Summer Time!

I'm a week late!!!  But happy SUMMER!!!  This is my favorite season of the year.  I think it goes back to when I was a youngin in school.  At that time I didn't know it but Summer was ME time!  Got to be outside, do a bunch of nothing, eat some paletas, cool off at the fire hydrant or with the hose on those hot days, hang out with some friends and my brothers when they let me.  I also remember the few but very awesome Summers I spent in Mexico. 


What's in store for Summer 2011?


Bike Riding 
Running
Walking
Beach
Farmer's Market (maybe Lincoln Park)
Lincoln Park Zoo
Moving in August (again)!  I'm actually very happy that I get to move in with two great friends. 
Studying (extremely difficult during the Summer <sigh>)
Continue my search for a new position
Win the Mega Millions or Powerball (or $2,500/week for life<---this is a scratch off)
And 
Baby Ramirez (aka Limoncito) will be born at the end of July (or the latest August)!  


Shout out to the Summer Birthdays (including me)!!! 


Below is a pic I took last Summer on one of my Sunrise bike rides on the Lake Shore Path.  I'm posting it as a reminder of how much I enjoyed my bike rides on the LSP.

This is a pic I took during my 1/2 marathon.  Yes, another pic to remind me to go out there and run!

Making a list (checking it twice)!!!

It's apparent that I need to have a list of the tasks I need to accomplish otherwise I will get sidetracked.  I will start tonight!

Example:
I logged into gmail to answer a specific email that I hadn't gotten around to.  What do I do?  Click on the reader tab to see if anyone had posted to their blog LOL I guess I enjoy reading my friend's blogs! 

Example:
As I was typing this...the Santa Claus song popped in my head, in specific Jackson 5 was singing it (b/c it says "making a list and checking it twice).  So of course I looked it up :0)




Checklist before bed:
  • reply to email
  • update part of my resume 
  • get clothes ready for tomorrow's casual work day
  • drink some water
  • read my FAR book or leisure book
  • get ready for bed 
Okay, I don't want to get carried away, that's enough before bed!

PIZZA!!!

Today I felt the need to show my love for pizza.  Mostly because I'm craving some delicious cheese pizza with some fries.  With the right combination of dough, lovely sauce and wonderful melting cheese, pizza is my perfect meal! My food goal for today is to go get some pizza with a side of fries :)
