Summer Lovin'

The beginning of the summer Brenda and I made a list of different things that we wanted to do this summer. Work has started up again for me and so that means that summer is almost over. This is the list and I will also let you know what we did and didn't do. I will also give thoughts and feelings on the different things that we have on our list.

* will mean that we accomplished the goal that we set.


Summer Goals
  • Take a pottery class* (This was so much fun and I am so glad that I got to take this class with two of my best friends. Plus now I have a whole lot of cool pots that I made now.)
  • Go to the Cabin* (This was also fun, except a certain individual was also there and put a damper on our experience)
  • California (we probably won't get this one done this summer. How sad)
  • Make fudge* (It turned out pretty grainy, but it was a pretty good attempt for our first time of making fudge without any help)
  • Cake decorating (we could still do this one...)
  • HSM night (hasn't happened yet, but there is still time)
  • Speed walking* (This is the bomb. I like it better then running by a whole lot)
  • Triathlon (I don't really know why we set this goal, there was no chance we would do this haha)
  • Swimming* (luckily I have a pool so this was easily done)
  • Crocheting* (We are pro at this. Just kidding we aren't, but we did have nights were we would watch movies and crochet. It was awesome.)
  • Aprons*? (I did make an apron by myself so I am not sure if this counts...)
  • Drive in movies (don't worry this was planned for a group thing and unfortunately hasn't happened, but there is still time)
  • Sewing* (aprons?)
  • Friendship bracelets* (we did this. I still haven't finished the one that I am making though)
  • Paint* (we painted shirts for the 4th of July)
  • Music video (any music video made by Brenda and I would be fabulous on every level and it is a shame that we haven't crossed this one of the list)
  • Learn how to do cool eye make-up (That's what Pinterest is for, right? haha)
  • Go to the desert or on a hike (it's too hot)
  • Job hunting (we didn't do)
  • learn to dance (bahahha could never ever do that)
  • Garage sale/thrift store shopping* (This is the best! I recommend this to like everyone)
  • Remake something (... I don't think we have done this quite yet)
  • wood construction (nope)
  • Garden (nope, but I think Brenda might have a little on her own)
  • Get not fat* (success!!!)
  • Make paper (nope, but this would be fun to do with little kiddies)
  • Go to Barnes and Nobles and learn to do something from a book (We kind of did it, but I don't think it counts)
  • Calligraphy (nope)
  • Bake Apple Pie (Brenda baked apple cobbler, and I ate it. Does that count?)
  • Make recipe books* (We gave one of our high school friends that recently got married, a recipe book for her wedding present so I think this counts even though Brenda did it all)
  • Make Protection Pouches (protection pouches are little pouches that we are going to keep with us always that are going to contain items that will protect us from mystical beings i.e. a silver bullet to save us from werewolves; wooden stake, vampires, etc.)
  • Have a tea party (oh I hope we still do this. It would be amazing on so many levels) '
Although we haven't accomplished a lot of the goals that we set, we still did a lot and had so much fun doing them. Plus we also were able to accomplish a lot that isn't on our list. Overall it was quite a fun summer.
