My Summer Bucket List
Come on, you didn’t think I WASN’T going to have one, did you?
I think summer is the perfect time to take on some new challenges…and to take advantage of warm weather opportunities. I’m trying to challenge myself a bit but not too much – I do want to have a relaxing summer!
And remember, if you write your goals down, you are exponentially more likely to actually DO them!
- Have a sleepover, somewhere, anywhere. Just get the heck out of Dodge for a change of scenery.
- Make a dress! Yep, I’m gonna do it. Breaking out the %$^^%$%@! machine and gonna try and break it’s will so it will do my bidding. We’ll see who wins.
- Make yummy popsicles. I say this Every Year and it never happens. I actually even know where the popsicle molds are. Anyone got a favorite summery combination? I’m not averse to boozy popsicles.
- Take a shopping break. There. I said it. Now I have to do it. No clothes shopping in July. Unless those Billum bags ever go on sale. Or I find the Tahari linen dress I’ve been scouring all the local TJ Maxx and Marshalls for! But that’s it!
- Make/do art. I think about it. I buy the supplies. I watch YouTube videos. But something always stops me from actually doing anything.
- Get all the boxes out of the living room. That’s not a fun one, but…I took a month off from divesting myself of extraneous stuff, now it’s time to get back to it. Do you have a home clean-up project you’ve been putting off?
- Shoot with film. I’ve been meaning to do this for A Long Time. What am I waiting for?? I so love the look of it! I might even just get myself a disposable film camera to make it easy for myself!
- Go someplace new on Long Island. It’s not that big a place, and I’ve lived here a LONG time…but there are still places I’ve never been. There probably are in your area, too!
- Do something nice for someone…secretly! I already have an idea for this one, I just need to DO IT.
- Make My Vision Great Again! (aka get new glasses) (finally).
Do you do a summer bucket list or are you just a free spirit floating along til September? Let me know!

Well, I didn’t have a bucket list but now I feel compelled! So, I bought new running/walking shoes so I’m going to start to regularly exercise. Paint my pasture fence. Go on vacation. Move my plants around so my landscaping is perfect. Start using my art supplies too. There! Thanks for making me do that!

We just threw away our Popsicle molds…I love the idea of them, but we just wouldn’t eat them much.
That’s exactly what we’ve been doing with the blog…exploring our area. It’s been SO much fun…you need to let us join you when you go!!
As for art…I saw you making some!! So there’s one done!!
And check on my blog tomorrow for glasses. Granted you need to get the prescription updated, but I have a bunch of companies to save you money on the glasses. It’s amazing how much they can cost otherwise.
My bucket list? Moving. Need I say more?
XOOX

Yeah, Moving trumps Bucket List any day. Ha ha!
I’ve never used a mail order glasses company. I’m so particular about glasses and usually try on like every pair in the case before settling on one, I don’t know how mail order would work for me.
I saw somewhere (IG stories maybe?) that you’re headed down to AZ soon to look at some places. Def send pictures! I love looking at houses and apartments. I STILL look at apartments EVERY. DAY. cuz you just never know what might turn up. Or your landlord tell you you have to move out next month. Ha.

You make that dress, gf! I can’t wait to see it! And shooting with film- yes, how cool is that? You should totally do it.
Wishing you a happy weekend ahead!

Ha ha, the Bettye Made Dress will be a wonder to behold, I’m sure! I’ll be sure to share it…if only for the comedic value!

No bucket list here. I’m just trying to get through every day 🙂
Yours sounds great though and we want a report.
Grace & Peace,Iris
