Ruby Spice Summersweet is extra fragrant this year
(Clethra alnifolia)
Ten things to do instead of watching the boob-tube. I’m leaving knitting and spinning off the list because it’s like brushing your teeth, just do it. I still ended up with a bonus.
- Grab your favorite alcoholic beverage and a book and head for the deck. You’ll remember it in December.
- Figure out the intricacies of reward travel from different programs to be used on partner airlines, hotels and car rentals. Two hours slips away unnoticed. Who designs these things?
- Worry about sending a partially deaf and disabled husband half-way across the country by himself.
- Design a baby sweater. I can’t find just what I’m looking for so I’m taking elements from several patterns to knit another denim baby sweater.
- Worry about why your cat hasn’t come home for 24 hours (he came home in 26).
- Go out for ice cream. If you’re a masochist, weigh yourself afterward.
- Do anything outside: pull weeds, go for a walk or bike ride. You’ll remember it in December.
- Make a quiche with all those veggies and eggs in the fridge. Add eggs to the shopping list, put the veggies back.
- Tackle the pile of paperwork on your desk; it’s boring but you’ll feel better afterward.
- Go shopping online, fall is just around the corner.
- Clean out your closet of everything that doesn’t fit. Give it away or store it so you can find the stuff that does fit. See #10.

Nice list but I think I’d have a hard time choosing cleaning out the closet over watching tv! lol
Hahaha, that’s a great list — #8 made me laugh out loud (been there!).
#8 sounds just a little too much like me… Great list!!
Great list. Oh, the paperwork pile. Hate that.
Yeah, I put paperwork on my list, too. Stupid thing grows every time I turn away.
Excellent list. Remarkably close to what I would have said.
OMG, I could fix #8 for you – I’ve got 12 dozen eggs in my fridge. A couple of our regular customers are on vacation, so the eggs are starting to pile up…
That is a good list. Now I want to eat a quiche.
