Itching to go shopping - birthday month is fast approaching, so I must hold off. I can't wait for all the coupons to start showing up in my inbox.

Waiting ever so patiently for Erin Condren to launch their notebooks. Somehow I've earned $40 to spend through referrals and I'm giddy!

Wanting to be more active - it is so tempting to lay (lie?) on the couch all day and I may have indulged myself a time or two already this summer.

3 hours, 25 minutes.

305 minutes.

You can do a lot in that amount of time, watch Titanic, drive from St. Louis to Cape Girardeau and eat a nice dinner at BG's, paint a small room, even read a good chunk of a book.

Never in a million years would I imagine that 3 hours and 25 minutes would be how long it would take me to get to work this morning.




Normally my commute is just 25 minutes from St. Louis to Chesterfield but due to about an inch of snow that froze the highways, the St. Louis Area was a a parking lot for most of the day. I didn't get to school until 10:30am. I was more than a little tense and really, really had to pee. Some of the students that come in from the city didn't get to school until almost 11:30!

It is still flurrying now and it supposed to stop in about an hour but the temps are headed towards the single digits...maybe there is a chance of a day off school tomorrow. I certainly deserve one after today!
