10 Things to Do Before Summer Ends

from Britt

Whats on your list?

I hate to admit it, but summer is just about over and there are so many things still on my to-do list. I jotted down ten things that I still want to squeeze into my summer and guess what, they don't cost a thing.

1. Go to the beach or the lake... whatever is handy. Don't forget to slather on that sunblock.

2. Go on a picnic. chances are you haven't done this since you were a kid. Gather up a group of friends and have each bring something to contribute.

3. Visit your nearest park and do a little people watching. It's relaxing and you never know who you might spot. Famous people like parks too. ;)

4. If you don't have a dog, ask if you can borrow a neighbors' and take him for a walk. Both of you will benefit.

5. Try your hand at a game of tennis. Most schools offer free courts and then just have fun. Even my Mom comes occasionally and she can't play if her life depended on it. But, she's having fun and burning calories.

6. Check out the latest fall makeup colors for fall. Okay, this could cost you a little, but you don't have to buy a lot. Be sure to read thie article on this site entitled, "How to Buy Just What You Need."

7. Find your kitchen. Yes, you do have one and then try your hand at cooking something. Everyone should be able to cook one dinner.

8. You can't keep the same hours you did during the summer. Time to start going to bed at a reasonable hour. Personally, school starts way too early to suit me!

9. Clean off your desk. You will be using it soon.

10. Make a pitcher of something iced and then sit out and enjoy the stars while it is still warm enough.
