It’s just about time for another Make My List Monday… but this week is a MAGIC edition, as I promised photos from the magical birthday and costume party to some of you…
However, this weekend was also magical because of the astounding number of creatures witnessed in a 24 hour period:
- Wild Turkeys
- Doe and fawn
- Scary prehistoric spider
- Tiny turtle
- Dragonflies and Damselflies (and man-go-round even taught me the difference)
- Huge chestnut colored horses
- Butterflies
- Loon
- Bald Eagle
- -Cows (but not the bull I sometimes see!)
We had a great time at the party (and my mom graciously fixed my dollar store wings when they broke after 4 and 1/2 minutes), there were three Harry Potters, 2 canisters of pixie dust, 27 pairs of wings, and more wands than I’ve ever seen in one place. No one found the golden snitch.
This week, I finally feel like I can breathe a bit as summer nears its end. There has been such a whirlwind of events all summer I kind of just want to relax! However, I still need to make my list, so here it is:
1. Finish watching and return season 6 of Weeds to the library. We’ve been doing this one in little marathons, and am VERY HAPPY they are so short! We’ve just gotten past Zack Morris’ guest appearance and laughed pretty hard at that.
2. Finally, a haircut. My brother-in-law today noticed how unbelievably long my hair has gotten. When guys start to notice how fast your hair grows, its time to tame the beast. I can’t wait.
3. Play around with Picnik, Illustrator, Photoshop.
4. Start a new book. Perhaps something by Wendy Holden or a travel book. Why? Because I finally finished Bossypants this morning and was able to return it to my poor sister.
5. Tally up votes from M’sTV awards and maybe learn how to make a graph.
6. Make a long put-off stop at the Whole Foods near my hair salon and ignore the expense in the name of final delicious summer produce.
7. Make a daytime visit to the Mall of America. Yes, this close to school starting. No, I’m not a masochist, I just miss that H&M and that Nordstrom… wish me luck…
So what the heck are you guys all going to do this week? Have you started slowing down at the end of summer, or are you still going strong?
And keep voting for M’sTV Awards- I’ll be adding a few more before the winners are announced!
