Adding to the List.

So I have a few additions to the list for the summer that came up while I've been in Dothan. (This is what happens when you have to come up with things to fill up your day.)

My mother and I have been wanting to learn to sew or smock or something of that nature and decided to enroll in a smocking class (don't judge) so we will be able to make sweet baby gifts like her other friends do. Y'all, it is HARD. I have enjoyed it though! I've also ordered an embroidery kit so we'll see how that works out. I've come a long way from not knowing how to sew a button onto a shirt THREE weeks ago (again, don't judge.)

Another thing I have been thinking about is how much I like tennis. I've been playing tennis with my dad and realized that although I like tennis, I'm not very good at it. My serve is probably the worst of all time. I aim for the box and it actually lands on the other court's box when I hit. Progress, slowly but surely.

Lastly, I've talked to a few of my close friends who live in the same apartment complex that I do and we have all had a desire to hone our cooking skills. The problem? Cooking for one is not very satisfying OR cost effective. The solution? We're going to cook for each other one night a week and split the cost of the grocery bill. BRILLIANT!

In a nutshell, my added goals for the summer:

11. Smock a (baby's) gown and finish embroidering my tea towel.
12. Learn to effectively serve while playing tennis.
13. Cook a healthy meal for my friends and me once a week.

Am I overachieving here with this list? Maybe. We'll see what happens.
