And...summer

My classes are over (rocking out with a 4.0 this semester), LOST season 5 is complete and So You Think You Can Dance audition debacles are airing on FOX. That can only mean one glorious thing- summer is at last upon us!

I can't get enough of summer and here in the Northeast it's just way too short (yet another reason I *heart* SoCal). But, I savor every last second of the balmy summer evenings and long summer days.

I decided to take a break from grad school classes this summer, so I could focus on a few other things- like, relaxing. I seem to have forgotten how to do that over the past few years.

On the summer '09 agenda?

1. Several trips to Atlantic City, Ocean City and Cape May and maybe a weekend in Baltimore.


2. On the crafty front, I want to start wielding a torch so I can add more metalsmithing components to my jewelry designs. D isn't so thrilled about the torch thing. I told him I'd keep a fire extinguisher right next to me, but still not so thrilled.


3. Soapmaking might also be a possibility, but given the high speed at which my weekends are booking up and slipping away, I'm not sure that will actually happen.


4. I'll be doing the Pineapple Sugar stand at the Mount Joy Farmer's Market, too.(I can't completely relax.)


5. And lastly, it's time to get D caught up on seasons 1 through 4 (and 5 when it comes out), so I can watch season 6 without him asking me 5 seasons worth of questions during every episode:
