#14: Find Uma Thurman’s old house I had heard a while ago that Uma Thurman is originally from right here in Amherst, Massachusetts. I remember hearing this and thinking about how cool it would be to see her old house. She’s always been one of my favorite actresses; Kill Bill Vol. 2 is my favorite movie […]
“Salamander Crossing” really stood out to me. It was right up my salamander alley.
#15: Go to the one of the restaurants in Massachusetts I need to go to before I die (http://www.onlyinyourstate.com/massachusetts/restaurants-die-ma/) Happy Summer everyone! I’ve been slacking a bit on my list this year. Usually at this point in the summer I’ve done a few things. School ended for me on Tuesday, yesterday was reserved for sleeping, so […]
Hi guys! Happy almost end of Spring. This will be my 8th year (whoa) (it could be the 9th year, I don’t know) doing my summer goal list! I’m a little late in creating it this year, usually it’s done by April. As usual, this is just a draft and I’ll be adding on as […]
#13: Have a skipping squad meet in downtown Northampton I run a very tiny (but fun!) skipping club in Western Massachusetts called the Pioneer Valley Skipping Club (formally called Samantha’s Skipping Squad). I started it in late March and was totally inspired by Michelle Joni‘s skipping club. I read an article on her adult preschool and decided right then […]
#14) Help Mel Willy get over her fear of farm animals Melissa, or as I lovingly call her, Mel Willy, revealed to me during springtime that she has a big fear of farm animals. I’m not sure why, and she won’t respond to my text asking her why so I’m assuming (and thinking she mentioned […]
#5) Get a tan in Costa Rica Hola, everyone! I’m sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while. As mentioned a few weeks (or a month! Eee!) ago, I went to Costa Rica with my school for a course. When I arrived back home, I had a lot of things to do and people to […]
#17: Karaoke with Bianca It’s not like I have never karaoked with Bianca before. Actually, we’ve sang several karaoke songs together. But, I had to add this favorite past time to my list for two major reasons: 1) Last summer, Bianca moved (I wrote about this last summer in the post where her and I […]
#8: Go to Salem For those readers who don’t know about the city of Salem, Massachusetts, I’ll give a quick overview. It’s on the northern east coast of the state in Essex County. It’s filled with tons of history; it’s perhaps best known for being the location of the 1692 witch trials in which 20 […]
#4: Bake something with Nora The first time I had a bite of Nora’s (remember her from the Museum of Bad Art post?) baking was way back to when I barely knew her. We were at a show and she had made sticky buns but all that was left was the tins. Having a few mutual friends, […]
