May To-Do List

After a brief hiatus in April, I'm back with another monthly To-Do list.  I've given up on the built-in idea in our basement.  While I think it would be awesome and I know we would love it, I wish we would have done it four years ago.  I am hopeful we won't be in our house for much longer (five years was our original goal and we are creeping up on that goal, but I know we will surpass it) and we already have a perfectly fine set-up as it is.  So, that item will NOT be making another appearance on this list.  And, this list is more fun and no so task-oriented:

1. Try out new recipes that involve items from our new herb garden (photos to come).  I'm seeing a lot of pesto, grilled herb-topped fish, and minty lemonades/mojitos in our future!
2. Find the perfect maxi-dress for multiple trips we/I have planned for the summer.
3. Continue to stick to the Weight Watchers plan (I've lost 10 pounds!!) and add in extra excercise.
4. Plan a little weekend trip for one of our less busy weekends this month - not sure where we could go, but definitely want to take advantage of our free time.
5. Attempt to find ways to spend more time on our patio.  I would love to have these chairs to sit in, but alas I have martini taste on a beer budget....

 So, what is on everyone else's to-do lists this month?
