Summer Bucket List 2013 - Part 1

In my infinite journeys I have, for some time, neglected writing here :(.  No more, I say.  I am making it a point to get back to blog writing and refocus myself on... well, myself.  

In that spirit, I am going to "enroll" myself and my current boyfriend in the Summer Bucket List Challenge.  I think it will be fun and I think I can keep myself "busy" with all of the in's and out's of doing this on a budget.  Anyone who has read this blog in the past knows that I am a math-minded individual and thus often focus on my own budget.  (Update: since last postings I have paid off my car and am only a few months away from potentially paying off 2, yes 2, credit cards!  Yay!) 



SO, what is the Summer Bucket List Challenge you may ask?  It is a way to make your summer the "best summer ever".  I have to admit, I like the idea of a structure or routine and still having a bit of randomness hidden in there.  Some of the ideas are a bit crafty, which may not be up my boyfriends alley, but I am a very crafty person and I like the idea of taking some of the items on others' lists and making them my own.  I also like the idea of making things so that they help me out in my own classroom next year :) (let's kill 2 birds with 1 stone why don't we?).  

I did find a post on how to make your own Summer Bucket List which I found very interesting.  I've been using that list as a springboard for making my own list.  I do like categorizing different list-items by time because I will be teaching during part of the summer so for 4 weeks I will have a limited amount of time to spend on this and that - as fun as they may be.  

SO, in my next post I will be revealing what I have found to put on my Summer Bucket List.  Are you up for the challenge?  Will you join me in making this summer the best summer ever?  

Oh and did I mention they do some giveaways too?  Make sure to sign-up (it seems like you have to sign-up every week) for their giveaways.  Also, some of the products that are giveaways also have special deals.  I'm kind of psyched about the first giveaway as a potential Valentine's day gift for next year (and I'd get some shopping done in the mean-time!).  Total time-saver, don't you think?  Yay for summer!
