July 4th weekend

Hi chicks! Today, in a few hours, I will be on a July 4th three day weekend festival of love, sun, and happiness! It started today with an office BBQ, for which I made a patriotic flag cake.

It will continue tonight with planning for Sunday, epic beach day of the year, along with a picnic tomorrow for my fave girl Ellen, on account of her birthday! Also included tomorrow is drinks out for Ms. Ellen, and some car shopping for Jeff and me.

Sunday marks the longest beach day recorded in memorable history, followed by a recovery period Monday of cleaning the fire smell from my house and organizing my very messy closet.

What are YOU doing for your holiday weekend?

If I had…

an extra hour today: I would wander the produce section of Whole Foods and salivate over all the greens.

an extra one hundred dollars: I would buy myself a new CD (think Brett Dennen, Paul Simon, Simon and Garfunkel, etc.) and spend the other $80 over 2 weeks on all the veggies I wanted from Whole Foods or the farmer’s market (in which case it would last 4 weeks.)

an extra 30 minute today: I would read most of a National Geographic on the porch with lemonade.

an extra fifty dollars: I would buy a new bathing suit for the season

an extra fifteen minutes today: I would look at flights from LAX to CHI and vice versa, to see if a trip to see my sister or for her to see me is fesiable in the next 6 months

an extra twenty dollars: I would buy fancy cheese and low-sodium crackers and a $5 bottle of wine, and have a mini-date with Jeff.

an extra five minutes today: I would write an email to a friend I haven’t talked to in a while, to say “Hi, I like you still. Let’s talk.”

an extra dollar: I would buy a pack of gum.

an extra popsicle: I would give it to you!
