Tomorrow night is my first meeting with my new committee for JLM. I am on SEGG this year, focusing on Cookbooks and Dinner Clubs, I am really looking forward to that and know that I will just love it. Wednesday the boy and I are heading to the Twins game with both sets of parents, Thursday is a French themed tasting for the wine club, Friday is dinner at a new place with friends, Saturday we have my nephew coming to stay with us, G, and we are taking him to a fine dining establishment (he loves getting dressed up and going fancy) here, and then to the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and then Sunday is Grand Old Day, so street fair food! SO, it would be a joke to post a meal plan when I have nothing to plan. But, it is summer, and I don't see this letting up until maybe September. I did get a new grill though, but it is still sitting in a box in the garage. It would have been great to just throw some chicken breasts on it tonight, but oh well.
Update: I started this yesterday, but work came first. SO, a continued update. I wound up making chicken with sauteed tomatoes, garlic, basil and a little white wine and pasta. Easy enough. I also continued to work on getting my closets switched over. The good news is, my winter clothes are now stored away. The bad news is, I am still not done. I think I am finally to the point where I need one official Lilly closet. I also decided to lay my closet out differently this year since I really just wear dresses and skirts during the summer, with the occasional capris thrown in. I am not sure when I am going to finish this, most likely tonight when I get home. For the most part it is just hanging and organizing my skirts. I have my sweaters stacked by color, so those just need to be put in place and then my tees, get those put away. Little by little I guess, but when I have so many organizing projects to get done, I just want to get through them!
The boy and I have been keeping very busy. We took a couple of days off and spent six days up at the lake over Memorial Day weekend which was really nice. There was little drama, but just enough to make me go UGH! We were also looking for some nice quiet down time. That didn't happen. His sister unexpectedly came up with two of the kids Sunday over night and then his brother came up Monday to Wednesday. I know that they are family and such, but it still kind of surprises me how they just show up without any food or anything to contribute and then don't even help with prep, cleaning or cooking. NOTHING. We did watch 7 movies though, have you seen "Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day"? I LOVED it. I want to see it again. I also read two books and caught up on some magazines. But truth be told, I spent a lot of time cooking and preparing the next meal. I love cooking and BBQ's and such, but it is more fun when there is someone there doing it with you, for the most part, I was on my own unless the boy helped out.
This past weekend was a lot of fun. Sister J and I were co-hosts of a stop along a bar crawl. What a blast. Super fun people and the night, and party just kept going. The boy was busy getting his car ready for the car show the next day, so it was just us girls out for the night. We stayed out way too late and had a little too much fun, but it was worth it. I did manage to get up the next morning and head to the Farmers Market for flowers, arranged them and then went to pick up sister J for the car show, which was a lot of fun with her along. We spent some time strolling around, it was a beautiful day, and checking out all the cool cars.


I also bought this,




Sunday was SO much fun! We went to an outdoor wine tasting under a tent, but it was a beautiful day, and SO much fun,

We have seen a couple of screenings lately, but this one was hysterical. SO funny!!!!!


We went to a Riedel tasting where we were thrilled to meet Max Riedel, 11th generation Riedel.
We were also at a private tasting last week where we had some exceptional wines. They were from a local wine buyers private cellar, and it was a ton of fun. There were only 10 of us, so again, we got a ton out of it.
Lots of fun things going on, I am just so happy summer is here!
