friday check-in...

if i can just do two posts a week to get through the summer, maybe life will slow down a little in september, and i'll be able to post more. (i'll just keep telling myself that, huh?)

this week has felt slow - but probably because of that "vacationitis" issue. it seems that having something really fun planned for the weekend always makes the week go slower, and the higher the degree of fun, the slower time passes.

our anniversary on wednesday was fabulous. we had dinner at a new restaurant that just opened in our area called stanford's. there were some kinks - running out of the appetizer we ordered (twice) - but we knew to expect some problems because it's still so new. the service was excellent - despite missing appetizers, they were very apologetic, comped us dessert and otherwise waited on us hand and foot. the food was delicious, and i'd recommend it to anyone. but either wait a few weeks, or plan for a leisurely meal.

so, we're off to sequim this weekend. i'm looking forward to some wandering, some photo ops, and of course, the food and our jacuzzi suite.

since i only have two weeks left of my definition of summer, i thought i'd do a little "goal" check-in:

1. purge & organize our house. (haven't started.)
2. purge & organize my studio. (have made some very basic "tidying" efforts. certainly not enough purging yet. in fact, i did the opposite of purging. see #7.)
3. eat at our picnic table again. (i'd have to cook to do this, wouldn't i?)
4. have friends over to grill. (no time yet.)
5. walk green lake. (hah.)
6. go swimming at the lake once more. (not hot enough.)
7. do some serious scrapbook-related shopping with allie before i lose her to boston for the fall, again. (ta da!!! i guess i was serious when i said "serious" because i did some ... serious ... damage on our adventure last night. there goes my spending money. oops!!)
8. go on a picnic. (again, no time.)

ok, so i haven't accomplished a ton. hoping to do some of the purging next week. weatherman says we're in for rain several days of rain, so that knocks the other 5 of my goals off my list for next week... hmmm.

happy friday!
