If you're anything like me, you start out at various points of the year feeling like you have all kinds of time to accomplish a set list of goals only to get toward the end of that time to discover that you haven't accomplished a quarter of what you set out to do.
Well, I can't say that was entirely the case this summer, but I sure feel like I've gotten to the end of my "free time" with only a few of the items that I hoped to accomplish checked-off.
I did get to celebrate the birth of my daughter, I did go visit Alaska, I got moved into a new home, and I did travel with my family to Southern California for a few days. That sounds like a lot when put in a list, but I feel like I had so much more I could have accomplished. I had a list of books that I wanted to read and haven't gotten to any of them (I actually secretly hoped I would read one of them and that would have made me happy ... didn't even accomplish that).
Maybe I just need deadlines in order to accomplish things. I seem to have this tendency to put things off until the last minute, but if I have a deadline, then I get them done. For example, if I take magazines on a trip with me and promise myself I won't bring them home, I do tend to read them before coming home. Maybe there's hope for me yet.
In other news, I've been obsessing about the whole Brett Favre situation these days. I'm not sure why I care so much ... yes, I'm a Packer fan, yes, I think Favre is a great quarterback but in the scope of the world does it really matter if he comes back to play? Apparently in my world it does matter. Its one of my guilty pleasures ... next to watching hockey!
O.k. one of my goals for this summer was to write a blog entry that actually mattered ... and I will do it yet, but maybe not before I start my internship ... still, I have a topic in my mind that I really want to write on and get some thoughts on the table.
Peace!
