Summer Goals

I am all about having "a plan of attack". While sitting around in my pyjamas watching daytime television and letting B live off fruit snacks and graham crackers might seem like a perfectly acceptable way of spending each day, I am going for the gold this summer.

• Convince someone else that cleaning my baseboards will save their soul.
• Simultaneously take B to swim lessons and make the other moms sick with jealousy that they don't have my magnificent thighs.
• Take B to his "Kickers" class. Description: Children will learn to kick a variety of balls. No joke. We are getting our camera ready for our prize winning submission to America's Funniest Home Videos.
• Finish the 43 sewing projects I have going on while brainstorming 17 more.
• Read less and watch more movies. In my real life I teach Honors English, and reading good literature can become highly overrated. I intend to netflix (yes, I am using this as a verb) the Star Trek and AbFab movies. Awkward combo.
• Eat churros with some beloved friends at Costco. You have no idea how excited I am about this. We are going to close our eyes and pretend we are waiting in line for the Haunted Mansion.
• Pursue pregnancy.
• Go to my high school reunion at Rockin' R Ranch. Sarcasm is moot on this. For those of you who don't know, Rockin' R Ranch is exactly as hookey as it sounds. Only in Mesa.
• Visit the fam in Portland. I really hate living away from my cousins. I am requesting that yummy guacamole, Jeff W.

There are a couple dozen naps scheduled in there as well, but I believe that goes without saying. Of course, I will also beat you about the face with blog posts. I recall how efficient I became last summer at mindlessly trolling the internet.

Four more days... I cannot wait.
