This broken foot hasn’t totally sidelined my pursuit of my list goals! (Plus it’s mostly mended by now). Though there is one that needs to be reworked: #1 - Do 12 run/walk races - goal is one a month.
I’ve added a few to my # 9 – Make 41 beautiful things (I guess I’m up to 8 now…I need to get a move on):
:: I bought this coloring book during my trip to Santa Fe in March
:: I think this counts as a Pinterest ‘win’…inspired by this photo and hung in my bedroom
And, finally, a makeover! Everyone loves a makeover…
As you can see, my bathroom medicine cabinet was in poor, poor shape. Nothing like a fresh coat of paint and a little contact paper to make you feel better about brushing your teeth!

Back in April I made the decision to give up my community garden plot. I just wasn’t getting excited about it and was already a bit behind in getting the beds reading for planting. Then I busted up my foot and that confirmed my decision. So while it would seem that #14 on my list (Grow a big luscious garden) would have to be forfeited – it doesn’t! I have gotten really into planting as much as I can on the little back railing outside my back door. There ain’t much space here, but there is enough for me
:: Peonies and Sweet Potato Vine
:: Creeping Thyme and something else pink and lovely
:: Something cute and purple and little baby lavender!
Since the epic heat has yet to arrive in Chicago I’ve been spending a lot of time out back reading books, sipping on lemonade and letting the chubby kitty explore the wild frontier (she hasn’t yet attempted to go down the stairs)
A few more items are in line to be crossed off the list in the next month. I’ll post a real update at the end of June! xoxo
