I had planned to do so many fun things this summer, but then classes got in the way and nothing has panned out like I had planned. I still want to visit at least 1 zoo, go to the Rock -n- Roll Hall of Fame, go to King's Island (because Jake and I got free tickets for my birthday), and a few other things, but it seems like we're running out of summer. Now that my classes are over, I'm going to push Jake more and hopefully we'll get to salvage at least a few of our plans, but we're pretty much working opposite schedules, and I don't know if he'll be able to take a weekend day off here and there (because that's pretty much all I've got available).
I know that we -have- to go to King's Island because our tickets expire at the end of the season, and I would hate to waste them. I just don't know if all of the other things are going to happen. I would like to say that they will, but I'd probably only be fooling myself.

One good thing about having summer classes and working and such is that I've been able to knock some books off of my reading list. I'm now on book 6 of the Anita Blake vampire hunter series. This is the last book that I actually own, but I have other books at home that are on my list (and 1 or 2 that aren't) that I can work on after I finish this one.
Will I be satisfied with being able to say that I read a shit-load of books this summer? I don't know. I would much rather be able to say that I read a shit-load of books and did a bunch of fun stuff, too, but that may not be the case. I guess I can feel accomplished with the reading, like my summer wasn't a complete waste...

In other news: I finally finished the toddler blanket for my little cousin (Grace). I wasn't able to give it to her when I saw her last because I didn't finish it until the day after she was at our house, but at least it's done, and she won't really even need it just yet anways. It's a little too warm for covering up with a crocheted blanket (because they're pretty thick, even tho they don't look like it). I need to start on the next toddler/child blanket for my cousin Genevieve, but I won't even see her until Christmas, so I've got some time.
Right now, I really want to bust out my little knitting kit and start working on learning how to do that, but I haven't really had the time lately, and it never occurs to me to grab it when I do have the time. That's another thing on the list of things I wanted to do this summer that might not get done. Maybe I'll pull that out today when I get home from work? It could be fun.
