Have a Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
I love holiday weekends! I'm so grateful for all our veterans. Yes, I'll be soaking up the sun, barbecuing, and relaxing with my coffee, but I'll also take time to remember all those amazing people who have died serving our country.

Happy Memorial Day!
Today is Memorial Day--a day Americans celebrate our veterans! It's also the unofficial kick-off of summer. Whether we're camping, barbecuing, having a family picnic, or just chilling out at home, Memorial Day makes us feel good!
A HUGE thank you to all our veterans!
What do you do on Memorial Day?
We're taking a Monday drive and getting ice cream. :)

For everyone else, sorry, it's still Monday.

One Goal Friday: May 28, 2010
Memorial Weekend has arrived! It's the unofficial kick-off of summer. Watermelon, corn-on-the-cob, barbecues, graduations--summer, yes, summer! No more packing school lunches, and the Mom-Shuttle will be closed until fall.
It's Friday, time to set one goal for the upcoming week. It can be related to work, school, home, family, or just something fun, but it should enhance your life.
Last week, my goal was to finish reading The Fire in Fiction by Donald Maass. I did not meet that goal, but I'm about two-thirds through the book. I don't feel bad taking my time on this excellent guide.
Here are your goals from last week:
Wendy: Get to 75K on WIP
Terri: Rework chapters to send to crit. partners and critique a few chapters
Georgiana: Prepare for graduation party (Congratulations!!)
CJ: Make graduation party invitations (Congratulations!!)
Keli: Another 5K words
Sharon: Write two chapters, write one nf article, and research educational market
Cindy: 6-10K on new WIP
Elana: Write every day
Beth: 2K words
Kelly: Stick with one-ingredient diet and then create healthy eating plan
Erica: Press on and finish edits
Susan JR: Clean and organize desk
Karen: Spend time in the Word
Jen: Lose one pound, decide on poem, and create index for book
T Anne: Get through edits
Diane: Get back on treadmill 4x's
Lynn: Courage!
Hannah: Try hardest at tennis match (I saw you won! Congrats!)
Jessica: No raw brownie mix! (I had raw cookie dough this week. Bad me.)
CMOM: Finish cleaning before company arrives and write one day this week
How did you do?
My new goal is to be content right where I'm at. Every day, I want to be grateful for what I have--at least for one week!
What about you? What one goal will make your life better this week?
Please leave your goal in the comments section. If you're new to my blog, I'd love to hear your goal too, but if you aren't comfortable, that's okay!
Join me next week for June's topic: The Bliss of Summer.
Have a terrific weekend!

Memorial Day
Memorial Day in any part of Michigan usually brings rain, cold temperatures, and a general state of misery. There have been a few bright exceptions, but it's best not to plan an outdoor picnic unless you provide a large tent for everyone to huddle under. Who can complain about a three-day weekend, though? Not me! Rain? Temperatures in the fifties? Doesn't matter--it's Memorial Weekend! (Let's hope this year is one of the exceptions!)
In celebration of the holiday, and the unofficial start of summer, I'd like to say a warm thank you to all of the people who gave their life serving in the United States military. Thank you to their significant others who supported them and kept their home life together.
Especially, a big thank you to my departed Grandpa who served in World War II. And, I know we're celebrating departed veterans, but I'm going to send out a huge thank you and a hug to my dad who is (thankfully!) still with us. Thanks for serving your country to make it safe for me and our family! I love you!
And while I'm at it, I'm going to thank all of the people currently serving our country. Thank you for your dedication.
Okay... It's brownie time! And cheeseburger time! And don't forget the potato chips...
Enjoy the holiday!
