Things to do before September 22

I love lists. Crossing things off makes me feel like I have accomplished something and writing them lets me dream up things I really want to do. Unlike the never ending days of summer from my childhood, summer with a new baby is flying by. So I am making a list of things I really want to do this summer. As I try and discover how to be myself and a mom at the same time I am doing my best to not make this just a "things to do with Sprite" list. Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you want to join me. I am going to keep adding things as I think of them and don't worry I have no intention of finishing them all. I will keep you posted on my progress though. Hey, accountability will keep this procrastinator on track.
In no particular order...
1. get a tan at the beach
2. go on a picnic
3. see a summer flick at the drive-in
4. go for a walk on Flager and Clematis in West Palm Beach, preferably early in the morning or late in the day.
5. make popsicles
6. have friends over for dinner
7. read a fun summer book
8. plan a new herb garden
9. get new pillows for the living room
10. recover the seats on our patio chairs
11. take Sprite swimming in the ocean
12. drink something with an umbrella next to a pool
13. go to an art workshop
14. learn to make a new frozen drink (or two)
15. see the new Harry Potter movie (in an actual movie theater)
16. go to a baseball game
17. rearrange the bedroom
18. clean and organize my desk
19. take the infant CPR class
20. fly a kite
21. sleep in
22. take a family vacation
23. share a giant ice cream sundae with someone, you know, the kind with too many flavors and a couple of spoons. No bananas please.
24. post reviews/recipies/artwork on my blog
25. send someone a postcard
to be continued...
