*sat on the front porch and finished my book

*potted some plants

*took a nap in the sun with Bea

*went out for a wonderful Italian dinner

*watched a horrible movie

*broke down the 247 cardboard boxes that David has been hoarding since we moved in

*went for a bike-ride on my sweet cruiser

*took the dogs for a long walk with David

*swept the front porch, steps and sidewalk

*put my winter clothes away and brought out my skirts and dresses (woohoo!)

*sorted through a huge box of old clothes to send most of them to the thrift store

*sat on the porch and read a magazine




Oh, and last night I did finally sit down at the sewing machine and I started a new handbag.

Next weekend, though, it's going to be a total sweat-shop at my house.
