unacceptable

today i opened up my Outlook calendar, and there on the screen, glaring at me from my THIS MONTH view, was labor day. already on the horizon.

i couldn't help but think how quickly the summer is passing by. passing me by, i should say...

Things I Wanted To Do This Summer:

• go to the beach (and sit in the shade)
• take a road trip to a destination farther away than central pennsylvania
• read lots of books
• keep "summer hours" at work
• enjoy at least 1 happy hour a week (happy hour, singular, is misleading)
• book a may-jah vacation for the fall
• lose 50 pounds
• buy a nice blue suit
  

Things I've Done:

• not left the city. like, at all
• read some books, but only 1 that i loved
• spent way too much time at work
• had a couple happy hours, but not nearly enough
• watched weeks and months fly by
• unsuccessfully tried to get friends to commit to a may-jah vacation
• lost 5 pounds
• gained 3 pounds back
• bought a cute pair of blue pinstripe pants. now i have 3. ugh
  

i really need to re-prioritize, even if just for the final month of summer.
