The calendar says it's August and the weather seems suitably sticky, so I suppose it is.
I've been resisting the urge to take a nap all day, but the good news is that in less than 10 days I can take a nap anytime I want - we'll be on vacation! No work + rented house by the water + books + bikes + drinks + naps = yes, please!
In the meantime, you can read about what I've been up to below, and please visit Anne's blog to see what she and others have been up to 'currently.'
choosing - I started writing about my indecision related to getting a hair cut, but got annoyed by my whining and made an appointment. It's been bothering me for a while, so it's time for a refresh.
consuming - a lot of mindless iPad games this past week. Why does zoning out with a book or other non-screen activity seem so hard?
enjoying - the delicious bounty of summer fruit and vegetables. Because they are so good on their own, simple recipes are the best, and because they're so good for you, there's plenty of room for ice cream afterwards (or so I like to believe!)
ordering - having not cleaned out anything in these months at home, plus adding items to two recent online orders just to qualify for free shipping, I'm trying not to buy anything online in August. I'll make an exception for pickles and kimchi from the farmer's market though.
remembering - what it's like to devote several weeks to biking and building up endurance. We did this last year to get ready to bike across Iowa, and I need to start doing again to fulfill my desire of spending my birthday weekend in late September biking and camping along the Great Allegheny Passage.
