I'm in between rounds of dishes and laundry, which are themselves breaks from beta-testing and bill-paying. And I'm not going to get through the rest of the day without some more sleep. But first, a bowl of raspberries and a list:

What are the treasured seasonal moments you still want to have this summer?

1. Catching this year's Nashville Shakespeare Festival shows.

2. Making lemon mousse.

3. Making bubble tea.

4. Making "Chinese jello" (boil a stick of agar with some water and brown sugar; chill until firm)

5. Purposely spending an entire afternoon reading manga or comic books (as opposed to sneak-snacking on them while procrastinating on something else)

6. Watching tennis at or on something other than my computer.

7. Weeding my driveway (this will actually be pretty relaxing. I have been fending off the temptation to indulge in it instead of the chores that actually matter.)

8. Teasing the dog for parking herself on top of the air-conditioning grate. (Which I already do, but it never gets old.)

Okay. On to clean towels! :-)
