Easy like a Thursday morning.

Recharge, Restart, Revitalize

One of my coworkers put it best; working a school district schedule means you get three opportunities to start over each year.  While New Years is when the majority hit the reset button, us school folk have a fresh start to our personal lives as summer begins and professionally in September.

One of my personal restarts was to get the blog going again.  What was once a space to post pics of handbags has evolved (or is being reborn) as a place for all sorts of creativity.  And probably a fair share of musings and rants.  

Here are some of the things I would like to accomplish this summer:

Personal Health

• Walk/Jog 100 miles--I'm using the Run Double Couch to 5K app on my phone to keep track of my distance even though my knees often won't allow me to run consistently.
• Lazer Tag with my nephew Cameron
• Wild Waves with the nephews
• Master Hula Hooping and get an LED hula hoop
• The Electric Run 5K  in August

Craftacular

• Reclaim my craft room.  The laundry and ironing has taken over!
• Make this dress
• Finish up the Amy Butler bag I cut out TWO years ago.  This is how bad I procrastinate.
• Get back to designing handbags.  I used to do this all the time.

Home

• Re-tile the entryway
• Build raised beds for the side of the house 
• Sort out the bookshelf situation.  We have SO MANY BOOKS.

Just for Fun

• Re-read some of my childhood favorites.  I already finished Harriet the Spy.  Such a smart book.
• Meditate.  I always have good intentions to do this every morning and then I hit the snooze button.
• Go the The Grand more often.  Local cinema at its best.
• Play games.  Cribbage, Backgammon, plus I would love to do more board games with my family.
• Host more gatherings at our house.  Because that's the whole reason we bought the house.
• Regular Wine and Whine with my girlfriends.  Seriously crucial.
