Summer 2012

June 1 always feels like the beginning of summer to me.  Even though I know officially it doesn't start until the 20th and besides the fact that it is actually raining today, which doesn't feel very summery at all.  I still get into summer warm-up mode once June 1 rolls around.

Last summer I really liked my to-do list that I made for myself.  It was a great check-list that kept me honest.  This year I have made another list and I am looking forward to crossing items off one by one as the warm weeks go by!

So here goes my summer 2012 to-do list:

1. De-Clutter my House.  I feel like the chawtch-keys are swallowing me alive!  I want some more clean lines!

2. Get my bike fixed.  At the very beginning of fall last year, Nora and I took a bike ride and I popped both tires, officially ending my biking season with a bang! Now I want to get that fix and hit the road again.

3. I want to go some place new.  I know this is somewhat nebulous but I have some time off this summer and I don't want to be at home the entire time so I want to get creative, find a new, fun, inexpensive place to go and see.

4. Make curtains for the dinning room and/or play room.  Both areas need new curtains, Dodger chewed up the gross plastic vertical blinds, all the more enforcing the point that new curtains are needed.  Whether I can get to both rooms remains the question.

5.  Visit our friends the Slagles.  They recently moved to beautiful Redding, CA and have extended the invitation numerous times to come visit so I totally want to pick a weekend and point the car north!

6. And most importantly, eat as much ice cream as possible! A summer favorite!
