in no particular order and because I’m a compulsive list-maker, some things I’d like to accomplish in the next year:
complete a half-marathon(training began 5.14.2011 for the Rock ‘N’ Roll Savannah Half…here goes nothing!) (11.5.11: 2 hrs, 43 mins, $1,850+ raised, and the greatest accomplishment in 24 years.)bake a pie from scratch(11.23.2011. Pumpkin and apple. Though Beth gets more credit for the apple)go see a movie solo(5.15.2011 - Atlanta Ballet; 6.12.2011 - Mumford & Sons at The Fox) [these totally count]- save a substantial amount of cash for a rainy day (aka quit spending my savings)
- attend an Atlanta Hawks game (the only Atlanta sports team I have yet to see [RIP Thrashers])
pay the 400 toll for the person behind me(6.27.11 & was feeling particularly nice after a client meeting)- train for a triathlon
go on a roadtrip(4.25.2011 Memphis, TN for the Beale St. Music Festival)- learn to play ONE song on the guitar I’ve owned for 13+ years
- create a work of art
win a tennis match(3.25.2011)- send handwritten cards to 20 different people
adopt an organization….a charity, NPO, something I can own up to(2011 is the year of Team In Training via the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society…. see #1)- get into the habit of reading (and reread some books from high school summer reading lists)
- dress up for Halloween - and make it awesome
- go on a blind date (12.1.11, ahem.)
- hike Stone Mountain or Kennesaw Mountain or some other small nature hike
- watch and read all 7 Harry Potters (nerdalert)
attend another music festival(9.24.11, Music Midtown!)- have something industry-related published (9.12.11: big time.)
- purchase a piece of furniture (I’m officially old + boring…. and I love it)
- find a Catlanta (12.10.11, !!!!!!!)
- get a passport and plan for Claire’s Grand Adventure 2012 (India, Europe, or Greece. or all of the above?)
- somehow become the owner of an iPad (preferably without purchasing and and even MORE preferably via a legal means of procurement).
