July 2018 in Review

Tweet

Summer is flying by way too fast for my tastes, MyLot. Thus my distance recently from the world of MyLot, but I have missed all of you. I think I will review my July on this post, even though we are already a week into August. Wow. I'll start with goals Goal - try 2 new recipes July - 5 new recipes tried. This time only 3 of them were "keepers" - Italian salad, slow cooker spaghetti, and fridge salsa. Goal - Read or listen to 8 books/audiobooks July- 7 books read/listened to. All were very good though. "Invisible" by James Patterson kept you guessing right to the end and had parts that were relayed from both main characters. "Hunger" by Roxane Gay was very touching and made one think about life in a different way, "Dr.Sleep" - King was amazing - the follow up to "The Shining". Goal - 12 exercise "goal" days July - 12 exercise goal days met. And as for my financial goals, well, they flew right out the window. It's ok though. I'll catch up later. I know what I spent on. Lots of meals out (what can I say?) and lots of clothes. See I de-cluttered my closet earlier this year, and now I wanted some cool clothes again. Though right now I'm feeling all caught up. :-D So, in July my dance troupe was in a couple parades, I have been to several concerts at the park which are popular in this area, got to hang out with friends, parents, garden is starting to kick in and be harvestable, However I feel like I sort of over committed myself too by signing up for a class and performance in burlesque, and our bellydance performances. Usually I'm all for it, but I just don't feel up to it right now and I don't know why. Also my houseguest (cat) Bridgette went home a few days ago. It has been lonely ever since. And I'm happy to say that I got out to the fair several times. Entered things, too and got 2 red ribbons and 1 white. How have you been, MyLot? Photo: Pixabay
