[...] sometimes I breeze through recipes and mistake the little (t)easpoon for a (T)ablespoon, and I singed my eyebrows lighting the barbeque that one time, and I never took Chemistry or Physics, but I’m very [...]

for your sunglasses dilemma — when I finally converted to contact lenses a few months ago, I noticed that I needed regular sunglasses, as I only had prescription sunglasses. so, I went to the eckerd across the way and grabbed the first pair I saw — $10. wasn’t it zztop who said “go and get yourself some cheap sunglasses”? they could act as a stop-gap measure until your mauis come back.

Things To Do Before I Can Enjoy Summer:

1. Buy 75 flats of marigolds to get rid of those hungry deer. (I know they’re beautiful, but they’re wearing paths through my crown vetch and eating my hastas to tiny stubs.)

2. Clean sunglasses.

Fun post, Susan! Enjoy this beautiful day!

Ways I’m not ready for summer:
1. Have not planted tomatoes.
2. Have not bought plants for planters on front porch.
3. Haven’t trimmed forsythia, nor hedges, not any other plant life anywhere. Will be languishing in shade in about three weeks.
4. Have not tried on the bathing suit I bought and didn’t wear last summer. Nor the matching skirt. (Matronly? Yeah. What the hell.)

Ways that I am ready for summer:
1. Bought new (cheap) sunglasses. Have owned them for four days, and still haven’t lost them.
2. Have tested one recipe to bring to events this year: a nifty little tapanade that I can make in 5 minutes in the food processor and that requires only a few ingredients plus a baguette. Bonus: I can snack on the leftovers. Mmm.
3. Have decided that prosecco (slightly fizzy white Italian wine) is my main thing-to-bring to all events — and it goes with the tapanade. Double woo.
4. Have bought three tomato plants, which are sitting — very bored — in my garage. Remembered to water them yesterday. Need to plant ASAP.
5. Replaced crumbling back steps with tiny back deck last year, and furnished with two chairs and a table.
6. Have resigned self to a life of mushroom-colored skin.
