You don't even want to know that craziness that has been our life lately. There's been many ups and downs, nothing too major - just enough to stress you out good for about a week at a time. Many things at this point still need to be finalized in lots of areas in our life - but I needed to get back to blogging. I missed this; this blank field to type away my thoughts in, and I'm glad to be back at it, back to less stress and more goals.
1. Focus on getting a few things getting some things crossed off my "27 Before 28 List." Some of the things I want to work on and complete are: mail my hair for my donation, start reading another book, finish off entries I started in my blank book (which I am documenting all twenty six items on my list), start reading the book Brittany lent me, plan a weekend getaway for Justin and I and surprise him with it, have a picnic in front of the fireplace - just to see more progess, as I've only crossed one thing off my list so far.
2. Do something off of my Pinterest boards (cook it, decorate it, make it, do it).
3. Get my brother to make me a CD with fun songs on it that I've loved for a long time, but have come back into my life recently due to the radio station that I've been listening to lately. For instance: Prince "Raspberry Beret," Men At Work "Land Down Under," Golden Earring "Twilight Zone."
4. Enjoy our long weekend together, as it will be the last weekend (probably in three months) that Justin and I will get to spend together. Hunting is all that boy can think about lately. And now that he's taken up bow hunting, it's expanded hunting season from about one month to about three months! All I am reminded of this year, is what my cousin Amanda wrote as advise for me at my bridal shower "take up a good hobby - hunting season is long!" (Pictures are between Great Falls and Shelby on I-15 on our way back home on our first anniversary on August 21, 2011.)
5. Do five spontaneous things with Justin during the week (as he'll be gone 3/4 weekends, and taking the 9th off as well). Justin and I have major issues with spontaneity, and I don't know when it really happened, but we need to shake it up a bit here and there.
6. Cook ten fall meals. I'm talking soups from scratch, casseroles, crock pot meals, and meals cooked in my tupperwear stack cooker. Good, wholesome, warm and flavourful dishes!
7. Take more pictures, and blog more. I'm thinking to get started back into blogging again, to do ten more blog posts during the month.
8. Have a relaxing bubble bath at least once a week. The cooler temperatures just make me want to jump into a warm bath!
9. Get another hair cut. Seriously, my hair has grown SO much since I chopped it all off. And I can't believe now that it was ever that long, when this comparatively short cut is driving me nuts!
Now for June's update: 0/6 completed to what I see as successful. I honestly just didn't want to think at all during the supper, and it was really evident in this resulting grade!
