Here in Idaho

Lazy Days Part Two

I have an agenda, of sorts, this summer. Here’s what it looks like:

Summer Agenda, 2008

1. Sleep in everyday.
2. Get through the 2nd draft of my story.
3. Do 100 push ups. This is the loftiest and least attainable goal of all.
4. Take weekly field trips to various educational and exciting locations around North Idaho.
5. Take naps.
6. Read.
7. Walk two miles everyday.
8. Sleep in everyday.

Ambitious, I know. I hate to bring this up, because all the working moms out there might actually reach through their monitors and strangle my freckly neck, but staying home in the summer has its own unique sets of problems. Namely boredom and restlessness. I, of course, am not one to suffer from these problems, as you can see from my long and interesting list of things I’ll be doing this summer. Here’s the second, and more interesting part of my list.

Things I’ll do this summer, this time with feeling:

1. Plan out healthy meals that also taste good, even if no one else in the family agrees how good they are.
2. Service our two little money-making candy machines. Wallow in quarters daily.
3. That’s it. This did not warrant a second list at all, did it?

No. It didn’t. I’ll just stop while I’m ahead, then.

That sounds like my plans for the summer. That and sitting in a lawnchair going “Mmhmm, mama’s watching you, baby.”

I don’t even bother with the vague reassurances. I’m reading.

Haha. Good goals. I was walking every day for a while there, but then monsoon season started and we haven’t been out for a walk in more than a week. Today it’s nice enough, but there so much pollen blowing around (yes. i CAN see it!) that we have stayed indoors to paint and/or frolic on the couch with the computer and some cheerios. Happy goal-reaching!

Ooh, that 100 pushups site looks cool. I’m intrigued. It’s actually pretty easy to increase your pushups and see progress quickly.
How ’bout I will do the challenge with you?
Ready? GO!
