I have all the goals. I can’t help myself. The year goals, the month goals, the week goals, the day goals. And always, always, always the summer goals.
Summer has always felt like a time of doing as well as a time of not-doing. How these two coexist in my mind, I couldn’t say.
The Summer Things
- Read the books
- Use the summer CSA produce
- Take nine credits of classes
- Work through my craftsy, machine quilting class
- Machine quilt the finished quilt tops (three toddler size, two crib size, one twin size)
- Make the napkins
- Write a book of essays
- Travel Utah
- Install my two ceiling fans
- Put up my cake stand shelves
- Build boxes
- Paint the garage
- Figure out how to feed myself lunch and dinner
- See the Grassroots Shakespeare productions
- See the Tuacahn musicals
- Eat the popsicles
- Bask in the sunshine
- Do the yoga
There is one thing I want to make sure I’m not doing this summer: stress buying all the things is out. Things to watch out for particularly:
- kitchen things
- fabric
- cake stands
- supplies
- tools
- organizers
- office things
