If these aren't signs summer is knocking on the door, then
Of course, this calls for a list. If you know me at all you know this is a must and my blog title alone alerted you to another Sweet B's Type-A lists. So, let's hop to it. My SUMMER bucket list looks like....
- drink freshly squeezed lemonade and often
- invite friends and family over for a cookout
- get back into running with the hubby
- drink at least 60 oz of water daily
- buy a new pair of cheap, brightly colored sunglasses
- cross off some DIY projects
- hit up garage sales!
- make 1 night a week HOMEMADE PIZZA night
- take a few day trips (to some outlet malls and the West Side Market)
- make homemade gifts for friends and family
- enjoy my morning coffee on the deck
- get Mr. B to take me to more fairs and festivals
- and, of course, consume as many vinegar-soaked fair fries as possible
- go berry picking (but it has to be with Mama and my aunt because these adventures are hilarious)
- learn or try 1 new thing
- throw a themed party
- hit up the batting cages
- miniature golf!
- visit a new place
- make homemade ice cream in a coffee can
- make 1 night a week SALAD night (it's too hot to cook)
- take my yoga practice outside
- VOLLEYBALL!
- enjoy daily walks to the park
- multiple park picnics
- go to the Drive-In (Mr. B and I haven't been since our early dating days)
- put my homemade ice cream maker to more use this summer (I say this every summer and then end up only using it once or twice)
- buy a few new sun dresses (ooh and hats!)
- cross off a few 30 before 30 items
- star-gaze on the garage roof
- paint the living room
- re-design a few old T-shirts
- make 1 night a week TACO night (with plenty of avocado)
- go to the zoo
- finally buy the contraption that will allow me to make popsicles. YUM.
- read 8 more books on my Bingo Card (so far 9 spaces are complete)
- cross off a few Life Bucket items
- more date nights with Mr. B
- more family game nights on the patio
- tend my garden a little more often this year
- roast some pizzas and pies over a bonfire
- FIREWORKS
- enjoy multiple corn-on-the-cob-and-watermelon dinners
- make weekly trips to the Farmer's Market
- fondue dinner
- dance in the rain...or a water fight sounds good too
- get in plenty of car washes
- make banana splits
- indulge in homemade peach cobbler
- possibly a theme park...
With Love and God Bless,

love your lists but I just have to point something out. According to your list your menus for the week are nearly planned!! Between tacos, salad, homemade pizza and the grilling out I know you will do there is no need for planning for the whole summer. Go you!
ReplyDeletePlus the corn and watermelon dinners....I know, I know. I tell you what. GENIUS. Bottle it up, my friends. :)
DeleteI might have to steal the book bingo idea, though the way I read it won't take me too long!
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I put a copy of the BINGO Card on your desk :)
