Can this list be my list? You have the best ideas AND the best way of saying them.

I'd like to do most of those things too.

Replace "Hang with Mr. Cooper" and "spend time in a convertible", with "drive around in a Mini Cooper".

I'll take your basil limeade, and trade you for some rosemary lime ice cream.

Will probably have to skip the beach, but will sit under the stars and watch some Will Shakespeare.

This sounds great - I think I should print it off and hang it on my fridge as a daily reminder - and hopefully cross off all of them by summer's end.

Rope swinging. Yes.

So I am working on names. Any ideas?

El Summer Super Bién

or Superbién Summer seem about right. I want a taco.
