This was how I spent my looooooong Independence Day Weekend - I did #4. And you know what? I loved it. I didn't do a whole lot and yet, much was accomplished. Mostly that means I had a set of tasks set out and I ticked most of them off as "done", walked around DESPITE the overbearing heat, street fairs, sitting in the park, people-watching, street fairing, netbook purchasing, Sephora goodie stops - that sort of thing. Mostly it was me getting ready to head to California on Saturday and be by my beloved ocean ooooh she can't wait to dip her toes in the sand and sea. I just need to live through this week, I have FAR too much going on - this week is just a continuation of last week where I felt I was forgetting to breathe and man, do I hate that feeling. I'm gonna do my best - to breathe, yet, but also smile - sometimes I forget to do that too, in my grumpitude.

You too - yes YOU - don't forget:

1. Breathing
2. Smiling

Do it now - feel better?
