Summer Monday

Happy summer Monday evening. :)

Well, we worked for hours yesterday on the front bed, and six loads of mulch later, it is done and may I say, it looks darn nice! (you'd think I'd have taken at least one photo of the finished product---sheesh). One thing I re-learned yesterday, though, is how much I dislike working in the heat. Hate. It. My shower felt absolutely wonderful at the end of the day!

As usual, today didn't go as planned, which is why I tend to write my plans in pencil. My middle daughter and I headed out to Barnes and Noble midday and got home around 4:30! I had no idea we'd be gone that long, but I so enjoy spending time with my children...they are such fun. :)

Once home, I sat out back with my husband and read a few chapters to him from the new book I just bought. It's called There's a Porcupine in My Outhouse by Michael Tougias and it is funny. Bob (my husband) went to school with Mike and I've loved his writing for years. This book is considered a New England essay which mainly takes place in Vermont, my favorite place. We both laughed out loud more than once.

Later, while stalking checking out the author on Facebook, I found out that Mike and another author are offering a one-day writing/publishing workshop this fall. Why does that matter you ask? Well, I'm going to write a book. There. I said it. And not knowing how, I asked both God and The Universe to send me someone to guide; voila--I find this workshop today! How cool is that?? I'm so excited and plan to sign up tomorrow. Don't you just love how God and The Universe work?

Ok, I'm off. Only one hour til Cake Boss comes on and we do love that show! See ya.
