Reading tons of Chicklit---I call them my 'Mindless Summer Reads'
Painting the house (this is not one of my fun summer activities)
Walking around town, going to the art galleries and boutiques
Attending First Thursday events in my town (the first Thursday of every month during the summer they shut down the main street in my town and there are arts & crafts vendors, street performers and food). So much fun.
Going to the Music Festival and Restaurant Festival in my town
entertaining EVERYONE this summer (3 18 yr. olds next weekend....i'm excited about them though!)
i just got back from pop. 300 town in mn. visiting my 89 yr. old grandma (possibly going back in sept.). and caught a TON of fish and ate them!
going back to the old college to visit friends for labor day weekend (hitting up the last weekend at the NJ shore).
volunteering camping trip in TN mid-sept. to clean up trails, etc... (i'm nervous cuz it's all my bf's work friends and i'm the youngest by far!)
day to day:
just got back into my regular gym visits (kinda stopped when i got mono)
going to the beach and buying a mag. on the way there (by the time i finish the mag, it means that i had enough sun)
riding my bike
volunteering at a free clinic (it makes me feel sooo good!)
working at bcbg on my "days off" (i don't consider that job "work")
grilling a ton
going to cubs games
exploring the city (i moved here about a year ago, and i still find myself telling people that i just moved to chicago).
eating sherbert and fudgesicles
enjoying the ac!

beach starting this weekend... it's been overcast where i live prior to this week but today it's hot at blazes so i think this weekend should be good for the beach
Spending wayyy to many hours poolside with Hot Neighbor.
Going to so many baseball games that I'm now BFF with the mascot.
Working on my catalog. I'm nearly done!!
Looking for dates! Being single is getting bo-ring.
Trying to convince my friends that it'd be really fun to have smores on a picnic blanket in the park. Gosh, how could that NOT be a good time? I'll even throw in some yummy champagne!
Organizing a city wide scavenger hunt to make up for the G smores picnic in the park.
Planning on touring a winery or at least attending a wine tasting event somewhere in town.
In two weeks, I'm floating the river down in San Marcos, Tx. I'm sooooooo excited! This will be me:
Hopefully I won't nearly die this year. Also, I've persuaded my brother to let me stop and shop til I drop in the outlets around there before we leave. Yay!
