A July summer in NY is HOT and humid

Well, today is a record high day! 97 and with the humidity caressing you, the feel like temperature is 105!!!! Triple digits, friends. And I left the house today with the girls because we had comps to SI Yankee Kids day. Yeah! A very nice turnout with those giant blowup things that the kids love to "get on or in", playing frisbee, hula hoop, and water balloon toss with the team members. Fabulous. Did anyone notice that ball players are extremely handsome?

Other summer highlights-

My sons Graduation from High School and college bound

We have a pumpkin growing in our backyard! I absentmindedly tossed a rotted pumpkin in our yard, left it, it magically and mysteriously was planted (I assume by some of the wonderful backyard animals and magical creatures lurking around) and Viola! Or, Presto! Or, Sha-Bam! (etc., etc.-please feel free to fill in your favorite magical word there) Pumpkin growing (high singing voice)!

Another baby blanket completed. OMgosh, I am into crochet. You can do it in your bed, propped up on pillows watching your favorite movies or tv series. And I so feel like I am getting things done when I crochet in bed. 

Eat, Pray, Love.....Exactly

Spring Cleaning

I live my life late. I am constantly backed up with chores. Why? Because I am always hanging out with Procrastination. Kinda my bestie for a while now. I will have to get me a better, more productive new friend.
So, I have begun spring cleaning in July. I am trying to avoid using the products that are bad for the environment and going the clean but natural route. Therefore, my cleaning bucket contains


Mrs. Meyers wonderful smelling (aromatherapy for the home) household cleaners. They work on dirt. And, they make me feel upbeat and no sick feeling while I get the jobs done. Yes, JOBS. I think with all the work I have to do, I will be cleaning clearly until the fall.

I haven't gone to see the new Twilight Eclipse movie yet. And, I don't think I will. Priorities come first. And, I usually fit mine somewhere around next to last depending on how highly I need it. Priority list looks something like

1.GOD
2. Kids
3. Eat
4. Hygiene
5. Laundry
6. Work (huh?)
7. Home
8. Me

I think that's about right!
