….just not feeling bloggy this summer! I’m updating little stuff on Facebook quite a bit, but I haven’t felt like there is anything going on substantial enough to talk about here.
No news is good news – all is status quo….

Last one of the group to post this, LOL!

1. Any vacations planned this summer, if so when/where?

A long weekend in NC with our friends S & W and no-longer-baby O.
A weekend in Williamsburg for J’s birthday.
A long weekend in NJ visiting friends.
Hoping to squeeze in a trip to Chicago.
My cousin’s wedding in CT over Labor Day.

Not summer…but possibly Spain in October…hmmm….

Glad to not be traveling as much this year!

2. Any home improvement/landscaping projects planned for this summer, if so what?

We have SO many things we’d like to do, and the list keeps growing. Landscaping is done, but now we’re eyeing windows, and new counters has all of  a sudden become gutting the kitchen, and doing our master bath, replacing the two remaining old toilets, putting in an attic fan. Replacing shutters. Painting the living room and hallway, probably our bedroom.
I don’t think our pocketbook is big enough, so I’m sure something will give.

3. Did you purchase flowers to plant yet? Or is that not your thing?

I don’t have any flowers, really, but we did plant the container garden and a couple of weeks back, J ripped out a ton of ivy and we put in some new shrubs.

4. Do you plan on hitting the beach this summer?

Probably not. I’ve never been a big beach person in the summer.

5. Have you got any new summer wardrobe items? If so what?

A bunch of capris. I don’t do shorts (rarely, anyway).

6. Flip flops or wedges?

Flip flops. A large quantity of Old Navy flip flops. Of which, I’ll probably mostly wear my white ones or my black Reef ones.

7. Do you tan or burn?

I tan – except my legs. They don’t tan at all. But, I’m pretty constantly wearing sunscreen, so while I do end up getting a little color through it anyway, I hope to avoid burning for sure! I know too many people who have had skin cancers.

8. Any good summer reads you care to share?

Not really reading anything – I’m a magazine girl in the summer. Usually junk like People.

9. Favorite summer beverage (alcohoic or non)

Non-alcoholic – Iced tea
Alcoholic – Mojitos or Corona with lime

10. Do you enjoy any summer sports or activities, if so what?

It’s nice to just be able to be outside – I walk outside a lot.

11. Any goals you’re working towards this summer?

Taking off those winter few pounds, continuing to improve my marriage, keeping on track to our finances being in better shape. Being nicer to my moody stomach.

12. Favorite summertime food?

Anything grilled.

13. Favorite summertime fruit?

I’m allergic to a lot of fruits, but I do love watermelon, peaches on the grill, and cherries (which make me break out in hives, but I eat them anyway).

14. Favorite summertime song/music?

To be determined.  Every summer ends up having “a song” or “an album” – but we’ll see what it ends up being after summer’s over!

15. Plans for any summer lovin’ ?

Um, I should hope so!
