Feeling Hot Hot Hot!

Please tell me that I'm not the only one singing that song (all day long) today! It is hot! Just taking the dog outside (or opening the door to let her go out) it brutal! At least there is a wonderful breeze.

Today I kinda relaxed most of the day - it is summer vacation after all :) Yesterday was the first day I hosted book club, and we had 8 girls over for wine and appetizers. I made a wonderful summer drink by combining sparkling Riesling, lemonade, and a raspberry for a very refreshing drink. We also had the usual red and white wines available, but the lemonade was the biggest hit! For food I made a fruit pizza, some wonderful bacon cheesy dip with crackers, and the good ol' stand by veggie tray. The cheese dip and fruit pizza were a big hit. And of course after all of that hard work - I forgot to take pictures (D'oh!)

I did get some more work on the upstairs "library/teacher" room. Still not sure how it is going to turn out, as I'm really not sure what I want it to be yet, but currently I have three bookshelves set up with most of my books. (They really don't all fit on the three - I have a book problem!) I need to get a shelf for the closet, there is a place for one above the hanger bar, but no shelf. I think that will help with organization. Then I can add some cute storage containers, some baskets, etc and get that room in tip top shape. Sometimes I think about selling/donating the teacher stuff as it is taking up so much room, but I just can't seem to give it up just yet. I do love online teaching, so maybe after a few years, I'll be ready to move on :) For now, I will find some space for it and finally get another room done!
