Work. Volunteering at the Red Cross and at the RAD class. Choosing a color theme for the re:loom rug. A visit to Sheepish to see the kitty. A new bass guitar for Chloe.
happiness project: blogs + misc (jun)
Thrive!, Project 43 and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. May’s main theme was Volunteer. As I’m now volunteering…

The morning smoothie was a crunchie as we couldn’t take the blender apart to put it together properly. Picked up Chloe’s flute from the repair place. Lunch at Souper Jenny’s. Camille went to L5P on her own to buy some comics. An outing to the Farmer’s Market. Dog park and pool time in the evening.

Spring cleaning, Day 2 : More bedroom work and some craft box work too. After work, I went to volunteer at the Red Cross for a few hours. As our special treat, Chloe and I went to “The Fault in Our Stars”. I won free tickets to a pre-release showing — since it doesn’t open…

While Rob went kayaking, the girls and I had a bit of a “get things done”/decompression day at the cabin. I made a small dent in my to-do list. Camille made macaroons (a day late). Chloe played with her new phone. After a quiet day, we headed home to Decatur where we quickly unpacked.

wanted: three day weekends
After much delibrate thought, I have decided that what I *really* need is three-day weekends. Every weekend, I need a day to decompress from the week – time to nap, read, relax and not be under pressure to take care of people and things. I then need a day to care of all the things…

First day of summer break! To celebrate, Camille, Rob and I went to the dentist for our teeth cleaning! While at the dentist, I won movie passes for “The Fault in Our Stars”. Back at home, we cleaned up and packed up and headed to the cabin for a short weekend in the woods.
photo friday: greek ferries
Once we had booked our “frequent flier” tickets on Delta (maybe our last now with their new oppressive rules), we moved onto the actual planning of our time in Greece. In addition to time in Athens, my top priorities were Knossos (on Crete, not Cyprus) and Santorini. How to get to these islands? In what…
