summer 2011 goals

after seeing danielle's post, i decided to compile my own list of summer goals. especially since i forgot to post my april goal list >.<

1. RELAX! no matter how much time i spend on the couch over the weekends, sometimes it just doesnt feel relaxing enough. i need to find a pool and dip my feet in while reading a book. oh, with a cold beverage in my hand. now that is what i call relaxing!

2. speaking of books, im going to take a cue from danielle and make a summer reading list. im bad about checking books out at the library and not touching them for the first 2 weeks! so i think 3 books between may-aug is doable for me.

3. do more activities outside. this is a tough one as it usually gets up to the 100's in july & august so i dont now how much i can handle. but even if its sitting on my patio with a glass of wine and laptop, that should work.

4. take a stab at playing tennis. we have a tennis court at our gym and i have been wanting to play for years! maybe this is my year?!

5. eat healthier, but still enjoy myself! this is also a tough one... i seem to always have a hard time finding a balance between the two. i believe im getting a little better at it.

6. take as many getaways as possible! we have a beach trip planned for august but im hoping to take a few "day-cations" here and there with my babe.

7. finish decorating the house. we have FINALLY decided on all the decor we want so now its on to finding said decor! mike is also turning our computer room into a man-cave... fine with me, i get to do anything to the rest of the house in return! :D

8. spend more time with my niece & nephew. i dont get to see them as often as i would like to. im hoping to take a day off during the week every now and then and have a sleep over with them.

9. get to my 1st weight loss goal. im still not there! 2 steps forward and 5 steps back, always! its getting frustrating but its nobody's fault but my own. i will not give up!

10. more date nights. me and mike came up with an idea... every month we will take turns planning 1 date night each. it can be anything! a surprise movie trip, cooking dinner at home, picnic in the park or even a surprise shopping trip! obviously that would be fun for only me :) we just spend too much time at home in front the tv so i want to add a little "courtshipping" to our relationship!

well friends there you have it. i think this list is pretty doable! leave a link to your blog if you post your own summer goals :)
