Weekly Wrap-Up

I want to keep things simple this summer.  So, here's my to-do list: 1. Swim  2. Read   There are a few other things I would like to do, including some crafting, but I am not making those things my goals.  Because the summer will not be a failure if they don't get checked off.  It is selfish, but I want summer to be summer.  I will be working as usual, and I don't want every spare minute planned.  I want to enjoy the summer with my family.  (That is a lot of "I wants", but I might as well tell you how I honestly feel.  If I do happen to craft anything, I will of course share.)

I am a little bit jealous of people who have their own (nice) pool in their backyard.

I am noticing that I have to stop at the store less often for food.  I like that.  Since our milk, eggs, produce, and some meat are coming from local sources, now, I don't have to restock at the store as often.  I can shop for the remaining items a month at a time (or more) and not worry about them going bad (some stuff, like cheese, can go in the freezer).

This Easy Baked Apple Oatmeal looks so yummy and semi-healthy (@ Tammy's Recipes).

The library notified me that my turn came up on the waiting list for The Omnivore's Dilemma.  I have it now and am looking forward to an interesting read.

I really should go fold some laundry now.
