The longest day of the year! School has been out about a month now which means I'm not working and have fully slipped into summer mode. So what does one do in summer mode?
Reading
Just finished reading A Visit from The Goon Squad. Entertaining read but I'm not sure I get the Pulitzer Prize winning part. Today I started Ten Thousand Saints.
Drinking
Blueberry mojitas! We used a recipe similar to this one with a few modifications. To this recipe, we also added Stoli Blueberry and mulled a few blueberries in with the mint and sugar. Cool and refreshing! I figure it must be healthy too with all those blueberries!
Wasting
Way too many hours of my time glued to the Casey Anthony trial on TV. This is local news to us here so all the local TV stations show it, uninterrupted, all day long. Watching the legal proceedings has been fascinating. Judge Perry is my hero. Honestly, I would invite him to dinner but I think he's probably way too busy right now for dinner invitations! I wonder if he likes blueberry mojitas.
Loving
The new fabric lines that are hitting the stores like Prince Charming, 1001 Peeps, Coastal (coming soon), and so many many more. . . . . Must finish a project or two so I can decide which one to order first.
Bummed
About the moronic sewing mistake I made not once but twice. Not only was the mistake stupid (twice) but I used up (as in wasted) a ton of fabric.
Wishing
It would rain!
Unhappy
About the black snake that has trapped itself on my enclosed screen porch right now. I know he's harmless but that doesn't mean I want to be the one escorting him out the door.
What are you doing with your summer?
Why is it that we're all so consumed with this trial? And for goodness sake what will Casey's mother come up with next!? I fully expect her to confess to everything next week.
I just found out we're probably moving to Florida at the end of the summer (living on our boat in a marina) and I'm sorry to see you live on the east coast as we'll be on the west. I have to admit, I'm not really looking forward to the heat!

I refuse to watch the trial,but my husband is glued to it all day.I get the content on the evening news, and I agree I do like the judge.
I'm sewing, knitting and crocheting all projects at the same time.....can't get bored.
I love the Amy Butler fabric purse in your previous post. Do you have a pattern to buy ?
My website is still in Swedish, but there's a translation button, wich makes it absolutley hilarious, ( if you know both languages) It's my dog Buttons site.
Have a great 4th
hugs
