the essence

Highlights from this week:

TWO HOURS of alone time at Target on Sunday. Heavenly.

Phone calls with three of my best friends.

A surprise late birthday card in the mail from Ruth, with a Starbucks gift card inside!

Baked chocolate chip cookies.

Mowed the entire lawn in less than half an hour (it was hot out there!).

Sewed a truly fabulous new tote bag. I love it! (I'd post a picture, but, still no camera).

Used the rest of my target gift card to buy a huge micro fiber duster that I'd been wanting for quite some time. I'm in love!

Jen & her girls coming over for lunch today.

A possible overnight visit from my parents tonight.

Driving to the Leesburg area on Saturday for Leah's 18th birthday party!!!
