SUMMERTIME!!

So I've been home for 2 days now and I'm bored. Not that I don't have anything to do, it's just that I don't really want to do them!! :-) I'm at the library updating this, so at least I know I can do that! I cold walk to the library sometime -- it's only about 2-3 miles away along sidewalk-ed (is that a word??) streets. We'll see if we have a "cooler" day sometime in the future!!

I have a few "plans" for the summer. I think if I write them down, I'll at least have some kind of encouragement when (or IF) I finish them.

Here goes: (maybe my "readers" can encourage me to attempt to accomplish something!!)

1. Organize apartment (sort-of an on-going thing, but I would like to at least get some pictures on the wall!

2. "catalogue" books -- I know, I'm a geek! What can I say? I'm a teacher and I like organization (to the point that if it's not organized -- IT'S NOT ORGANIZED!!)

3. Scrapbook my Chile pictures. (It would be nice to do this before I actually go back in November!

4. Organize/sort school files. (this speaks for itself!)

5. Go to the resource center to laminate some things and cut out some stuff for next year.

6. Read at least 5 books I've never read before (children's books excluded -- I may be doing this with #2 as I catalogue them -- like I said: geek!)

7. Crochet at least one afgahan.

8. Find a quote from each movie I own. This may not seem like too difficult of a task, but I own about 75 movies. This really started because I like the line from Tin Cup (I know, not the best movie in the world, but this line is great!) "When a defining moment comes along, you define the moment or the moment defines you." I don't know if someone else said it before Kevin Costner, but I like it -- not the most Theological statement, but there's a lot of truth in it!

That's all I can think of for now. If you think of anything else I should try to do this summer, let me know. I think I'm going to stay pretty busy, but you never know!!

Good luck on your list. I have "several" of my own. How about doing one work thing and then one play thing? That way you can reward yourself by getting a work one done. Jeannine & Rowan head back to Idaho on 25 June. Jeannine will be coming back by herself. We are sure going to miss him. Love, Aunt Connie
