Summer Plans.

I have lofty goals for the summer.  I'm a dreamer/realist.  I have these amazing plans, I talk about them all the time, I swear up and down and around town that I'm going to accomplish them. 

But I know I won't.  However, I will enlighten you.

1)  Learn the Hoedown Throwdown from Hannah Montana Movie.  And the Thriller dance.

2)  Get Gus Van Sant to notice Katie and I on Youtube and cast us in his next movie.

3)  Lose 10 lbs.

4)  Make a comedy web series.

5) Shoot Season 2 of The Glass Office with my new camera.

6)  Be a professional celebrity.


My mom never, ever told me that I could do whatever I wanted to do in life -- probably because she heard me say things like the above.  She told me that I could TRY whatever I wanted to.  There is a big difference there. If my daughter wakes up and says to me, "Mommy, I want to be an astronaut."  I would say, "That is a lot of physics, math, and science classes.  Are you up for it?  You can try it if you want to."  Yes, I would say this to a 5 year old.
