Lately, I’m obsessed with making bucket lists. They give me this odd sense of calm, as if adding things to a list makes the possibilities more real.
I have bucket lists for everything: the travel list, the scuba diving list, the before-I-turn-thirty list, the before I’m married list, the general things I’d like to do before I’m dead list. Like I said. Obsessed.
But the thing about bucket lists is, you never seem to actually do anything off the lists. So this summer I’m actually going to try to do everything that I have on my summer bucket list.
Here’s what I have on the list so far:
- Refresh and reorganize my porch
- Run a half-marathon
- Train for a full marathon
- Take my niece to the zoo
- Get a really nice tan
- Spend one full Sunday each month doing nothing
- Visit my college roommate
- Become really good at piping frosting
- Make a twelve-layer cake
- Figure out how to use my SLR camera
- Host a cocktail party
- Clean out my closet
- Craft one item per month off my “DIY Wow List” pinterest board
- Lose ten pounds (and hopefully never find them again!)
- Write on my blog at least three times a week
In the spirit of being a YES, here’s to hoping I get it all done!
What is on your summer bucket list? What are you looking forward to doing this summer?
