So today it hit me that I only have about 24 days left of my summer vacation. Wait, what? 24 days? After the wave of panic washed over me I immediately got into list mode. Here are some things that I hope to accomplish before the start of yet another crazy school year.

House Stuff

• Paint the kitchen a yet undetermined color.
• Paint the maroon kitchen tile border to white or black..still haven't decided.
• Touch up kitchen baseboards.
• Find some GD place mats for the dining room table. (I feel like I have looked everywhere!)
• Order this fantastic bedding from West Elm for the bedroom.

• Curtains..I want  need curtains. Opening and closing a bajillion blinds everyday is beyond annoying. Plus they're hideous.
• Get a hamper for the laundry room.
• Buy a BBQ grill and make a fabulous grilled dinner.

School Stuff

• Attend 3 days worth of curriculum revision
• Supply shopping - markers, colored pencils, desk calendar, air freshener, post-its, and pens.
• Frame this for behind my desk. 

• Create some other classroom decor...Martha pom-poms and new door hanger.

Me Stuff

• A haircut is in order. I have been rocking the ponytail with bangs pushed back in a headband for 8 solid weeks now, I doubt that would be considered professional dress... unless I was the gym teacher.
• New clothes. I have missed going to the mall and buying clothes for myself since purchasing the house. I have saved a little cash to put towards some new back to school gear to coincide with birthday shopping.
• Lose 5-10lbs. Did I mention I haven't bought new clothes because I currently can't fit into anything I own without an elastic waistband? It might sound backward to not buy bigger clothing but I pretty much refuse.
• Turn 26.

Other

• Read The Help and New Moon
• Finish up my two Master's classes
• Move all my Cricut stuff from parent's house.

I better get busy!
