Late CGQC Goals for July and August

HOLY COW!!!  Where did this month go already???   
 I am SOOOO late posting my
Charming Girls Quilt Club


Goals for July and August! 
Hmmmm!  OK, first off is-

(weird... not sure why this posted in black??)

OK, right now my biggest need is
 sleep. 
More sleep.
Uninterrupted sleep.
Menopause and hot flashes do not help
 trying to sleep well, either.
And with both my grown boys back home and coming in and going out at all hours I don't ever get a whole night's sleep without waking up several times a night.  Our Westie, Yogi, sleeps with DH and I

and when he hears the front door open in the dark he launches himself off the bed barking hysterically and proceeds to bark all the way down the hall, then all the way down the stairs until he sees
that it is just his own boy(s).
Sigh... rollover and try to get back to sleep.
Does this happen to you, too?
So, I am trying to go to bed a tad earlier and also to not plan early things for Saturday mornings as it's the only day we can all sleep in.  Sigh...

Other priorities for the upcoming two months-
1. read some each day... got lots of novels waiting for me
2. keep the deck plants alive in this summer heat
3. keep up with all my blogging friends!!
4. keep up with the Schnibbles each month
5. make a new purse for Back to School (work)
6. write Stash Manicure post on the 19th
and this one is HUGE...
7. clean out my stash closet
(in August after I'm off from summer school....)

(I wish it really looked this good now... this was taken a year ago!)

Boy, this one will take FOREVER!!

I wish I could list quilting the two large lap quilt tops I have completed, but not until my shoulder gets better.
Sigh!  Getting old is NOT for wussies!!
What are YOU up to so far this summer??

Drip, Drop, Drip Drop...

Ok, so, I've been back from my trip to Orlando to spend the 4th of July with
 my dear family for 3 days now. 
Have I sewn a stitch since I've been back?


Not a stitch!  Yep, that's me.
A SLUG!!!!!!!

But instead of being covered in slimey goo,
I'm covered in sweat up in my sewing room.

We've had a week of over 100 degree
 days and my AC upstairs in my
sewing room  isn't very cool!

So, I hope the temps drop soon and
 I can get back in my sewing room!
I am soooo behind in my current projects!
How's YOUR summer going?
