The bed sheets are in the wash, I've had my coffee, now it's time to go outside and wash down the patio furniture in the off chance the rain stays away long enough for us to have dinner out there. Here's hoping.... With 7 of us here tonight, inside dinner will mean a leaf in the table, that spells a table cloth, that means fussing, all that = work. Uck. I'd rather not.

I picked up some of that wonderful fig, balsamic and maple syrup marinade yesterday, dumped the whole bottle on some chicken breasts with the juice of a couple of lemons and a dash of sesame oil. That, a big salad and some yummy, nutty little summer potatoes will be dinner, and something decadent from the bakery for dessert. Mike loves cannolis, so if I get over there early enough, I might snag the last few of them.

Shelly, where are you now? Back in Connecticut yet? Y&R has been so exciting lately!! Spoilers I've read have lots of OMG's in them! Did you read about Skye's fate? Yikes!!
