summer.


I'm beginning to dread the question, "What did you do today?", because my answer seems so pitiful sometimes. I wouldn't trade my days this summer, don't get me wrong, but on a productivity scale, I'd score relatively low.

Thankfully, I have other friends who have down time this summer. Christie had me laughing when I called last week and she said she'd been staring at the tv for 30 minutes, but it was off! I know I'm not alone in this, and again, I wouldn't trade it for the world! I wake up some days with this sadness that the days of sleeping past 5:30 will soon be over.

Let me recount for you my day yesterday, so you have a glimpse what I'm talking about:
6:30 - my body naturally woke up. I made myself fall back asleep
7:30 - again, woke up, made myself go back to sleep
8:30 - woke up and got on my computer...while still in bed
9:30 - finished 'John Rabe' (interesting movie about WW2) while I folded laundry
10:30 - put on shorts/t-shirt and downloaded podcasts and had a quiet time
11 - 1:30 - called Maci and made plans, called Allison, caught up with her while starting my walk, walked to the grocery store to buy fruit, then to Micheal's, then home nice and hot
1:30 - 3 - ate fruit salad and watched Friends and wrote notes to people
3 - 5:30 - walked to the post office and around the lakes and back to mail my notes, and listened to podcasts (actually LOVE this - Marc Driscoll podcasts from Marrs Hill)
5:30 - came home hot and jumped in the pool, met a new neighbor friend
7:15 - 7:45 - went to In-N-Out Burger for the first time in Texas
8 - 9:30 - watched the Bachelorette and looked for apartments online
9:30-11 - neighbors came over and talked over a glass of wine. I also hot glued about 5 cute little headbands
11:15 - read and went to bed

A day in the life...see what I'm talking about? So, be prepared, if you ask me what I've been up to lately, this is par for the course. Not too much. Not too much...

*also, if you have grand ideas for me to do (and acceptable definitions of 'grand' can be as simple as hanging out) let me know

*and finally, the picture is the fruit retrieved from the grocery store during my hectic day. FAVORITE summer snack - any frozen fruit, including frozen bananas. I march to my own beat. No shame.
