Summer Resolutions

January is the completely wrong time to be making promises to ourselves. We plan and resolve, then promptly crawl back under a mountain of fuzzy blankets and sleep for a few more months. I know I'm guilty of that. Back at the beginning of the year I came up with a bunch of goals for 2012, like I always do for the new year, but this year I'm doing something a little different: half-year goals. Instead of making vague promises and forgetting about them until next January, I'm going to make some goals for the warm months when I can actually act on them.

This summer I'd like to do the following:

• Skydive
• Learn to ride a motorcycle
• Take a trip to California
• Have an awesome Star Wars party
• Get rid of stuff at a yard sale
• Swim at least one mile without stopping

That's it. Short and sweet.
