summer check-in

hello.

life is busy. i'm doing by best to keep busy, and i realized that i'm actually doing a good job of checking things off of my list for the summer!

i went back to look at all the things i wanted to do, and here are the things i've accomplished so far:

~toured Eastern State Penitentiary- Mimi and Jeff and i had a sunday funday and went on the audio tour. and it was really cool!! i strongly recommend it if you like...history and...prisons. (no really, it was cool.)
~picnic at valley forge. its beautiful there. and peaceful. i'll probably go back when it's not so humid.
~i've been to Rehobeth beach once! and i'm hopefully going again this weekend, and again in august (if not sooner) :)
~i have eaten more seafood- i went out for an amazing greek seafood meal two weeks ago. i hope to have fresh crabs this weekend in rehobeth. yum i'm exciting just thinking about it.
~i'm still working on my scarf and am in the process of knitting a hat for caitlin. celine got a hat when she was visiting a few weeks ago- and there are more to come!
~i started hanging out with some girls from work! i went to a bbq this weekend with some of them- and while i was nervous at first- because i didn't really know a lot of people and i'm pretty sure i was the only single person there, but it was fun! and i'm glad that i went- and i told myself "diana- when people invite you places, you go- because otherwise you stop getting invited". and so i went, and i had fun, and i hope to do it again!

i have been working on the positivity thing- it is hard to remember sometimes. i'm also working on flossing daily, but i think i've increased my flossing at least, which is good. i am also working on telling people i care about them. i think it's important, especially because i've been so out of it lately- it feels nice to reconnect with people.
i am actively trying to ride a vespa- i keep seeing them everywhere! but there's never anyone on one that i can ask for a ride. plus, it will be super creepy of me to approach someone on their vespa and ask for a ride around the block- but i feel like somehow i can make this happen.
i'm also still in the process of cleaning/streamlining. i cleaned the bedroom when my mom was visiting two weeks ago- so that was progress. Still have to work on the living room though. help is always appreciated!!!

things i'm adding to my list for the summer:

the magic garden
keep trying to teach myself how to whistle
maybe learn to cartwheel

i think that one month into summer i'm doing a pretty good job of tackling the list. who knows- maybe by fall i really will have done them all!!
