This week is going by so quickly– it helps not working Monday. Wouldn’t it be lovely if weekends always lasted 3 days? Last night Lisa and I made hamburgers on the grill and corn on the cob. After dinner we went for a long walk. I find that the walking de-stresses me. I also feel I am getting stronger. During the winter I hibernate and although I was going back and forth to Chicago, I wasn’t really exercising much. It feels good to move.

I need to get my cousin Jessica a graduation gift. Back when I graduated from High School, my cousin Sharon gave me the greatest graduation gift. It was a box full of items I would need for college– shower shoes, a plastic basket to hold my shower supplies, plates and dish towels, laundry bag, etc… It was a fantastic gift because a lot of the stuff I wasn’t even aware I needed. I thought about doing something similar for Jessica but I just don’t know her that well and it’s just so much easier to get her a gift certificate to the Gap.
