31 ~ things to do

a new year, a fresh start, a big ol' list of things to do ~ i don't like calling them resolutions, because lots of stuff on my list won't get accomplished this year or next - but it's always good to have a list :) i love marking things off of lists - even if the things i do are totally obvious and required on a daily basis - it makes me think that i'm actually getting stuff done, even when i'm not! first thing on my list is already accomplished - hence the new tag line for my blog - "a weekly journal of the things for which i'm most thankful" - ha ha. let's see if i can manage a weekly submission. sorry i've been gone for so long, but the last month has been a BLUR. i had a good time, but i'm glad the holidays have passed once again - heck, i've even got my decorations and my gifts for next year put away - crazy!!
the list:
  • eat more ice cream cones with the bub
  • live creatively - make art - love art - surround myself with color
  • paint my bathrooms and a wall in the living room (i'm thinking orange, blue + purple!)
  • start learning to play the guitar
  • knit a scarf
  • play more with the bub and clean house less (we'll see how that goes :)
  • take more roadtrips
  • swim in the ocean
  • exercise (yeah, right. but i say it every year. maybe this year . . . )
  • meet new friends + get to know my old friends better
  • pick something
  • bake cookies
  • snuggle my cat - and my husband - and my bub!
  • plant flowers
  • read many books
  • complain less, rejoice more
  • write thank you notes
  • listen to music
  • write

okay ~ that's a good start, i think! there is much to do, so i'd better start cracking. oh, and i forgot: quit spending so much time on facebook! ugh - it is soul-sucking and addictive - and i can't stop!! someone help me . . .
