1. more time at the beach than i have spent in a couple years combined, ahhhhh.
2. made two rounds of seed bombs.
3. made several day trips to the mountains, not worrying about whether it is worth the driving or not (it is worth it)
4. more walking, less driving
5. more play dates, less worry about the mess in my house
6. less wine, more clear head (ha ha!)
7. less shyness and swimming more, who cares if my figure ain't what it used to be, its hot and the water feels good!
8. ice-cream for dinner
9. splurge on movies at the theater, yes its a rip off but so nice too!
10. let broken cell phone stay broken, i don't need to make any calls (or receive any either).

Sounds perfect. Love that happy hour/playdate idea! And your new masthead.

Sorry about what happened on Flickr (I am just catching up on your blog after a little internet vacation) and thanks for the reminder to be careful. I too am going to double-check that photos of my daughter are private.

OK, enough of that, off to do some #7.
