43 Things

There is a website called 43things.com (no longer a valid site) that is a forum for people to create a to do list of 43 things they aspire to achieve. I made my own list a couple of years ago and revisited it today to update and see where I stood. Here it is...

3. Catch up on organizing my photos. DONE
4. Take a new photography class.
5. Do Yoga daily.
6. See my friends more. DONE
7. Volunteer. DONE
8. Read one book per month. (reading more, but maybe 1 every 2 months)
9. Hike (really hike) at least 4 times in a year.
10. Take a picture every day to represent a year in my life. (lofty goal, but I am taking a lot of pictures)
11. Build a 3 season porch.
12. Write more often (and not just “to do” lists).
13. See “Wicked- A New Musical” in Boston.
14. Find a hat that I look good in.

16. See Marlie perform. DONE
17. Learn to Belly Dance.
18. Go to at least 2 concerts.

24. More trips to the Library with Ariana. DONE
25. Go sledding. DONE
26. Go down the Saco when it’s not raining. (was pregnant this year)

30. Visit IKEA
31. Learn to live more eco-friendly (in process)

35. Create a piece of clothing I will actually wear.

Ok, there are only 36 things... but that is still a lofty list! I am still plugging away, but this list was created before baby #3, so.....
