VII: Summer To Do List

I created a Summer To Do List early in June. I've completed half of the items I listed! Quite an accomplishment for me-- and the summer is not yet over.

Metropolitan Museum of Art (Superheroes exhibition and Jeff Koons)
Guggenheim (Louise Bourgeois exhibit)
Botanical Gardens (Henry Moore exhibit)
See Hellboy II
See Wall-E
See new Batman movie
Finish David Sedaris book
Read The Wisdom of Whores: Bureaucrats, Brothels, and the Business of AIDS
Sign up for post-grad certificate class
Eat at dog-friendly restaurant
Finish sewing class and project
Go to the beach more than 1 time
Get rid of all excess clothing (donate or sell)
Buy awesome raincoat and tons of Polaroid film
Book vacation to someplace awesome

I am almost done with the new David Sedaris (When You Are Engulfed in Flames) book, which is so good and so funny-- and I am hyper critical. I literally laugh outloud when reading it (and get weird looks from the bf). I'm a slow reader and tend to read a few books at a time, so it takes me forever to finish a book... I managed to sell a few items of clothing on eBay, but then the traffic seemed to slow down (recession?)... Finished my first sewing class and made a skirt and top. Now I'm a sewing maniac, fixing hems and collars left and right... Going to Central America with the bf and two friends in the fall, which should be amazing... Due to a tight budget (newly put in place by moi), the "awesome raincoat and tons of Polaroid film" has been put on hold... As for enrolling in the post-grad certificate class, that might have to wait until the spring.
