Just so you know. I am still doing Project 365. I have only missed a few days and overall have loved the project. You've all heard this before. Anyhoo, life got busy and I couldn't keep up with it all so I let the blogging part slip. I feel okay with that. I put way too much pressure on myself to do so many things. I just need to let some things go.
I still love to read blogs and follow probably too many. Well, now that school is almost over. (Yay! 4 days baby!) I've been thinking a lot about how I'm going to make the most of my summer. I remember last year feeling a little depressed on the last day of school because I knew summer would be over in a blink of an eye. And it was. I recently read on another blog of making a list of 100 things to do during the summer. I thought this was a great idea. We all have those days where we slowly roll out of bed, ho hum around the house, get it sorta clean, then think, "now what?" I hate when my day has passed me by and I didn't do anything memorable. So with this list, I will always have an idea of what to do. I have probably spent way too much time putting this together. I have done a lot of research on fun and free places to go. I also put things on my list that I need to personally get done. Some will be a one time deal, others will be take longer to get done, and some will be a daily endeavor.
These are in random order. If you live around me and have any questions on any of these activities, please feel free to email me or send me a note on facebook.

Awesome list, Sis! I hope I can help mark a few of those off. :o) Love you!
Wow! You guys are going to have a fun-filled summer! That gave me some good ideas. I especially like number 44: TP-ing the Animal Farm.
PS- You were missed last night at the FHE gathering. Hope you are feeling better!
Good list! I will be proud of myself for even doing 2 of those things this summer. LOL
Wow, that list wore me out! I saw the list on that other blog and thought the same thing...do I have the energy for this?! LOL! It looks awesome though; is there somewhere that I can sign up to do some of these things with you? ;)
Wow! Good job. Thanks for doing all of the work, now I'm going to steal some of your ideas. :)
LEt's do some together! I love being out and doing. IT's so fun. Hey- your sand: go to daybreak lake. they have a small beach. It's so fun for the kids. Call me, we will go together!
Oh, and for the record.....The one who said that was the "pusher's" grandma-who just so happens to be Jadyn's "step" grandma. Now you can say why I was so upset. That said....the pusher's mom continuously says nothing when he pushes either of my kids. He NEVER gets in trouble. And I will admit that I almost feel bad for him because they are doing him a huge disservice in my eyes. Anyway...just talking about it makes me so mad! We really need to get together. There are so many things on your list I want to do!
Great list Mon. I guess I will see you next fall.
I would love to get together and do some of those with you, especially the Pedicure one!! Maybe Allie and I can sign up to do them with you at least once a week or something like that. It's an awesome list, I should do one as well... Who knows maybe I will.
That is a great list!
Re: Seminary Question-
Yes...I wish I still had the chance to teach it!

What fun and what a great idea! I'm so impressed at your uber-list. I'd like to do at least a couple of fun things this summer. Now I just need to get up and get dressed every morning...
