it is already really hot here in central texas. this morning i sat out with my mom at her place (kinda like a retirement village, but with some younger people lightly sprinkled here and there) having a community garage sale. luckily we were in the shade as we listened to roger miller sing "king of the road" way to many times. at a quarter to 11 i told my mom that i was done (no one had come by in a while) and began to pack up, once again convinced that the effort put into a garage sale is not worth the profit or maybe my stuff sucks?
my personal goal for this summer is to try new things. i am really bad about not wandering out of my comfort zone, but i am ready to change all that. our town is pretty small and not very progressive. thank god austin is just down the road! i am already committed to hooping classes on saturday's in round rock. brennah, kamrynn and kassidy have graciously agreed to go with me. if they like it, there are enough of us to form a family hooping act. i will let you know if we decide to take it on the road.
there are other things that i would love to delve into, amature photography is one. i would love to be able to more beautfully document our family times. i am looking at several certification programs for natural/holistic health. in september i am going to train to become a birth doula. i would also LOVE to attend rethinking everything conference if we can come up with the bucks to fund a family of our size. i want to try vegan for a month (no cheese....will i survive?)
if i am going to impart a love of learning for a lifetime to my children, i need to model it.
