Happy Fourth of July! Normally I draft these posts on Thurs/Fri then add to the list as the weekend goes on, but I’m away this weekend and have left my laptop behind, so I’ve scheduled this post to publish as normally scheduled, which means that I won’t have any updates about my Fourth of July weekend. I’ll be spending it staycationing at Jennifer’s apartment again, and this time with even more friends over! (Check out this post from when I staycationed at her place for Memorial Day Weekend!) Maybe I’ll share about it in a blog post of itself, or maybe I’ll cram it into my weekly Happy List. Hope everyone is having fun, because I have no doubt that I will be!

Time is always a funny thing when I’m on break. Is it Monday? Is it Saturday? Who cares! It’s summer! Looking back on my week and trying to account for my days, it feels like I’m not doing much. Is it problematic that the majority of my List seems to consist of food? I don’t have very many updates except that my watch of this week has been Pirates of the Caribbean. (Last week was Harry Potter.) (Maybe this week I’ll go for Lord of the Rings.) It’s scary to have the days go by and having it seem like you’ve done nothing with that time. I mean, I have been doing stuff, but nothing that feels worth reporting on. I’ve been working 9-5; I’ve been working on my blog; those two things are basically my whole summer. I’ve fallen into a routine and there doesn’t seem to be much to update you on except that I’ve made more progress with my web design for work and I’ve edited more photos and drafted more posts for my blog, both of which excite me and are fulfilling, but aren’t as exciting to talk about as they are to show. Nevertheless, let it be known that I am content 🙂
