Summer Wishlist

{"Uncle Sam" cocktail from our Jamaica vacation for my birthday last summer}

Here in D.C., we basically have two seasons: winter and summer. We don't get the good ones (fall is my favorite), so generally when you're in the thick of one of the two, all you can think about is the other one. This summer, however, I've decided to fully embrace the 100-degree heat and humidity and throw myself into a few things. If I haven't done everything on this list by Labor Day, I am officially a failure. You can judge me if that happens.

• Have a proper picnic with Kyle, complete with picnic basket and baguette.
• Go to at least one baseball game a month.
• Throw a BBQ with friends.
• Make these homemade ice cream drumsticks.
• Sign up for a photography class so I can finally tell my aperture from my shutter.
• Buy a fantastic high-waisted bikini.
• Read an entire guilty pleasure book in one weekend.
• Make a necklace holder that's equally functional and aesthetically pleasing, like this one.
• Call a friend I haven't spoken to in a while.
• Head out to Annapolis to eat crabs.

What do you think of my list? Is it self-involved enough?? Please say yes! 

So, what's on everyone else's summer "to do" list?
