My Summer To-Do List

Now that summer is here, I want to relax and enjoy my break from work, but I also want to get a lot accomplished.  I need to take advantage of the next 10 weeks as much as possible, so I decided to make a list of things I need to get done, as well as some fun goals.

My to-do list isn't too exciting for any of you I'm sure, but this is my way of holding myself accountable.  I don't want to let the next few months pass me by without having something to show for it!

House:
-Print and frame wedding and engagement photos (this has only been on my to-do list for 18+ mos.)
-Try 1 new recipe a week
-Organize all of the recipes I've been clipping and saving in a recipe binder
-Re-organize all of our files/paperwork, and go paperless on any accounts that I haven't yet
-Back-up all of the pictures and music on our computer
-Clean out and reorganize my closet and CAhusband's closet
-Deep clean the house every Friday

Hobbies:
-Read 15 books
-Re-watch all of the Harry Potter movies, and see Deathly Hollows Part 2 in the theater
-Watch Friday Night Lights on Netflix (Rachel has been raving about FNL for awhile, and I've never watched it.  I'm hoping it will be my TV project for the summer)
-Complete this pinboard/map idea I've had in my head forever
-Complete and send the invitations for my sister's wedding
-Blog 4 times a week
-Exercise 4-5 times a week.

School:
Once we get back from our 4th of July trip, I want to get my classroom completely organized.  Then I only want to allow myself to go in 1 full-day a week to work on other projects until the 2 weeks before school starts.  At that point I know I'll have to put in a little (or a lot) more work.
-Re-organize/plan my first 2 reading units
-Re-organize/plan my first 2 science units
-Create new plan for writing


Well there you have it!  If I stick to this list I should be able to keep quite busy between now and the end of August.  Do you have any big goals for your summer?
