With only two more sleeps til I have holidays… I’ve been trying to come up with a hit list of things to do during my time off! I’m excited for summer… last summer I spent up in the Arctic.. (and as fun as that was… it was a different experience!)
- maybe get a glimpse of the Queen…
- Road Trip..to Ontario…back to where I grew up!
- Chill on the beach I’ve been going to since I was a baby…
- Dance like no one’s watching…
- eat lots of Kawartha Dairy ice cream–(and line up in Minden for a large scoop of goodness!)
- Cuddle some babies…
- Road Trip…to London, Ontario…and visit some awesome peeps!
- Laugh til my tummy hurts..
- Go water skiing…
- visit with Great Aunts and Uncles, cousins–1st, 2nd, 3rd and even those 1st, once removed (yep my family is huge!!)…
- Sleep on the beach…
- Road Trip to Buffalo.. with stops in the Niagara Region to visit some more peeps!
- Swim across the lake…
- Do some cliff jumping…
- Take HEAPS of photos…and get lost in my photography…
- Finish knitting a baby sweater for a new baby…(that’s arriving soonish!)
- Sleep… have a lot of naps!
- Drink a few “mother’s ice tea lemonaid’s” (seriously–I’m in love with those guys)…
- Hang out with my nephews..
- round up the things I have left with various people in Ontario.. and go through it and bring whatever I need back to the ‘peg…but get rid of the other things!
- Curl up with a good book…on a rainy day–and well read!
- a few pedicures… and a hair cut by my hairdresser in Toronto!
- Toss in a few family reunions, family bridal showers…and a side of who knows what else!
- Get a tattoo
- Find a hammock and have a nap–while looking over the lake at the cottage… (I know where the hammock is–but let’s hope my Great Aunt and Uncle still have them up!)
- Road Trip back to the ‘peg with my COUSIN!..(with a possible stop on Manitoulian Island to visit friends I made in Nunavut, and a sleepover in a teepee!?!)
- plus much more… I mean I’m not one to actually plan things.. more of a go with the flow kind of gal!
Any other suggestions?! (I’m sure I’ve left things out…) and perhaps I’ll keep a pictorial account of my ‘list’ and keep you. dear readers, in the loop!
Two more sleeps… I can’t wait..I’m in need of some holiday times!! (hopefully I won’t think about my salary getting cut in 1/2 (as of July 1st) as I’m working only a .5 until Christmas! shhhhh perhaps if I don’t think about it might go away!?)
edit note: last night I thought of a few more things… so have randomly added them to the list… I’m sure this is the list that will keep on growing!?
>Umm you forgot visiting the incredible Lockett family
>Locketts: yikes!? how could I forget that road trip… (I've added it!)Sar#2: yep, but don't think I'm going to go bungee jumping this summer, or sailing on a maxi racing yacht..or well body surfing in warm ocean! (but I do have quite a few good things on my list!)
>If you want a good place to get a tattoo – head on over to Living Canvas Tattoo on Saint James Street. I haven't personally got any ink from them, but have known people who have, but I had my nose pierced by Susan in March and she kicked butt..or nose.
>Sounds almost like your Australia hit list!
>How much time off do you have?? That's quite a list. I love the tattoo idea as I love them and have more than a few myself. Have fun!
>Tammy–Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to check them out, I know what I want and where I want it..just need to find someone to do the drawing! Morena– I don't have to go back to work til August 23rd! It will be my first ink.. so I'm excited about it!! 🙂
>I can hardly wait to see you…have a safe trip…btw I love seeing your pics.
