The Summer Bucket List

So, as Memorial Day approaches we're faced with the "unofficial" start of Summer.

Not sure if I did this last year or not, but here goes the 2013 Bucket List.. A mix of old favorites and a few new things to spice up the mix.

___ go camping
___ spend the night at the lake
___ have a picnic at the park
___ make ice cream
___go to the beach at least once each month
**in the event an actual vacation takes place I'll scratch that one off all together
___catch a fish (well duh!)
___ paint pottery with Emily or do a Paint & Pour class
___eat on the back porch at least once a week
___save as much money as possible!!
** honestly, I am hoping to put every spare cent I can into a savings account!


What's on your big list of things to do this Summer?

For old time's sake!

Here's to writing a blog.

It's a slow Friday. By that I mean, school is out for the day. I've had the chance to sleep in (til 7) make my coffee, enjoy it in bed with Kathie Lee and Hoda, as well start to dig in on the house work that has been looming in my head for close to months now. I've also made STRICT plans to only visit Publix for necessary baking items (might even make that the Pig) and return home to be lazy all day.

I had plans but they fell through, furthering my belief of you can only depend on yourself.

So far, we've tackled the dishes, started the laundry and cleaned out a few cabinets. My goal for May is to DECLUTTER. Mr. P and I have some BIG plans for the house, and we're finally at the point in our lives to make a plan and accomplish it. I am OH SO EXCITED! I was blessed with a talented partner in him to do the big stuff such as painting and construction, which leaves me with the design side.

Life continues to be a mix of work, work and work. Honestly I'm not sure how I've functioned lately.

This random unseasonably gloomy cold weather can take a hike. After the epic Spring Break trip of April, nothing just lives up to it. Slowly though I'm starting get excited about another Summer on the lake.

I've got 3 days left with the kiddos I started teaching in February. Wow! These past few months have flown by. I can't imagine what I will do with my new found free time, I know I will miss them terribly.

Until next time folks!
