Eternal Sunshine of My Frazzled Mind

I always seems that the late spring/summer season brings with it jam-packed weekends. I always have great ambitions for my summers, 90% of which never seems to be able to materialize for one reason or another - mostly due to weddings and my inability to say "no" to people. This can be considered a list of stuff I want to do, but will find a way to schedule countless other things in place of my wishes. It's my version of sadomasochistic psychological torture.

Ambitions for Summer 2006:

• Go to the beach often. Often as in, say twice a month.
• Get a nice, but healthy tan. No sunburns. To accomplish, see previous.
• Go tubing atleast once.
• Save money to recover from recent financial crisis.
• Find a nearby pool to swim laps at and become a member.
• Swim as often as possible when previous is accomplished.
• Take a road trip to somewhere I haven't been before. What else did I buy a car for?
• Clean the house so it sparkles like never before. I want the fresh smell of lemon water to emanate from every crevice.
• Have one weekend this summer where I don't have ANYTHING planned in advance so I can bum around and be the introvert I always dreamed I could one day be.
• Learn how to stop flinching every time my cell phone rings, signalizing the fact that someone needs something from me.
