Birthday Month

Yay! August is my birthday month. I’ve decided to celebrate all month long, in my usual way of creating a list of things-I-want-to-do. Since my birthday is on the 17^th, I will list 17 things-to-do. They have to be fun, easy, want-to, feel-good things and I have to finish the list by the end of the month.

1. try a new restaurant
2. buy myself flowers
3. send a card to someone else
4. check out that new bookstore
5. visit 17 new blogs
6. donate 17 items
7. go to the movies at a theater or drive-in
8. bake a cake
9. buy myself a present
10. buy someone else a present
11. one blues festival (or two? or three??)
12. buy a cd of a new artist
13. visit an art gallery or museum
14. read a magazine that I’ve never seen before
15. send a cd to someone else
16. Try 3 new foods from Trader Joe’s
17. walk a new trail

For some of these things, I already have ideas. I have ordered a new magazine, one that I’ve never read before. I know a trail that I’d like to try. I often drive passed an art gallery that looks really cool, maybe I’ll buy myself a gift there. I have a list of at least five restaurants I’d like to eat at. But for some of them, I have no idea where they will take me. I will let you know how it goes.
