Spring bucket list recap

 I got a lot done on the bucket list for spring!  The rainy days delayed some of these, but whatever didn't get done will be added to the summer list!
I learned how to make chilequiles

Spring Bucket List: 
file my taxes
treat crepe myrtle
paint hall ceiling and attic opening
look into swim lessons
clean and reposition landscape lights
order a swimsuit
go admire some bluebonnets - we had a pitiful showing this year - too much rain?
spiff up the front door area
clean the A/C coils
touch up outside paint
clean the gutters
plan a summer trip Port Aransas in June
finish the photo album project - slowly but surely
watch the bats emerge at sunset at the Congress St. bridge
get the mower maintenance done
mulch landscape beds
powerwash the back patio and front steps
take a calligraphy class
go to the symphony
visit Barton Springs - probably won't 
begin researching: carpeting for house, toaster oven, tub insert for guest bath, fridge, new mattress
see a friend for coffee/beer at least twice
meet with a book club at least twice
try a new thing - Qigong meditation, calligraphy
cook a new dish for myself  Chilequiles!
take one Saturday off and visit a farmer's market or similar
see each of my peeps for a lunch
start getting semi-regular pedicures
meet with therapist twice, minimum
catch some live music

Not bad, and I had a lot on my daily lists.  I am famous for starting projects before previous projects are complete.  I am already putting together my plans for the summer!

What the week holds and wall art

It sounds silly to say, but I ran out of ooomph with the corner gallery project.  For one thing, I need more art to fill in the spaces, but I want to curate it slowly.  I stopped into Hob Lob on Friday and found this 16x20 canvas art piece for $12 and thought it would pass the vibe check.  But I have other things I need to be working on, so after hanging it, I am moving on.  For now.
This week I am:

*working the evening shift on Monday
*on call two evenings
*going to make more headway on that photo project
*going to shop for a rug for the front room
*scheduled for a Wednesday appointment
*as well as a Thursday appointment
*walking at least 4 of the mornings
*going to Bertram on Friday for a pedicure and winery visit
*working my normal weekend hours

I also have a new book to read, a bit of yardwork to do, and a plan to make some breakfast tacos for the freezer.  Hooray for June!
What does your week look like?
