Making Lists: Grocery lists, blogs posts to complete, picture books to read, potential dresses to wear to two fall weddings, recipes to try, blog post ideas, remaining summer to-dos, house chores, card challenges to complete.  Yeah, it's been a listing kind of week.

Around the house: It's a never-ending battle with crap on the floor.  I'll clean the living room, get a glass of water, and when I return, it's a disaster again.  I live constantly with Hurricane Arthur.

Watching: We finished Cowboy Bebop this past week.  Holy cow!  What an ending!  But I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how much I actually enjoyed the show.  After Cowboy, we watch The Empire Strikes Back and Star Trek: The Voyage Home.  We then started The Big O to continue with our anime series.  I finally finished S1 of Reign and caught up on my random short videos.  Now to catch up on The Daily Show...

Wondering: Why can I never get 5 full minutes of silence?  Oh wait, I remember.  I have three boys...

From Nature: While various other parts of the country experienced storms for the Fourth, we had gorgeous clear skies with temps in the 70s.  The nice temperature made our pool part BBQ with an unheated pool actually enjoyable.  The water was much warmed than I thought it would be.  The twins and the babies (with some parents) swam while the adults drank beer and ate yummy BBQ chicken.  My kind of Fourth of July!

Project: I've embarked today on a major blog focus.  Right now I'm working about a day ahead on my two blogs.  Usually that's more like a week ahead for my weekly routine posts.  Because I'm not ahead like I should be, I've been having some mild panic attacks about the blog.  I even had a few nightmares!  I decided to schedule in some alone time at the coffeehouse to work on posts and back end organization.  I also signed up for the Spark e-course to help restart my creative flow.  I'll let you know how it goes...
