Summer To-Do List

So, every summer I make a list of goals/things I want to do over the summer and even though I'm not done with all my finals yet (2 down, 2 to go!) I decided to make the list now.

In no specific order...

1. Take cake decorating classes
2. Keep up with going running
3. Take the philosophy course online
4. Go to Busch Gardens a bunch (We got season passes, I wanna use them!)
5. Spend tons of time with the hubby
6. Get a summer job...
7. Go on a couple day/weekend trips to DC
8. Eat LOTS of gelato!
9. Go on a mini vacation (or 2 hehe)
10. Go somewhere nice for our anniversary
11. Go on a picnic
12. Figure out what I want to do with my life, and how to do it
13. Go swimming
14. Take Sam to the lake
15. Go to the Holocaust Museum again
16. Get a mani/pedi or 2 hehe
17. Get a much needed massage
18. Get a new couch
19. Watch all of my favorite movies
20. Do something fun for my birthday

At the end of the summer I'll try to remember to send out an update of how many of these things I actually got done, lol.

Home Stretch

Its finally the home stretch with classes. Next week is finals week, which I am very much not excited for at all, but Im excited for summer. Still looking for a summer job, but not having much luck. Any suggestions? Im going to take a cake decorating course, which is great. I Loved decorating cakes when I worked at Cold Stone, so this should (hopefully) be fun!

The puppy has a new hobby: taking her giant raw hides (the ones that are 3 feet long), chewing them in half, and rolling each half down the stairs, which then hits the hall door. After sending them both down, she runs down full speed and brings them both back up. Repeat. She's a crazy one.

Rosetta Stone went public last week, which was exciting for Peter. He was given some pretty sweet company stock, which is really nice. It's had a really great response! He's waiting to see what stock options Rosetta Stone is going to offer employees, and will most likely buy some more stock. He's pretty happy with that.

That's about all that's been going on lately. Pretty boring, I know.

Through the Eyes of Kids

A friend emailed this to me and I though it was really cute! Ive seen these types of things before and theyre so much fun to read!

HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHO TO MARRY? (written by kids)
You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like it that you like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
-- Alan, age 10

No person really decides before they grow up who they're going to marry. God decides it all way before, and you get to find out later who you're stuck with...
-- Kristen, age 10

WHAT IS THE RIGHT AGE TO GET MARRIED?
Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then.
-- Camille, age 10

HOW CAN A STRANGER TELL IF TWO PEOPLE ARE MARRIED?
You might have to guess, based on whether they seem to be yelling at the same kids.
-- Derrick, age 8

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR MOM AND DAD HAVE IN COMMON?
Both don't want any more kids.
-- Lori, age 8

WHAT DO MOST PEOPLE DO ON A DATE?
Dates are for having fun, and people should use them to get to know each other. Even boys have something to say if you listen long enough...
-- Lynnette, age 8 (isn't she a treasure?)

On the first date, they just tell each other lies and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date.
-- Martin, age 10 (isn't he ready for the world of dating?)

WHAT WOULD YOU DO ON A FIRST DATE THAT WAS TURNING SOUR?
I'd run home and play dead. The next day I would call all the newspapers and make sure they wrote about me in all the dead columns.
-- Craig, age 9

WHEN IS IT OKAY TO KISS SOMEONE?
When they're rich.
-- Pam, age 7

The law says you have to be eighteen, so I wouldn't want to mess with that.
-- Curt, age 7

The rule goes like this: If you kiss someone, then you should marry them and have kids with them... It's the right thing to do..
-- Howard, age 8

IS IT BETTER TO BE SINGLE OR MARRIED?
It's better for girls to be single but not for boys. Boys need someone to clean up after them.
-- Anita, age 9 (bless you child)

HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE DIFFERENT IF PEOPLE DIDN'T GET MARRIED?
There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?
-- Kelvin, age 8 (I like this kid)

And the #1 Favorite is ....

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A MARRIAGE WORK?
Tell your wife that she looks pretty, even if she looks like a truck.
-- Ricky, age 10 (He'll be married forever)
