Fall is a special time of year for my boyfriend and I…we got married on October 6th, our fall life revolves around the NFL and college schedules and the fact that people actually give away free candy just for dressing up really gets my heart afluttery. full-sized-snickers-are-they-mad?!??!
So it comes as no surprise that I am looking forward to experiencing all that autumn has to offer. In anticipation of the upcoming season, I decided to resurrect the goal list – but with a little tweaking. This goal list is not for a specific month. It contains no projects that would benefit me in the long run. No renovations. No diet restrictions or workout minimums. And especially nothing that would cause me stress for the next four weeks of life.
This hot tamale of a list is just for fun. That’s right. I said it. My goals are purely pleasurable. I must be wacko. I must be insane. Insane in the membrane. Insane in the brain! (name that band!)
I decided that this time, I would make a list that I actually looked forward to crossing stuff off…and wish that I could experience all over again. Eat that, all you life-improving totally-productive gurus with your organic peas and carrots. So here it is:
MY AWESOME AUTUMN GOAL LIST
1. Visit an apple orchard
2. Go on a hayride
3. Eat apple pie
4. Carve a pumpkin
5. Make something outta leaves
6. Eat pumpkin pie
7. Drink apple cider
8. Go on a nature hike
9. Collect acorns
10. Throw the football
11. Roast smores over a bonfire
12. Go camping
There it is. Simple minded I might be….but this little simpleton is gonna have one heck of a fun time trying to check through each one of my dozen goals. Is there anything I forgot? Anything I should add? Anything that I absolutely must do because it is so fallfilling (heehee!)? Do tell.
Oh…and just because I fell off the crazy tree today, let’s throw in there that I can NOT double up goals. One goal per day. I know. It’s just plumb crazy. wacko. insane. off the front porch rocker. But then…remember that I am the same girl that thought modeling in a straw hat, cowboy boots and mini-skirt would be a good idea. And that ended up looking like a two-bit advertisement for an off-brand beer. make that a light off-brand beer. yeehaw.
