My Summer Challenge

Hola my lovely Sinners,

Now once again I have to ask for your forgiveness as I have sinned, and not in the good way. I have neglected my promise to update this blog since it has been literally months since my last post. Don't worry I have already given myself a good 50 Shades of Grey style flogging and am working on my penance - no wine for me tonight. 

But as you can tell from the glorious weather and green life outside that Summer is in full swing. In case, for some unknown reason, you didn't know Summer is my favorite season. Perhaps it is the cooler drinks, the shorter clothes, the darker skin, or the sticky feeling you get when you lather too much sun screen on, but something about Summer just makes me happy. There is just something magical and magnificent about Summer. Something about the longer days that makes it seem that anything is possible. You can go to the beach, each and all get away, rollerblade with your besties till your feet get gross callouses, pig out at the Pizza Hut buffet then drive all the way to Ikea for some meatballs and design your perfect home. Or even have the perfect romantic-comedy-inspired Summer romance with a hot lifeguard or barista. My point is that anything is possible during the two month break (or four months for you college kids) before life school begins and life starts getting annoying again. Plus if you think about it you only have a certain number of Summer vacations left before you get a full time job and you can no longer sleep in to 1 pm or stay up all night watching reruns of The O.C. 

So as cliched as it sounds I always make a Summer Checklist, as a way to make the most of the Summer. Just a list of random things I wish to accomplish before the Summer is up. But this year I decided to forget the list. Why waste my time writing a bunch of things down that I'd most likely never accomplish. Instead I opted for a much more focused goal; something that is still tricky but also achievable. So here it is my Summer 2013 Challenge: 

The Challenge: 
I want to either go on five dates or kiss five boys. Now before you go on calling me a slutbag let me explain. Since I am the byproduct of too much Disney Fairy tales and Nicholas Sparks books I am a complete hopeless romantic. And as much as I'd hate to admit it  I've always wanted a summer romance, think Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth in The Last Song (minus the whole cancer thing- spoiler alert). And  since I'm such a virgin prude I think it be suitable to finally get out there and make the most of my youth and beauty, I mean it won't be long till I will be sticking needles in my face and I need to find my rich Jewish hottie to pay for said botox treatments. 

The Rules: 
Like any good challenge there are conditions. First off it is either five dates OR kiss five guys. That's to make it a little easier, if you knew my shy, timid self you'd understand. A date can be anything from coffee to dinner and a movie, basically meeting up with a guy with some romantic intentions. Yes, the dates do not necessarily have to be with different guys. If perhaps I meet a guy I really like and we end up dating (fingers crossed) then it still counts. The same goes for the kisses; I can kiss the same guy twice and still have it count to the challenge. The whole point of the challenge is to get me out of my comfort zone and allow me to open up and meet new people. 

There it is my Summer challenge, and now that Summer is halfway done I better get cracking to find my Summer fling. As a way to keep me motivated and update this blog I will be posting progress reports from all my hopefully scandalous encounters. 

I want to hear from you, what are you Summer goals or challenges? what do you hope to achieve this Summer?

Sinfully yours,
XXX
