As I promised, here is the list of my Spring Break to-do’s that I wrote up the week before my break started, along with notes on how I either accomplished them, or didn’t.
1. Bake cupcakes & make lemonade
-The very first day of break I made lemonade and talked about it here. Cupcakes, unfortunately were never made.
2. Finish The Time Traveler’s Wife
-I finished the book during the last weekend of break and all I can say is that I loved the book very, very much. I thoroughly enjoyed the diary type entries, and how everything went back and forth. At first it was a little hard to follow, but as the book went on it got much easier. I seriously never wanted to put it down. I would highly suggest this book and can’t wait to finally watch the film adaptation of it.
3.Go on at least one hike
-I definitely accomplished this goal, in fact I went on two hikes, one on Camelback Mountain (which I blogged about here) and also one on South Mountain.
4. Take spring themed photos
-Unfortunately, I didn’t entirely accomplish this goal. I was wanting to set up a backdrop and pretty things to be involved in the photos, but alas I didn’t end up having time to do this. However, I did take quite a few photos over break.
5. Go to H&M, Anthro., and Urban
-I for sure went to Anthro. and bought this cute cup, but I ended up deciding that I didn’t need to go to H&M or Urban (trying to save money for other fun things during the week). As of now though I have a huge urge to go to H&M and hope to go sometime this week.
6. Go on a bike ride
-I went on the best bike ride during break with Scott and our friend Amanda. You can read about it here.
7. Make March mini book
-I for sure started this book, but have yet to complete it. Hopefully this weekend I’ll have some time to work on it.
8. See Alice in Wonderland
-After writing this I ended up deciding that I didn’t want to see this movie (mixed feelings/wanting to see something else instead. I did however see Remember Me and Shutter Island, both of which I loved.
9. Go to La Grande Orange Grocery
-Yes, I did it! I finally went to La Grande Orange and LOVED it! In fact, I went twice. You can see what I did there here, and here.
10. Go to Green
-Oh man, this is the one place I slightly regret not going to. Although, I did eat at a few great cafes during break including La Grande, The Coffee Shop, and Hillside Spot Cafe.
Overall break was really wonderful and I had a lot of fun. Now it’s time to put my nose back to the grind and finish this semester up. I just know I can do this!
