A simple Summer List

My lovely lady Kelli is always making blog lists.

I really enjoy a blog list.

This is my Summer Blog List:

1. Hit the farmers market every Sunday and buy as much local as I can. (Market opens May 1st!)

2. Take at least one quick swim every day after work (Pool open May 31st)

3. Take Mr. Gaunt to a You-Pick Farm (see the list of farms here)

4. Hike Garden of The Gods and spend time in Manitou Springs.

5. Hit up as many weekend festivals as we can! Peoples Fair, Ren Fest, Beer Fest, and More!

6. Spend a weekend camping at Mt. Rushmore.

7. Visit Jake in Los Alamos New Mexico.

8. Take a writing class, golfing class, blogging class at ACC Community Classes.

9. Buy a bike and bike regularly with Mr. Gaunt.

10. Plant an entire window sill herb garden.

Outdoor Activity: 18 Holes!

Mr. Gaunt has taken up golfing this last year. He seems to really love it, he’d golf every day if he could. I’m just happy he has found a hobby that’s healthy!  He has been asking me to go with him for months now, and I keep passing, golf isn’t really my cup of tea. Especially not when it costs $25-$35 per person.

This past weekend though his golfing buddy got a coupon (rent a cart and golf for free)  so I agreed to go. I really wanted to drive Golf Cart! Usually Mr. Gaunt walks the course for the excercise, but a Golf Cart is fun on occasion.

I played the first 13 holes, but tired out after that. It was ok, but not my favorite thing to do. I’m still waiting for the pool to open! Here are some fun pics from our day though.

Grocery List and After School Activities

Ok we don’t really go to school, but oh my word have we been busy! Not with anything that important, just random activities: Therapy, Softball, Trivia Night, Taxes. I’m exhausted, and I have no desire to cook when I need to be in bed in an hour and a half. I’m glad we are staying busy, but night after night of stuff until 8pm is a bit much for me.

Whole Foods....heaven on earth for grocery shopping.

I did however make a yummy salmon dish to share soon, and in VERY exciting news I updated my grocery list! Woohoo! It’s the tab at the top of the screen that says MY GROCERY LIST. It use to be more based on Weight Watchers, but I re-did it to be more up to date on what we eat currently. It’s pretty Clean Eating, Wholesome, Vegetarian-ish. I have also stated adding links to a lot of it, its kind of freakishly long so I havent finished it yet. Feel free to check it out, and you can leave comments on that page if you think I have missed any excellent foods.

I’m hoping the Mr. Gaunt and I can get out and do some fun relaxing things this weekend. We have a BBQ on Friday night, which I will be cooking up some yummy treats for. We also have been invited to participate in Littleton’s Pea Patch Garden and grow some veggies and flowers to donate to the elderly. I think we might do that this weekend. Oh and I have decided to take a one day Women’s Self Defense Class on May 2nd with some friends, I’m really looking forward to it!

Oh so so so busy. Dinner will be something boring (if anything) tonight. Tomorrow though I will be cooking!
