today's a good day to stretch the muscles of the weary

a miracle's a miracle, even if it's ordinary.

THE OFFICIAL LIST OF GOALS FOR THE UPCOMING SUMMER
(now in detailed and realistic forms!)

1. THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL GOALS: use time wisely.
vague? a little. but seriously. no sitting around. unless it's with my beautiful friends and we happen to be picnicking. i need to make the most of my time. visit facebook only once a day. visit the computer as a whole only once a day. go to bed at a decent hour so there are no more naps! make sure i'm having adventures and checking things off this here list!
2. learn to drive stick. call aunt karen or uncle rich and get out there. that way, should the zombie apocalypse occur anytime soon, i will be able to drive any car available to me when attempting to make my escape.
3. set up my silkscreening set. this will first require me to create a design. i'm thinking either something with andrew jackson, benjamin franklin, or the 717. i think the 717 would be a good one. father k. dubs will be more than happy to help with the technical stuff. i just need to do it! yes yes yes!
4. revamp my etsy. read up on all the tips and tricks. then go to it! take better pictures, list more frequently, create fliers/business cards and distribute them to local businesses (checkered past, neato burrito, atomic warehouse, championship, etc.). talk that shit up! i really want it to be a source of extra income. that would be phenomenial.
5. (going along with the previous two goals) CRAFT MY BRAINS OUT!!!!! beginning of the summer- sundresses for me. later on- sundressed for esty. high-waisted skirts for me and etsy. jen's baby blanket. silk screened shirts ( i'm thinking i'll use thrifted shirts? that way it's cheaper and it's upcycling. . .) big floral tote bags and historical figure totes. smaller, strap-across-the-chest, bags with zippers and quilting/drunk embroidery.

6. make more videos with baby brother. notably the knitting rap. possibly the ben franklin womanizer remix.
7. write more often. i'm thinking two short stories a week, just to keep in practice. two scripts by the end of the summer.
8. go skinny dipping. night and day time. pool and lake/ocean.
9. learn to prepare meat. grilling chicken and burgers. cooking ( i don't even know if that's the word i want to use) beef, chicken, and steak. the normal way. the inside way. you know?
10. learn how to do basic handyman stuff. how to hang a shelf/picture. how to install lights/light switch.

that is all for now!
some of these may turn into long term goals.
i also want to learn how to do my taxes. but that can wait.
