The Summer of Me!


George Costanza Picture
                                                           George Costanza



Recently, my friend and I were talking about how we wanted to have fun this summer.  We both agreed that we couldn't wait for fun to come to us, but instead we had to create our own!  It reminded me of one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes.   For those Seinfeld fans out there, do you remember when George Costanza announces that "it's going to  be the summer of George"?  Well, I've decided that it's "The Summer of Me"!

Truthfully, my mom and oldest daughter have left for France, and I miss them terribly.  However, I came to the conclusion that the lazy days of summer are just too short,  and I couldn't waste time moping.  So I started to make a list of some of the fun things I want to do during "The Summer of Me"...
  • sew a fashionable summer wardrobe
  • get organized
  • try new recipes and cook with the kids
  • exercise everyday
  • go to the movies
  • blog and journal frequently
  • celebrate my 20th wedding anniversary in New York!
  • read some great books
  • and much, much more!!
"The Summer of Me" might sound a bit self centered, since I also have a husband and three children that probably should be considered!  As I've gotten older, I realize that life is very short, and we need to take advantage of every minute!  For me, summer has always been a time to relax and have fun without any schedule restrictions whatsover! So, I hope that I've inspired you to think of your summer as "The Summer of You"!

    Your list sounds fun. I may have to post my own "Summer of ME" list. If I don't, the summer will slip away so quickly.
    Will the "girls" be in contact with you? keep us posted. hopefully, your mom will take a bunch of pics that can be posted on her blog when she returns.

    Great list...I always have great intentions with my summer. You will be much more successful than I am!

    We are leaving on our NYC vacation on Wednesday. Yours sounds much better with just you and your husband. We will pave the way for you!

    Have a great time tackling that list!

    If you don't take care of yourself then there will be nothing left to give to anyone else. No guilt needed. Think of it as recharging.

    LOL When I first saw the title of your post, even before I saw the picture of George, that episode was the first thing that popped into my mind. Well, I, too, proclaim this the Summer of Heather! Have fun!!! And later, we'll have a Festivus for the rest of us. LOL

    First of all I want to tell you that I am a HUGE Seinfeld fan so I started out laughing as soon as I started reading! Second, no wonder you thought my curtain post was funny - you SEW your own wardrobe! Now I really feel pathetic with my "fold over and clip" curtain fix! Now I feel like George Constanza...LOL! But seriously, I do love your list and hope that you can enjoy some time for YOU! We all need to take better care of ourselves!
