I have to figure out my hair this summer too.
oh i loooooved this post! 32 is the best and should get top billing. 41 warms my heart. 47 is a must (i totally agree with the summer thing). 36 should be easy for you since you've got nothing to worry about. 14 and 17 are definitely on my agenda, too. sounds like a great summer for you!
I can't believe you came up with 50!! One look at that number and I was on to another prompt! I hope you enjoy every minute...and hope we're sharing some of these moments!
Oh my goodness! #16 makes me shake a little. I would love to do it, but I just worry that it would be too challenging. I'm afraid I shouldn't let technology control me so much!
Sounds like a great list. I just have to say that I LOVED The Art of Racing in the Rain and was so excited when I saw that he wrote a version for kids.
You will *love* The Glass Castle! SOOOOO good!
Sweet blog. Will look to follow u on Twitter too!
Great list & great goals!
Stopping by from Mama Kats.
Looks like a great list and savoring it all is the best!
Just popped in from Mama Kat!
Chris
that's a very productive list! "art of racing in the rain" is great - especially if you've ever owned a dog! ah, so good.
Wow that's quite a list...you have inspired me to add onto my summer bucket list!
love this! the books, yes! acadia, yes! lookin (and feeling hot) in your bathing suit, yes!
great list!! The Glass Castle is a quick read and is really good, also Henrietta Lacks is incredible! Can't wait to hear what you think!
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my all time favorites! I love the idea of making a summer bucket list...summers always fly by so fast and then I end up not doing anything I wanted to!
sounds like a good summer ahead for you.
These are great! Isn't amazing how if you write something down you end up doing it?
You'll have to do a follow-up post and let us all know how the summer turned out! Love your list - and I just finished The Glass Castle and loved The Art of Racing in the Rain .. hope you enjoy them!
Fabulous list! The length overwhelms me since I feel like summer really only lasts two months for me.
I like #47. I really want to take advantage and get out of the house and do some fun, spicy things :)
