Inspire Me: Do It Right

It's hard to believe that this is the last week of summer! This summer has passed too quickly- so quickly, that I feel like I haven't done anything this year. Which isn't true because I've had a very busy summer...lots of different experiences and opportunities, lots of time with family and friends, lots of favourite summer activities. 

As we head into the last week of summer, here's some inspiration to help you through the week:

Sunday Social- Childhood

Second to last weekend of the summer and it was a good one. I worked until 12:30 before heading out of town for the weekend...I had a nice visit with a former work contact, visit with my summer friend, checking out a friends new business (that opened this week!), dinner and Batman cartoons with my summer friend. Saturday, I went to my friends new business as a customer, had lunch with my uncle and spent the rest of the day outside reading. Today, I'm having brunch with a friend and will likely head to the beach. It was a great weekend!


Sunday Social
 
1. What do you miss most about being a kid?
Not having any responsibilities! 


2. Did you have a nickname growing up? What was it? 
My dad used to call me 'Bean'. Friends would call me 'Meliss' or 'Miss'. I think that was about it...

3. What was your favorite thing to do at recess?
 

Play on the castle!  


4. What did you want to be when you grew up? 
A lawyer. 

5. Did you participate in any school activities? 
Not in elementary school...but there wasn't really an opportunity too- grade 6-8 we had soccer/volleyball/basketball/baseball, track and field was 5-8 (I think) and the grade 8's always did the yearbook. I didn't play any sports, but in grade 8 I was editor of the yearbook. I did a lot of stuff outside of school- dance, piano, softball, soccer, tennis, swimming, Brownies...that's all I can remember. I was super involved in high school (I did at least 12 co-curricular activities).   


6. What is the funniest thing you did as a kid that your parents still remind you about? 
I have no idea what the funniest thing was and my parents don't really talk about anything funny I did... I was creative kid and my dad says that he thought I'd be the next Picasso...I guess my artwork resembled his...?

Weekly What?

Idea taken from my darling friend Jenn from Party of One for Weekly What?

Basically, you put all of your Monday-Friday posts in one post on Saturday! What a great idea! I love the concept of having all of your posts from the week in one post- it's a great summary of the week on a blog.


MONDAY: I started the week off with some inspiration.

TUESDAY: I linked up with Amber for Hey! It's Ok.

WEDNESDAY: I posted Alex's views about Ontario.

THURSDAY: I shared a recent book I read.

FRIDAY: I finished the week with one of my favourite things- Luke Bryan.

Favourite Thing- Crash My Party

Happy Friday! I can't believe that this is the second to last Friday of the summer! Summer has gone too quickly for my liking. I was telling a friend the other day that I felt like I haven't done anything this summer, but if I think about it (or look at my calendar), I know that's not true...I've done a ton of things! I'm heading to the beach this weekend and hope to see my summer friend. 

This weeks favourite thing:
 
I may have mentioned once or twice, my love for Luke Bryan. His new album, Crash My Party, came out earlier this month and I have had it on constant repeat. My love affair with Luke continues...he didn't disappoint on this album!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
