The Summer List

With Spring finally here and Summer quickly approaching, I decided to make a list of things I want to accomplish before Labor Day.

1) Go to the beach at least three times a month.
2) Read 10 books that have yet to touch on my bookshelf.
3) Watch all the movies on the AFI 100 list.
4) Visit the Getty Center and Huntington Gardens.
5) Participate in a 5K.
6) Repaint all the furniture in my room.
7) Spend the day at the Carlsbad flower fields.
8) Buy a ukulele and learn how to play it.
9) Go paddle boarding.
10) Take a mini-roadtrip.
11) Attend my first baseball game.
12) Go to the San Diego County Fair.
13) Take in a concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
14) Sew a dress.

What are your spring/summer goals?

Seven Things

Since returning to singleton status, I've had more free time on my hands. But instead of taking of advantage of this, I've been squandering it by being lazy. You can only watch so much home improvement and food shows before the mind starts to reel.  

So I decided that in the next 7 months, I will:

1. Read more -  the last time I read a book was a year ago.
2. Take a dance class - perhaps tap or salsa.
3. Sew a dress - the last time I sewed a dress was 8 years ago. 
4. Start going to the gym - my high school reunion is 6 months away. Eek!
5. Learn how to knit -  if I'm successful, all my family and friends will be getting scarves and beanies. :P
6. Start my Etsy store - hopefully I can get this up and running by the end of this month.
7. Take more mini-road trips - it'll be fun to explore the nearby cities and find cool vintage/thrift stores. Plus I've been partly inspired by this guy. 

Do you have things that you want to accomplish?
