Random Thursday: My Summer Plans

Well, my biggest summer “plan” already happened–my big birthday weekend with my mom, complete with plenty of shopping and other fun stuff. So hopefully I’ll have a post put together this weekend with plenty of pictures and stories for you guys about that.

As far as the rest of the summer goes, I’m afraid it isn’t terribly exciting. I want to do some hiking; we live in a gorgeous area and it’d be a shame not to get out and enjoy it. It’d be nice to spend the day at one of the state parks and stay after sunset to see the stars come out at night; you can’t see them in town because of all the light pollution.

I also hope to spend some time just lounging on a blanket in the grass in the shade, sipping something cool and reading. That’s the best way to spend a lazy summer day!

I need to do some more painting. I really had fun making the cherry blossom print that’s hanging above my bed and now I need to do some other pieces for the rest of the house.

Hopefully I will find a bit more time to work on my German. We kind of fizzled on that right away because spring was so busy, but I hope we can get back on track with that this month.

I also have some serious summer movie watching to do. I still haven’t seen Man of Steel, World War Z or The Great Gatsby. We did finally go to see Star Trek Into Darkness last night and it was awesome.
