Odds and Ends

- I’ve noticed that since I quit doing WIWW and even looking at the posts by others, I have not made a single clothing purchase.  When I would see cute stuff that other people had, I wanted it for myself.  That temptation is gone.  It also helps to not set foot in Target or Forever 21.

- I never wear jeans or pants in summer (unless it drops below 70 degrees).  When I see women in jeans—especially skinnies during summer, I cringe.  I mean here in my neck of the woods where it has been 90+ degrees with heat indexes well over 100 everyday for 2 weeks. 

- I also never wear long sleeves in summer—or any sleeves most of the time.  Just my own personal summer rule.

- I hurt my back a month ago and it still hurts.  Not happy about that.

- We took a mini vacation to Green Bay to visit friends.  It was very pretty up there in Wisconsin.

- That 7 hour trip KILLED my back.

- School starts in 3 weeks. Sob.

- School starts in 3 weeks.  Hurray.

- I have accomplished nothing this summer except a really good tan and spending a lot of quality time with my two favorite people!

4th of July…2011

We spent our 4th of July at the lake just hanging out.  It was a gorgeous day and we all had a great time.

The boys fished.

And tubed.

And I got tan.

And they swam.

And they acted like they liked each other.

And they practiced the fine art of sunflower seed spitting.

And then we watched fireworks from the boat.  Truly a lovely summer day!
