My list
OK! So I made a list at the start of the summer (see below)... let's see how many things I accomplished... shall we?????
"Things I want to do this summer, by Christiana (revised 5/24/09)
-see Coldplay live (my birthday gift from my guy) I actually did this. The ex bought me another set of tickets after he took back the original set when we broke up. I went with my mom. It was awesome.
-spend a week at the Cape with Scott
-stay in Boston with Scott and his family and see the Red Sox I did this too. Although it may not have been the best decision.. it was one of the things that helped me see where I was at while I was in the middle of the limbo state I was in at that time...
-drive around at night, with iced coffee and Guster and Shayna Shay - did we do this? We did some fun stuff this summer, for sure.
-get my cartilage pierce, professionally this time (oops) Not yet. Still on my list though...
-do something fun with my hair... blonde? Yes! Dyed it dark brown with Rogue style blonde streaks!!!!
-jump in the lake
-feel the satisfaction of showing my abs off, while wearing a skimpy bathing suit Did this!!! Was really happy with how my hard work paid off :)
-take pictures of my abs so that when winter rolls around, and the flubber follows, I can remember what they looked like HAHA how well do I know myself? Yea... time to tone things up again.. I'm working on it!
-go to the Purgatory chasms
-spend a day doing absolutely nothing, with the exception of drinking iced coffee and going swimming and getting ice cream
-have a picnic, and then another, and another....
-take the boat out with Scott
-fires at the farm ALL THE TIME
-continue to go to the gym, but not let it dictate my life HAHAHA I totally dropped out of my routine... for very good reason. I'm getting back into it now, though.
-go on a road trip with Shayna, and not think about law school or Boston or not getting together for mac n' cheese and coffee... :(
-remember what it was like then, and change the now
-not take work so seriously
-play :) :) :)
-hang out with two of the coolest kids on the planet... my little brother and sister There's a lot of thing in my life that are out of my control, this is one of them.
-take TONS of pictures and videos Lots of pictures.. beach trips, friends, and sappy, mushy ones :)
-give generously, without thinking about it I have def done that this fall.
-one night, really late, when it's super unbearably hot, pick up the kids and take them to get ice cream bars.. just like when I was a kid.
-late night Walmart HELL YEA!
-concerts on the common
-only spend money on things that I need, and only occasionally on what I want/be content with what I have I think I've gotten better at this...
-girls annual Hampton Beach trip...the last one til who know's when This did not happen.. but we had a girls' Six Flags trip :)
...to be continued
A revised list is on it's way.....
