So lately I have started to notice more and more bloggers making "bucket lists" of sorts. I made one in my personal journal a while ago for things I want to accomplish in my lifetime. It is a very long list and one I don't particularly want to share with the interwebs, BUT I think I am going to follow the trend and make a list of 30 things I want to get accomplished this summer. I'm hopeful that with my three day weekends this list can get done before the end of August. So here we go, as I finish them, I will put them in bold and italics!
1. Go to at least 2 more Orioles Games
2. Finish the books/book series that have been started this year (Eat, Pray, Love, The Sookie Stackhouse Series, and the Mercy Thompson series)
3. Go to the cabin at Smith Mountain Lake for at least 2 days.
4. Make use of my pool pass
5. Go to the American History Museum in DC
6. Go to Chincoteague to watch the pony's swim
7. Get in the Ocean, at least once this year
8. Take Meg to the Holocaust Museum (Then for ice cream to cheer ourselves back up!)
9. Go to a movie with Mom and Dad
10. Start walking at least a mile every day
11. Become better at teaching COMM 100
12. Have a girls night complete with fruity drinks and lots of laughing
13. Catch up with old friends from High School and Undergrad who live in the area
14. Start doing Yoga again
15. Have "Roomie" time on the patio at least 2 more times
16. Go to a vineyard
17. Make at least 5 more knots of love chemo caps
18. Crochet a sweater
19. Finish my blanket
20. Clean out my closet and purge and donate
21. Take a night drive with all the windows down and the music up "just cause"
22. Catch up on the TV shows I missed throughout the year
23. Take more pictures
24. Lose at least 15 lbs.
25. Walk a 5K (I put this on here because its on my actual bucket list and I did it last week)
26. Re-teach myself how to knit and make a complex scarf
27. Do a small act of kindness for strangers at least once a week (0/11)
28. Go to a concert at Wolf-trap
29. Sit on the patio and watch the fireflies come out
30. Go to the local farmers market
So there ya have it. Most of these seem like simple things, but that was kind of my point. Life gets so hectic during the school year, that I need to recharge my batteries before I start it all back up again. And really, when was the last time you sat back and watched the fireflies?? Maybe something you should think about too!! :)
