Oh my goodness! Busy, busy week. Hope you had a great week! Thank you all so much for your help in my prior post. Here’s the update on the summer fun.

The circus. Check. Fabulous again this year.

Catching fire flies. Check. Check. And check.

Cardinal’s game. Check. They lost but it was still great fun.

Race for the cure. Check. So much more I’d love to say about this. In a word: (completely) inspiring.

Vacation plans. In process. Hope to post my travel planner very soon. (It’s a scrapbook / travel planner combo… at least it is in my mind. We’ll see how it turns out.) I’ll share pics soon.

Thanks for all the recommendations on Seattle hot spots … super excited about that leg of the trip in particular. Look where I’m staying. My friend lives there. (Don’t tell her … but I might just decide to move in.)

Flip flops and cotton skirts. Check.

Organizing my closet. It’s confirmed. I purged too deep. Jay has even commented on how empty my side of the closet is. Which could be a good thing when it comes time to fill it back up.

Speaking of filling it back up, have you heard the definition of insanity? Here it is, courtesy of Benjamin Franklin:

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

Why I thought the tank tops from Old Navy would look any better on me this week than they did last week is still a mystery…and proof that I’m insane.

But there is hope, thanks to all of you. This book and this one are on the way…so maybe the insanity and emptiness (closet emptiness in case I’m not the only one getting lost in this post) will come to an end soon. (Although the books seem to be on the slow boat to Edwardsville … so perhaps I should make a trip to the library this weekend for the other book you recommended.)

Ice-cream cones. Check. Uh … maybe that helps to explain the insanity. Ha 😉

OK … off to organize my trip…which is only two weeks away…which clearly means my books better get here soon!!!!!! (Or I’m packing a big bottle of Tide so while I’m away I can repeatedly wash the very few garments that survived the great closet purge!)
