While I'm excited that July has now begun, I'm sad because that means my summer is ticking away quickly.

I have been busy getting things done though. I went to the dentist on Monday and of course I get to keep my teeth for six more months. I've also been doing a lot of little jobs around the house. When I finished the dining room painting on Sunday, I started to clean out and through away. The summer is a good time to go through drawers, closets, and shelves and throw away things I haven't touched for the last year. Cleaning out and organizing is a good thing.

The boyfriend's family is coming over on the Fourth of July to have dinner and watch the fireworks from my balcony. So now I need to concentrate on giving my house a good cleaning before they arrive. I'll be concentrating on that tomorrow. The boyfriend and I will go shopping tomorrow to get all the food so that will be taken care of. I know we'll have a great time and it will be good to see his family again.
