Well - today is the first day of this blog. My sister started a blog to share family adventures and that has very much inspired me to post my random thoughts and adventures. I'm in for a crazy busy week. I have to finish up 2 classes, including an exam, a discussion question and a paper due today. More assignments due this week, which I want to get done by Thursday night. My classes technically end on July 1. I can finish up one for sure, but the final exam for my psychology class is not open to us yet. I need to get my house cleaned up and pack up my suitcase. I'm of for 2 weeks in Wisconsin. A week of work remote and a week of vacation. I was asked to serve beer Thursday to help out and probably will. I also want to get some "projects" done in the house - like reworking my guest room a bit, hanging some artwork, and beyond that - going through cabinets and cleaning them out a bit. Its time to get rid of some old stuff I just don't use. I need to reorganize the kitchen to provide better access to things I do use frequently. I also just got a breadmaker and am excited about starting to make my own bread again soon. So, I imagine I'll be researching some recipes. I realize now that we are one month through with summer, I"m about to be gone for 2 weeks, so half the summer will be gone, and I haven't accomplished much of what I wanted to...so I guess when I get back - I have to start spending some weekends camping and exploring more of the state. Time to get back to hiking and being outside.
