So, one of the perks of my job is that I don't have to do it for 3 months and I still get a paycheck. Sick, right? Anyway, I have been spending most of the past few weeks visualizing what my first summer of momhood would look like, and I have a very clear picture of what hip summertime Angie will do. Here's my list:
1. Start a blog (hey, done! Go me.)
2. Spend quality time everyday with my son, focusing on his spiritual and intellectual development. [And shop for cute baby clothes online.]
3. Zip around neighborhood with adorable baby in stroller; lose all the baby weight.
4. Become a regular patron of the Farmer's Market and develop relationships with the vendors there, so I can drop references to "my produce lady" or "my cheese man" in casual conversation. And buy yummy, fresh food.
5. Prepare that yummy fresh food into healthful meals for my family. [Here is where my visualization gets a little fuzzy, since my husband would not eat a vegetable on a bet. But I'm sure once he's confronted with the yummy freshness of Farmer's Market produce, he'll give in, right?]
6. Host various cookouts, game nights and one killer bridal shower that provide friends and family with warm memories of our times together.
7. Spend time cultivating all my flowers in the landscaping beds. Maybe plant more along the side of the house. Maybe. Possibly.
8. Start researching business plans for awesome organic baby food small business I will launch soon.
9. Get a tan.
We'll see how this goes.
