#52 Throw a Paper Airplane off a Bridge

One of my best friends in the whole wide world is leaving for college this week. Its been rough, I'm super excited for her and happy that she has this opportunity, but at the same time super sad that she'll be leaving and I won't see her for a very long time.

I told her promptly that she cannot leave until we had a date together! Thus, we went out. We went to this really cozy coffee shop downtown, then just walked around and chatted forever. it was great.. I'm so happy that we had this time to be together before she leaves.

Downtown there are these really pretty bridges, and walking across them triggered my memory about having to throw a paper airplane off of a bridge, so I immediately asked Sadie if she had a piece of paper, and would you know it, she did. So, I took the paper and, with some help by Sadie, I made a beautiful paper airplane. We then walked to the bridge, and I threw it off. It was great.

I will miss Sadie, she's been my friend since we were in diapers. But I am so happy for her. And I am so happy that we are friends. =]

#36 Carve Name into Tree

Well, it was just one of those days.

I was feeling especially giddy that day, and I was looking to do something exciting. Well.. I decided to look on my summer list and see if there was anything I could check off. My eyes happened to glance at the carve name into a tree on the list. I figured that wouldn't be too hard to do. so, I grabbed myself a sturdy knife, and walked out into my front yard where the tree-that-kinda-turned-into-a-bush was. Anyway..I went at it, I was originally gonna carve my name, but I decided I would just carve in my initials .. much easier.

So, that was that. It was easy and quick, and it got me a another check mark.

#60 Bury a Time Capsule.

Hello again, folks.

I'm writing today, to tell you of more things I have checked off my list! I have become a master procrastinator lately and my blog writing has become few. So, here I am!

Well, about a week ago, I decided to try and check off Burying a time capsule. So, I found myself a christmas popcorn tin, and put all my keepsakes inside. So.. I proceeded to go in the back yard, and dig myself a hole. I will admit, digging a hole isn't the easiest task. a while later.. I had my hole. I was mighty proud of it too. Anyway, I gently placed the tin in the hole.. and proceeded to bury it. And there it was, I had buried my time capsule. =]

I'm very happy I completed this task of mine.

So, ten years from now... I will see to digging up that tin!

#9 Fly a Kite

Last weekend, I went to a friends wedding. It was a lovely wedding! The bride was radiant and beautiful, the groom was handsome and dashing. the weather was perfect, the location was splendid. the colors were excellent and the guests were excited for the new couple. I had a great time celebrating with them.

 One of the activities they had a available was kite flying. they had a miriad of kites, and anybody could come and fly a kite and be happy. I couldn't pass up the opportunity, so I picked up my kite and attempted to toss it into the sky and catch the wind. I admit my kite didn't fly as high or well as I would hope, but it was fun, and it definitely brought happiness to my soul. Flying kites will do that for ya.

So, there ya go.. I have flown my kite for the summer. Check!

#24 Write a Poem

I have had this one done for awhile.. I just haven't had the time really to update my blog, my life has kind of been a whirlwind lately.. I've so busy and tired. But, alas..I have come to tell of my poem I have written. I'm not exactly what you would call a poet..but I've done my best.

My poem today has to do with my work. As some of you well know, I work at a daycare center. This summer has been crazy.. I've worked so much, thus why I am so busy and tired. But it has been good, and I have enjoyed it greatly.

I came home one day from work. I thought that now would be a good time to write a poem, so I did. And since I came from work, I had it in mind. Therefore, I have a written a poem about the children at my work. It goes like this.

"Oh, the children at my work.
they never fail to make me smirk.
when they go out and play
it is never a boring day.
when they are bad
I sometimes get mad.
but at the end of the day
everything is just okay."

Well, there it is. its not amazing or great.. but it is what it is.. and I'm quite proud of it. :D

#39 Jump into a pool fully clothed.

Hello readers,

Yes, its been awhile.. I have kind of fallen into that time of summer where I feel completely lazy and unproductive.. but alas! I have a bucket list item to report! That's right, I have jumped into a body of water with my clothing on.

It was the week of Highschool camp, I had gone up to serve as a dishwasher, I worked hard. But, indeed.. I was not scrubbing gum off plates the whole time, I did have lots of time to enjoy myself.

during one of those times, I walked into town with my two lovely friends, and a few other girls from camp. My friends had already planned to jump off the docks, fully clothed. ... I know what you're thinking, you would think I was all for jumping off with them, considering this was exactly what I put on my summer bucket list. but indeed, I did not want to.. I was being a party pooper... I told my friends that I would jump off some other day.

But when it came down to actually doing the deed, my friends had convinced me that jumping off was worth it. so I did, I jumped off that dock... fully clothed.

I was so glad I did, it really was worth it.
So there ya go, # 39 down..

until next time, readers.
