Ahh, you thought I forgot, didn't you? Well, the truth is... I sort of did. And, I'm bummed about it. I had some fantastic mental lists going on, but I was never able to have them materialize. So, here we go for May... (I'm sure you can imagine what will dominate this month's list!)

1. Graduation.

Two years in a Master's Program - Complete! Yesss! I'm oh-so thrilled to have my Mom in town on Wednesday night to help me celebrate.

2. Summer Movies! 

Alix and I just saw IronMan. (Anybody else super smitten over Robert Downey Junior??) Annnnd, Sex and the City 2 is coming out next week! Psyched! 

3. Trips to the Beach! 

Alix and I are scouting out Jones Beach and all the which ways we can get ourselves there. 

4. Packing away  

coats and scarves

5. Pulling out shorts and flip flops! 

Alix and I have every intention of camping out on the roof of our building for some much needed Vitamin D. Winter lasted faaaar too long this year. And now, it's like summer outside. Somebody get Al Roker on the phone.

6. Patio Eating, Patio Sitting, Walking-by Patios

Anything to do with me being near a patio actually qualifies for the number six spot. And if there are some Johnny Appleseed buckets filled with summer blooms included, even better!

7. Leisure Reading

Oh. My. Goodness. I've got THREE, count 'em, THREE books on my Leisure Reading list for the rest of the month (and part of June) and I couldn't be MORE psyched about it. 

8. Having a normal-ish schedule

I'll be honest, I spread myself a bit thin this semester. I'm pretty excited to go to work, go to research, then do a little bit of playing. I haven't had much time for play recently.

9. Hearing Baby Kate say, "I love you." 

Baby Kate is officially a chatter box. She's got "I love you" down pat. My dear Sister has gotten into the habit of calling me on the weekend mornings so sweet Baby Kate can gurgle "I love you" in the phone. Ahh, my heart tinkers, I miss her so!

10. Salsa on 2???

I'm all about trying new classes. You've heard me obsess over Zumba. Now I'm obsessing over Salsa. I'm enrolling in a class or two next month. It *might* get interesting...
