Sweet Summertime

The school year ended and today is the first day of summer vacation (for teachers at least).  I slept in this morning and will visit with friends this evening.  I do have plans for this time off though which do include being productive!  We don't have any big travel plans since we had our big trip this spring (remember Hawaii?!) but we do have one or two small ones planned. This will be my first summer without any scheduled work but I will still stay busy.  I have made a list of to-do's that I want to accomplish that include in no particular order:

1.  Catch up on reading- I want to read at least 5 new books!

2.  Take some time to volunteer or help others in some way

3.  Cook more homemade meals- (we're lucky that we live near some farmers markets too)

4.  Visit the pool and hopefully the beach at some point

5.  Spend time with family and friends

6.  Go for walks... hopefully at least 5 times a week

7.  Organize my home office and closets

8.  Update TheDulyNoted 

9.  Complete at least 2 furniture projects (will explain this at a later time!)
10. Keep my flowers alive and perhaps try some more gardening

11. Relax!

If I end up doing everything, who knows, but like I say, it's always good to have goals! What do you have planned for the summer? Anything exciting?
