Thursday Thirteen - The Summer

Published by AmandaF at 7:54 am under World Cup 2006, Thursday Thirteen, For Fun, Everyday Living


Thirteen Plans/Hopes for the summer

  1. Brazil wins the World Cup 2006.
  2. If not Brazil, then maybe Portugal…
  3. If not Brazil or Portugal, then maybe Germany
  4. Read the book “Parenting with Grace”.
  5. Read the book “Creative Correction” by Lisa Whelchel
  6. Take the kids swimming.
  7. Take the kids fishing.
  8. Visit some place new.
  9. Lose some weight - At least 10 lbs
  10. Eat some vegetables from the vegetable garden we’ve planted.
  11. See all my new plants bloom and prosper! I’ve planted a couple of Rose of Sharon, four Hydrangeas, 4 canna lily, five dahlia and a miniature rose.
  12. Get a new patio - hopefully flagstone.
  13. A new wakway from the front to the back of the house

    Great TT! I miss my veggie garden - I hope yours is plentiful!

    I played too

    I would love to lose 10 pounds. And to get my side bed finished is my hope! Our veggie garden is just not doing well this year but I can keep hoping! Great list of things to do!
    Thanks for visiting my T13!

    I would love to lose 25 pounds, but I guess sitting in front of my computer visiting the great bunch of other TTers is much more important today. I want to paint 2 of my bedrooms this summer!
    Great list!
    My TT is up!

    I’ve lost 5 so far but need to lose much more than 10;-) DH and I have joined Weight Watchers together. Thanks for reminding me that I really need to finish weeding my flower bed…not much planted these last two years….my goal right now is to just get some lava rocks down (the dog digs up my mulch;-) so it at least doesn’t look overgrown. Hope you have fun with your kids;-) Great list.
    Thanks for visiting my TT.

    thanks for stopping by!
    I need to do #9 and a vegetable garden sounds great!

    I hope you post pics of your plants; I love gardening but need all the inspiration I can get!

  7. # naton 22 Jun 2006 at 9:43 am

    #10 can help with #9!! Good luck!!

    I hope you get all of your summer wishes!

    I saw, when you signed my map, that you’re in Chantilly. I’m in Fair Lakes. We’re neighbors!

    I hope you accomplish some of these goals! I’m with you on #9! ;)

  10. # Christinaon 22 Jun 2006 at 10:22 am

    What a great list, and I hope you get all your wishes! Wow - I’m in awe, you have a vegetable garden! My grandfather was quite the talented gardener but unfortunately I didn’t inherit that skill. I can’t keep any plants alive.

    Thanks for the visit!

    I’ve been able to take my son swimming this summer…it was wonderful! Our apartment complex has two pools, so it’s great to just walk down and dip our feet in the cool, refreshing water!

    Have a great Thursday…and I hope you can get your kids to the pool soon!

  20. # Kailon 22 Jun 2006 at 1:42 pm

    Seeing all the kids at the swimming pools or at the beach is definitely a sign that summer is here! Hope you have a great one!

    My house is World Cup crazy right now…We watched two games today and have the whole schedule down straight. My ds 2 is so excited because he is getting a jersey from Germany from his uncle who is over there visiting.

    Sounds like you have a busy time planned….enjoy!!
