GoalsLists. I’m not so much of a list-maker. My grocery lists rarely consist of more than 4-5 items. My thought is if I thoroughly peruse through each and every aisle, I will just rememer all the groceries I need.  Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn’t. I was catching up on my TiVo last night after Henry had gone to bed and started thinking of all the ‘projects’ I wanted to get done this summer.  So I started writing them all down. Started making a ‘list’. They are in no specific order (although strangely losing 10 lbs is LAST on the list!) Lot’s on the agenda for this summer. I still have the Christmas Coasters out that Kimberly gave to me several Christmases ago. Don’t get me wrong- I love the red & white candy swirl design. But it’s June.  They game out last November. I think it’s time. Time to make some swanky, cool new ones with our photos in them. So someone can put their mug, on our ‘mug’.  Ready to start the freezer paper project I talked about a few posts back, Henry’s quiet book, his photo album (yes, he just turned 1 and not a single photo has made it into an album), and try to go on more dates with Chris. Pre-Henry days we used to go to the movies every single weekend.  Embarassingly, we’d ususally go on Friday AND Saturday. We made it out to see the DaVinci Code, but it had been months since we’d been to a theatre before that. And it’s good for the old marriage! So there you have it. My list. Now we’ll see if I can stick to it. Check back with me end of summer.

    I’m a CRAZY list maker. I make lists almost every day…my memory is not so good, and if I don’t write it down, it’s gone. Since I started checking out your blog and a few of the other ones you have links to (specifically, Posie gets Cozy – love that one), I have been inspired to do more crafty projects, but first I decided to finish all of the half-done projects or projects I have bought fabric, etc., for before I dive into anything new. So, I made a LIST of all of the projects I need to complete, and since Thursday I have made four taggies blankets (fleece blankets with ribbon “tags” all around the edge) for friends who have babies. I guess the idea is that babies like to play with tags on things, so give them a whole blanket of them – although the blanket is actually pretty small, more like a toy than an actual keep-you-warm blanket.
    Anyway, I think lists are good – I love to check things off – and I think blogs that inspire you to create are good, too! Thanks, Morgan!

    I so miss movie dates with the Moores and the Fenway theater! When Jason and I went to the Bahamas we went to dinner and a movie twice…first, because there’s not much to do there at night if you don’t drink, and second, because it was such a novelty for us…it took us back to the old days pre-Ethan when that was no big deal =)

    YES! I have been to sprinkles in Beverly Hills… seems kind of insane that 6 cupcakes would run you $20. The cupcakes were good… not FABULOUS but good. Definately worth trying once! The place is tiny!
