1. I need to start putting out the trash the night before. Because sprinting to the curb while rolling a full can in 97% humidity is more of a workout than I need early in the morning.

2. I’m guesting over at Genreality today on
The Write Stuff
. I was also there Monday talking about storytelling with Tarot. I’ll be there next Thursday, too. This time of year the alternate gets a workout while Genreality regulars travel.

3. I’d like to be traveling. I plan to in August.

4. I’m cleaning out and organizing the kids’ room. This is not a task for the faint-hearted. It is time to sort out the outgrown clothes/shoes/coats/toys and fill a donation box so they actually have room for the clothes/shoes/toys they use now.

5. And lastly, I am doing some online shopping because my appearance is boring me. I found some fun shirts, like
this one
. Or
this one
. Also, my 7 yr old may have convinced me to go back to coloring my hair. I think the white streaks are scaring her into thinking I’m old and about to die instead of just prematurely white.

What about you? Organizing, traveling, updating your look?
