First Day of Summer: 2009

Since I blogged about the last day of school, I thought it would be fitting to blog about the first day of summer.

It's starting off quite well.

Before noon I managed to exercise, eat, pull all the weeds in my front yard, straighten up the house and do 2 loads of laundry. Yea for summer!

In the afternoon I managed to do two more loads of laundry. (Yes, 4 loads of laundry today! Usually I only do 2: whites and darks. But on special days where we have an abundance of towel usage going on at our house I do 3 and include a load consisting only of towels. But today I included a special 4th load: Red things. I know, it's crazy!)
In addition to the laundry I managed to fill out forms to renew my passport (you never know when you need to jet out of the country at a minute's notice), look up stuff and fill out forms related to international adoption, read 3 chapters in "Three Cups of Tea" (yes, Allie, I'm reading it!) unsuccessfully buy heartguard meds for the puppies, and join the national bone marrow registry for free!

You can register for free, too, but only this week. Just click on this link. When Jeff needed a bone marrow transplant it felt pretty crappy when all of us siblings found out none of us were a match (but Mike, Danny and I have each other's backs in case we need one) and it sure would have been nice to find a match on the registry. If you register you might just be the means of saving someones life. Plus it's free. So go do it!
