Sitting here right now, still sweaty from my morning walk...drinking my second cup of coffee for the day...I am humbled to look around in my very lived in house and think, "What's up with all this stuff?" Some days I seriously feel like walking around my house and just start firing stuff into boxes. Then the emotionally attached person in me says, "how can you get rid of that? It means too much to you!" It's this internal struggle that ends up paralyzing me and I find myself grabbing a book and kicking up my feet on the deck instead. After all, it's summer-time and the livin' is easy.
In the back of my head...these projects are piling up...waiting for the beginning of the new school year. I am always eager to start "getting my act together" in the fall. It's a new beginning for me. So I'm putting together this list. (which is work, you know...) And I'm getting ready. It's all in the preparation. And in the meantime...I'll go whip up an ice cold pitcher of sweet tea...and grab a book to write that list on...while I float in the pool.
...just keepin' it real.

That pitcher of tea almost makes me want to have it instead of a diet coke with a fresh lemon wedge. Almost.
Love your picture. I love sun tea. I'm with you sister. I am soooooo not wanting to do projects that are piling up. I've got to make myself get moving. "I will do it. I will do it. I will do it...," said the Little Engine that Could.
Have a great evening, Kathi
