1. Have a baby.
Eliza Kristi, born July 4th
[God bless America!]
2. Family walks to go get ice cream.
twice or three times already!
3. Go to the park, pack a picnic.
4. Make new friends in the new town. Making friends in adult life is...not like college.
To be honest, I'm kind of hoping for a magical "in" somewhere.
Not doing so well on this one.
5. Attend at least 1 true barbecue. (Grill, burgers, beers.) A beer-b-q?
Why is no one I know having one of these?
6. Keep my brain "on" by posting a few times a week.
Well, a month and a week after baby girl was born, I'm making an appearance. So that's something.
7. Achieve my goal of a frame wall. And plate wall.
I just wrote those down on a to do list, so I feel like I'm really moving forward. Ha.
8. Read some new novels. First on the list is Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie. So good so far.
Still reading! Also intermittently reading books about babies!
9. Go somewhere with live music. Baby optional.
There is a du-wop concert in the park next Thursday- maybe I'll magically make new friends there and kill two birds with one stone?!?!
10. Continue my love affair with the farmer's market.
No brainer.
11. Read Scripture to baby girl.
Almost everyday! So far so good.
So basically, I need to get over my fear of driving by myself with the baby in the car.
That would make several of these items more plausible.
Not sure when my terror checking every minute to see if she's breathing anxiety will subside, but lets hope for sooner rather than later, I guess.
six out of eleven done by august tenth! not bad, mrs.ralph.
