1. Camping in the mountains.  I miss the days – before the monstrous gas prices and crazy summer work schedule – when we would load up the RV and drive off to the Rocky mountains for a week or two.
2. Fishing at Pelican Pouch in Lake-of-the-Woods.  I always catch the most fish there.
3. Backpacking through Europe.
4. Re-organizing my office/library.  I need to comb through the area to make sure I have room for next semester’s books.
5. Finish the front yard work.  The ugly ass half-dead hedge has been torn out but we still need to plant new (smaller and nicer, juniper most likely) bushes and install the decorative rock.  After that, we need to tackle the severely diseased tree in the yard.  I think the previous home owners had the same shade of green thumb that I have – black!
6. I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I’d rather be reading my course textbooks and working on my papers (2) that are due soon.
7. Sit on my deck in the backyard with some lemonade, my textbooks and my laptop.
8. Grocery shopping.  The cupboards are pretty depleted and I would like to eat this week.
9. Determine what I’m getting Loxley for her birthday next week.  She wants something home-made (like Christmas) but I’m not sure I can top that.  Well, that and I don’t have that many free hours to spend working on her present – see #’s 6 and 7 re: pending papers and upcoming due dates.
10. Groom the dogs and cats.
11. Go for a walk through the river valley.
12. SLEEP!  I’m exhausted today. Not really sure why.
13. Cooking.  I used to cook frequently but got thrown out of the kitchen by a cooking fiend (the hubby) and was never really interested in going back.  Every once in a while I get into a mood to cook.  If I wait long enough, it usually passes *grin*.  Today, I wouldn’t mind spending a day in the kitchen cooking.  Mostly, I just want to make food to freeze so that we have a tonne of ready made meals available for the times when I don’t want to cook.
