summer

Why is it that before summer starts, we make lists of all the things that we want to do - things that we've been pushing off, things that we mean to do but don't have time for, things that we just push off.... and we save it all for the summer. We say "I'll have plenty of time then! I'll just wait! I'm not really doing much, so i'll just put it off!" But then summer comes. We spend half the summer remembering all the things that we want to do... but don't feel like staring yet. We say, oh, i'll just take a break, read this book for today - tomorrow i'll do it all! But when tomorrow comes, we just keep procrastinating. The worst feeling, though, is at the end of the day, realizinig that you did nothing all day other than read a book or talk on IM or play on the computer or blog. Then you think to yourself, well, duhhh i did nothing! There was nothing to do! But then you realize all the things that you wanted to do this summer - and then that you have done only one or two things on a page long list!!!!!

Things i meant to do this summer:
1. catch up with making my scrapbook
2. put all my pics into albums
3. sew a denim case for my camera
4. sew a purse out of an old denim skirt
5. go into boston with shiffy and sarah
6. take driver's ed
7. get more exercise
8. spend more time outside
9. go to the mall with shiffy
10. clean my desk
11. clean out my closet
12. clean out my dresser


guess how many of those got done?

#6, 3, 2 are all almost done. The only one I'm guarunteed to finnish is 6.
Wether the rest will happen... your bet is as good as mine!!

Admit it, #6 only got done because someone put down money for you to do it...

Truthfully, I share your sentiments. this year I didn't even try to make a list.

yup. i admit it...
BUT it was shiffy, who got me to actually sit there and get my Ps to put down the $ and all, and not just forget about it. So i think all the credit goes to her....
this sucks. The thing that i'm getting done isn't even to my credit - it's my friends....
