I originally had titled this post &#8220;A summer to-do list&#8221; but that sounded like way to much pressure for the summer. So, here are a handful of things I hope to do this summer. (Sarah had 50. See what I mean about impressive?) I&#8217;m tagging a bunch of other bloggers to join in. If I didn&#8217;t tag you, but you have a blog, please join in anyway! Otherwise, you can add your contributions to the comments.<\/p>\n<p>1. Watch the sunrise or set on the beach.<\/p>\n<p>2. Use all the greens from our CSA without sending anything to compost.<\/p>\n<p>3. Come up with an idea for a new picture book.<\/p>\n<p>4. Go more than 2 days without using the car.<\/p>\n<p>5. Figure out what to do about this blog.<\/p>\n<p>6. Organize and host a board-game <em>seudah shlishit. <\/em>Or any <em>seudah shlishit<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>7. Get back in the habit of doing havdallah, even if we have to wait until Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p>8. Get prints of at least some of the photos I&#8217;ve taken over the last three years and organize them in a photo album.<\/p>\n<p>9. Camp out more than we did last summer (which was twice.)<\/p>\n<p>10. Take advantage of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hrymca.org\/camp-norwich\/norwich-family-center.html\">Norwich Family Center<\/a> more than we did last summer (which was not at all.)<\/p>\n<p>11. Go on at least three dates with my husband (including our anniversary.)<\/p>\n<p>12. Get our money&#8217;s worth from our season pass to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.northamptonma.gov\/recreation\/Musante_Beach\/\">Musante Beach<\/a> (six or more visits.)<\/p>\n<p>13. Exercise more. Eat better.<\/p>\n<p>14. Do no school related work for an entire week.<\/p>\n<p>15. Promote <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g-yoQ1Xz5lA\">The Shabbat Princess<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>16. Go blueberry picking.<\/p>\n<p>17. Eat more meals outside.<\/p>\n<p>18. Borrow lots of great novels from the library and manage to avoid accruing any fines.<\/p>\n<p>OK, now for the meme part.
