Final Days of Summer

For me, the summer has flown. I took a class that I did not really want to take, and I took a job that I was hoping not to have to take, but today - TODAY - is my final exam - I get to finish this class and I get 17 days of this summer to make something happen for myself.

I have things I want to do and plans I want to finish - so that I can start this semester (and what remains of my college goals) with a clean slate and zero projects.

I want to finish our gazebo, and finish painting the outdoor furniture, finish the "Honey Hole" (which is this imagined little spot where the carport used to be), I want to make sure no more trees die on my property and take good care of my grandfather's rose bush (tree really).

I want to get the porch rails up and finished, and help the band and the flag girls, I want to make a list of "100 Things to Do before I Graduate" for my son (this is his senior year).

I want to enjoy the remainder of the summer - drama free and without interruption. Oh, and I need to have a garage sale (which should be fun with the temperatures being what they have been).

For those interested that thermometer is on my back porch and shows what the temperature is today at my house here in Texas (it is August 6, 2012 and it is HOT today). I am thankful that for today, I am inside and though procrastinating, am about to take my final exam. Here is to one more "A" - I am throwing everything I have at this one. I hope to get it all done and I will blog along the way about my progress or lack thereof...cheers (and stay cool).
