Ing: Baby, It’s Hot Outside

Keeping things out of Clara’s mouth. This is pretty much my new full-time job. (Girlie is doing great. Surgery story still to come.)
Drinking gallons of Margie’s water and also iced coffee.
Free-lensing. Oh, man. I’m having so much fun with this technique. (The pic of Clara in this post is one of my first attempts.)
Teaching Ian to swat flies. Highly entertaining.
Reading My Life in France and A Homemade Life and becoming inspired to cook and/or bake again.
Also reading Dearest Friend: A Life of Abigail Adams.
Making my bed each day. I’ve never been a bed maker, but I’m rather enjoying the effect.
Thinking about trying another Whole 30. I think I’ve convinced my friend Lauren to join me this time.
Watching old episodes of Mythbusters and Dirty Jobs with Simon.
Listening to Fleet Foxes radio on Pandora.
Thrifting. I actually have never been much of a thrifter, but I found an end table at the Fremont Goodwill for $15 and have had the bug ever since. I’ve also picked up another end table, a 4-cup French press, and a couple of vintage pillowcases and an apron that I intend to make into dresses for Clara.
Rearranging some rooms in our house. Specifically, moving Jason’s office downstairs and making a nursery for Clara.
Supressing the major wanderlust that rises especially in the summer. The cabin fever from staying indoors out of the heat is only making things worse.
