Four Things on my May To-Do List

It's gonna be May! Well, actually it is already May and the Justin Timberlake meme is not that apt anymore. Since May is my Taurean season I feel a little bit more alive and upbeat again than the last few weeks and wanted to come back to my blog with a May to-do list.


Plan my Birthday

This year I'm sharing my birthday with Meghans and Harrys royal wedding day and will probably spend the first part of the day waiting for Meghan to step out of that carriage and reveal her dress but after that I would like to spend some time with my family and friends since it's a saturday and the perfect opportunity to organize a little get-together. I really like the idea of a garden party but the last twenty-three years have shown that it always rains on my birthday so we'll see how this will pan out.

Pick up reading again

Those of you who read my new years resolutions will know that I wanted to read at least one book a month and it's going....well...not that good. I'm hoping that I can catch up on my reading in the spring and summer when I spend more time bathing in the sun. I'm also suffering from a huge case of "not finishing books that I don't find all that thrilling". I have a book sitting on my night stand that I started months ago and while I already read and finished other books (to be more precise The F Word by Lily Pebbles, which I really enjoyed) I can't bring myself to finish it because it isn't really all that exciting. Is life to short to read books that you don't enjoy or should I show a little bit more persistence with my reading?

Try out some new skincare

I feel like I'm in a little bit of a rut with my skin care. Of course it's nice to have a routine that works for you but it gets a bit boring after a while and I'd really like to try out some new bits and pieces. My wallet is rejoicing already.

Spend time with all the dogs

Now that my sweet boy has been gone for over a month I really feel the hole of not owning a dog more than ever. Everytime I spend some time with other dogs I cry when parting ways with them because I miss having a canine presence in my life that much. So I will make spending time with dogs a priority to help me cope a bit better. I'm also considering taking dogs from a shelter on walks but I don't know how I would cope with having to see them get put back in their crates and leaving so for now I think the dogs of friends are the ones that have to provide me with my dog endorphin fix and fortunately I have amazing friends that let me cuddle their dogs for hours.

What is on your monthly to-do list?
