1. Devising a bed for Moxie that looks like she’s sleeping in a matchbox. The other night I covered Moxie with a dinner napkin, prompting Ted to say it was similar to wee cartoon creatures sleeping in a matchbox.

2. Sewing a week’s worth of wide-legged resort pants, made of lightweight linen or seersucker, to wear on tropical vacations. Imagine the sun and humidity without the exposure or thigh-chafing!

3. An organizational system for the linen closet. I can’t say much about the closet other than it’s funny-shaped, contains piles, and sometimes I have to stand inside a box to reach something from the back shelves.

4. Pillows for the couch, all covered in cotton barkcloth featuring different botanical prints.

5. Daily sit-ups and push-ups. It’s not that I don’t do them, it’s just that I forget to do them.

6. Overalls for Moxie with four rolled-up pant legs and a cut-out for her tail. Refer also to No. 1.
