i had no idea what i was going to write about his week. really. truly. no idea. the past 2 weeks have been a blur, with traveling, teaching, and entertaining family visiting from out of town. but as i pondered the craziness that is already summer, i was reminded of this post by kelly rae roberts here, which led me to this post by ali edwards here, which led me to this...
my summer manifesto
*work outside...until such time as my yard is acceptible to
*hang out outside
*paint at least one piece of furniture an unexpected color
*make new colorful covers for my throw pillows
*stay up late watching movies with my boys
*sleep late with my boys
*quit diet sodas
*get back on pilates routine
*grow some more vegetables so i can make more deliciousness like this...
*have way more moments like this...
what's your summer manifesto?
viva la summer...this one's for you!

I started my summer here in Georgia almost 3 weeks ago, and so far I have accomplished a whole lot of sleeping, gotten the dog hair situation under control, had a pizza party at the pool for my kids and their friends, and organized one closet. Still to do: organize kitchen cabinets, get caught up on all the late night talk shows, make a new painting for my living room, teach my daughter to drive, make a trip to the beach, and get a whole lot more sleep! Best wishes for your summer!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reminding me to make my summer to-do list. I love doing that -- and at the end of the summer I like to make a "what I want to remember" list.
ReplyDeleteHmmm....I suppose it's to survive having both my daughters at home...at the same time...at least until they "find their way" and move on. Make more art...always! I like watching more movies so maybe I'll do that. Continue to get ready for our move to Michigan...
ReplyDeleteI need a what to do this winter list. Gardening, eating outdoors when the sun shines, doing art with my grand kids, some online art workshops, being a better blogger, learning to use all my photo apps. Be thankful for our wonderful Australian winter.
