How Much is Too Much...


We have had the hottest weather EVER! Yesterday was adorable and I'll post the video later today or tomorrow of Justin, Ulysses and I utilizing the kiddie pool to the fullest! We made limeade, set up the pool and Justin even designated a foot bath to knock the grass off our feet before entering the pool. The dog loved it and we were all a little cooler in the process. Today is the climax with an expected high of anywhere between 99 and 106. I am going to keep knitting, watch Russian Ark and probably swim in our awesome pool. I am knitting lace for the second time- the first time I gave up after an hour of frustration. My new strategy to complete this beautiful scarf is to write out the chart directions. This way I can still daydream, watch movies or listen to a book on tape while I work away.

So today is my brother-in-laws birthday. This is a good thing and he is a nice guy. The bad part is that my husband never mails his family gifts. He's always late and we always have everything ready to go. I refuse to manage this part of his life because it would be a lot of nagging and I figure his people have known him a long enough time to know it's not a reflection on me!! However, I am off this summer and I think I need to take direct action.
