I highly recommend:

• Eating Dark Chocolate M&M’s… if you can find them (or if, like me, you have fabulous friends who will buy them for you).
• Letting others help you complete a project. My father-in-law tilled our weed patch on Sunday and now we’re having sod installed. The patch has been an unsightly mess for many years now and it feels really great to be checking off a task from our homeowner’s list.
• Watching Firefly, especially before the movie comes out in September. I found myself drifting off to sleep last night dreaming of the show’s unique characters. This series lasted for only one season and has quite the cult following now. Kudos to Joss Whedon. (Further recommendation: watching Firefly with friends while eating aforementioned M&Ms.)
• Growing roses and peonies. My living room smells beautiful and looks somewhat prettier with these cut flowers blooming in vases. Mmmm.
