I have plans for you, August

Goals for the year's eighth month:

Allow more time for naps, in support of this quote:

There is more refreshment and stimulation in a nap,

even of the briefest,

than in all the alcohol ever distilled.

-Edward Verrall Lucas

Simplify and declutter

I'm coming for you, closets.

Climb out of bed earlier while the days are long

I've been working on this goal for ten years.

Arrange a date with Windex, rags, and my car

The car may be free of stuff, but it's not free of dust.

Buy produce only from the farmer's market

Trying to do a better job of supporting local agriculture,

even though the grocery store is more convenient.

Make one big shopping trip for the month

(excluding produce, milk, and bread)

Very excited about this one.

Grocery shopping is my favorite.

Spend more time at the pool,
adding a few final freckles to this summer's collection

They fade a little in the winter, so I better stock up.

Read at least 10 books

Started: Catcher in the Rye and Unchartered TerriTORI

On deck: My Fair Lazy and The Great Gatsby

Figure out a plan for Christmas shopping

The holidays are just around the corner!

Use Netflix more frequently or get rid of the expense

Confession: I gave up on True Blood.

Increase calcium and vitamin D intake, per Mom's orders.
Mama says a multivitamin doesn't cut it.

Have a wonderful weekend!
