SUMMER ESSENTIALS & MP3 PARTY.

KIDDIE POOL. This one, which was designed by Cynthia Rowley for Target, is so incredibly cute. I cannot find it on their website, but supposedly it is only $10! Get on that shit!

Things to do in kiddie pool:
- drink beer
- bubble bath between friends
- jello wrastle
- sit in a ridiculous inner tube
- read a book
- take a sunny nap/lay out an soak rays
- splash around

You know all of that sounds like fun. If things work out, I really wanna throw a Fourth of July shindig. The 4th is one of my favorite holidays, mostly because of what it entails. You got your barbeque, your fireworks, your lawn chairs, your neighbors/friends, your cases upon cases of cheap beer. Fun for everyone!



SKIP IT OR HULA HOOP. So necessary.



GO CAMPING. Man, I love camping. I'm not usually an outdoorsy person, but there is not much better than hanging with friends, boozin' it up, possibly swimmin', and just generally lettin' loose. I'm looking forward to hitting up Hannah Park and/or Huguenot. I have a goal of going camping 5x this summer, CAN I DO IT?

Things to bring to make a camping trip even more awesome than usual: an itunes boombox, a grill, some veggie dogs, smores supplies, bathing suits, lotsa pillows, water balloons, bug spray, people who will not to object to midnight games of truth or dare or flashlight hide and seek.

SUMMER TO DO LIST

I will have my first semester off this summer (WHEEW!) and I am excited to be able to do some ~me~ things.

I would love to get into yoga. For one thing, I feel like I'm not as flexible as I used to be and it really irks me! I also am just intrigued by the practice, and the meditation that comes along with it in most cases, and want to give it a go. Plus, how cool would it be to be able to get into eka pada rajakapotasana (seen above).

READ! I really want to read some books that are not required class reading! I'm thinking...

Some Nancy Scheper-Hughes. She is an amazing anthropologist. I've read some of her work on poor mothers in Brazil (from her book Death Without Weeping), and the way she writes and handles situations is pretty amazing and inspiring. Perhaps I will read Small Wars: The Cultural Politics of Childhood or Saints, Scholars, and Schizophrenics: Mental Illness in Rural Ireland.

House of Leaves by Mark D. Danielewski. I keep on hearing about this book, both good things and bad. It is supposedly written in a really different fashion, and apparently hard to read, even. But none the less, I'd like to read it and form my own opinion on it. I hope it is just as scary/creepy as people say it is.

SUGGEST ME SOME MORE, PLEASE!

I bought a deck of tarot cards almost a year ago. I haven't worked with them much, mostly because I am lazy and lacked the commitment to memorize and really get to know the meanings behind the cards. This summer I would like to change that. You can call me a kook all you want, but I am really curious and would love to learn to read spreads.


MAKE. ART. EVERY. DAY.
And stuff beyond dumb doodles (though I do adore them..)

I need to take advantage of living so freakin' close to the beach. I always forget that most people have to drive hours to get the ocean. And Huguenot Beach is just so nice. It's awesome to be able to drive on the beach, the giant rock there are super fun to climb on, and it's really scenic with the sand dunes and whatnot. Hopefully next time I go there will be no jellyfish all up in my swim space! D:
