Doing this project in the month of August and the start of school was a bit nutty. It's a really busy time of year. What that meant was that I was not able to do all the activities that I really wanted to do. So in the spirit of full disclosure and for my own future reference, here's a list of activities I wanted to do but didn't manage to fit in - and my plan to do them.
- Poetry workshop - I had this all lined up but it was the night my in-laws arrived. But it's monthly so I 'm going tonight and hopefully every month.
- Writing workshop/retreat - I'll be doing one this month as well.
- Shakespeare in the Park - I'll have to try and do this next summer.
- Full sail with my husband - I can't believe I didn't manage to fit that in!
- Day of cooking with my mom - I really wanted to make a whole bunch of her signature dishes and get the recipes written down.
- A fun "intimacy" workshop with a girlfriend - it was cancelled but we'll be doing it later this month. (Don't tell my husband.)
- Drumming class - why is there no bongo's in the park in Toronto? I did find a drumming class that is every Thursday night so I'm going to try and hit this in the next couple months.
- Favourite food day - Start the day with Eggs Benedict. Have sushi for lunch and then Thai food for dinner. And then some chocolate in there somewhere ... and maybe popcorn.
- Have some pictures taken with my kids - Been meaning to do this for ages.
- Green smoothie challenge or juice cleanse - inspired by an awesome friend.
- The Minimalists 21 day challenge with my clothes - this is where you pack everything up as if you're moving and then you only take out what you need over the next 21 days, and then you toss/donate everything else.
- Zumba
- Go see a stand-up comedy show - I used to do this all the time in high school when I was underage. I love stand-up comedy! (when it's good.)
- Something with my "Fear-Not Club" - this is a couple of girlfriends and we try to do things that scare us a little bit or a lot. We have something scheduled for this weekend.
