My Goals for the Summer

I realize that next week at this time, I will be on Summer vacation. I also realize that if I want to have a fruitful and crazy awesome Summer I must have goals. This is why I am creating TEN GOALS for my Summer vacation, first off, however, I will show you what this website wants me to do with my summer

1 Hold a Skee-Ball tournament with your pals at the arcade. At 25 cents a pop, the fun 'n' games won't break the bank. The champ gets all the prize tickets!

uhm.......


2 Make a summer scrapbook. Include everything--even the little stuff. The price tag from your fave sundress, amusement park ticket stubs, photo booth pics of you and the crew and vacation postcards are all awesome additions to your book. It'll be a summer you'll never forget.

uhm...

3 Grow a green thumb! Purchase some packets of flower seeds--cosmo, poppy, sunflower (unsalted, of course!)--and plant them in your own garden patch. Tending to your sprouts will keep you super-busy, and it's oh-so satisfying to watch as your blooms blossom.

uhm... *begins looking uneasy*

4 Rent a tandem bike for a day. It's a bicycle built for-two. Grab a pal, hop on and pedal off for some good laughs: Yeah, it's goofy.... So what?

uhm... *starts twitching*

5 Get a cool deck of cards, and enjoy tons of fun playing Butthead, Blitz and Blackout with your pals. Don't know how? Check out www.pagat.com to learn these and other games--and a few you can play by yourself, too.

*can no longer say uhm and stares blankly at the screen, still twitching*

6 Do some flower projects. Pluck a few wildflowers from a field, and press them between the pages of a phone book for about two weeks until dry. Then, use them to decorate stationery, picture frames, bookmarks, whatever. Surprise friends and family with your flower creations--just as nice as a bouquet!

But... I'd... why... uhm...

7 Head for the nearest gumball machine. Now, get four gumballs for a buck for you and each of your girls, and have a contest to see who blows the biggest bubble.

Yes. This is exactly how I plan to spend my summer.... *twitching resumes*

8 Speaking of bubbles... Hit the kiddie section of the dollar store, and buy a few bottles of soapy bubbles. You're never too old to blow bubbles!

....

9 Buy some zany sunglasses, and wear them in public. They can be ultra-glam, ultra-goofy, ultra-big, ultra-anything! The trick is to find a pair that really attracts attention. You're guaranteed to have an ultra-hilarious day!

haha. haha. haha. no.

10 Play the claw machine two times for a buck. You knaw--the one in which you try to pluck prizes with a mechanical crane. Yeah, it's usually a waste of money... but it's sooo irresistible!

yes. irresistible. sure. no.

11 Fly a kite on a windy day. Haven't flown a kite since you were a tot? You're missing out! It's not easy to keep that thing gracefully floating up there--but that's what makes it challenging! Fly your kite on the beach or in an open field, where the wind is often at its strongest mph.

yes. i love standing around holding a string for hours watching a piece of cloth in the air. I would only ever do this during a lightening storm when the kite had a key attached.... and the handle was plastic.

No. here ar MY goals for the summer:

1. Learn all words in Our House by Madness, Can't Touch This by MC Hammer, and at least one Queen song besides Bohemian Rhapsody

2. Watch 1 classic movie each week (excluding weeks when I am on vacation)

3. Learn dance to Thriller

4. Write at least 10,000 words a week for my book that i am writing which i will not tell you anything about at all

5.hmmm..... i need to make up six more goals by Friday. HELP ME DO THIS MY READER(S)! POST SUGGESTIONS IN COMMENT FORM!!!
