Today is my Birthday -- I'm a Summer Solstice baby! To commemorate my 26th year of life, I've made a list, "26 While 26" and will be sharing with you as I complete things I hope to experience and/or achieve.
26 While 26
1. Buy or plant Peonies and enjoy their frilly beauty .
2. Buy a kite and figure out how to fly it.
3. Have a baby, get pregnant or at least be actively trying.
4. Make and sell at least ONE bath and body product. (I can do one, right? That's doable.)
5. Continue to keep this blog, the Quiet Life of Violet up and running.
6. Get a drawing tablet!
7. Go to three concerts.
8. Sew an article of clothing.
9. Visit Leigh-Ann in Missouri (if possible)!
10. Go camping with Bubby.
11. Celebrate our 6 year anniversary with something Old, New, Borrowed and Blue.
12. Read one new book per month.
13. Ride a real train, preferably in the mountains or across the starry plains.
14. Grow real vegetables this summer and eat them.
15. Watch one "classic" movie per month. I need to acquaint myself with some of the best movies ever made!
16. Create my logo, design my business cards, order my supplies and GET MY BUSINESS GOING!
17. Try really hard to make Dustin's lunch (to go to work with him) everyday.
18. Visit (gulp) 10 new beaches this year.
19. Get at least one of the phrase tattoos that I've been dreaming of.
20. Crochet something that doesn't end up looking like a Christmas tree.
21. Build more muscle in my arms and torso (a bubble butt would be nice, too).
22. Do something selfless at least twice a month.
23. Buy a (cute?) record player and play a real record.
24. Keep my car clean. And, by "clean" I mean REALLY clean. Someone get me a hand held dust buster and some window cleaner STAT!
25. Be honest with people. Really honest. Not A-hole blunt honest, but I want to be a good friend and not hold things back.
26. Get 100 followers on this blog. Oh boy, that's a lot. Wish me luck!
Enjoy the longest day of the year!
that's a great list!
