Weekend Challenge

It's no secret that I worship the sun (when it appears in our parts). But. I have this condition. If it is sunny outside, I must absolutely be out IN it from morning till dusk. And I want it to be incredible. Maybe my expectations for sunny days are set too high. I want to feel the same way my 5 year old self did: drinking from the hose, running through the sprinkler, scarfing down strawberry shortcake, searching for potato bugs, and falling asleep while it was still light out.

So, here's what happens: I wake up and do something productive like work out and get iced tea. But then, I begin to plan my day and find SO many things I want to do that I become ridiculously indecisive, then frustrated, and then anxious because these sunny, warm moments are slipping through my knuckles.

 I am challenging myself to NOT let this happen tomorrow or Sunday. I made it through today just fine....got in early to work, left at 2:30 pm, jogged, and then enjoyed Happy Hour on the patio with Sean at Arnies. And I believe this worked out so well because I made my plans last night.

 Enough blabbering. Here is what I want to do this weekend. And I will report back with my success or failure, and maybe even some pictures?
