Things I learned:
*This was a very ambitious (and at times, vague) list to have. I’m surprised I finished what I did.
*I need to make the list a tangible list. Like, attatinable. Less “teach Ollie new tricks” and more “Get Ollie to fetch a ball”.
*Once I finally got a tattoo, I felt like the rest of the list didn’t matter much anymore. So, even though I didn’t finish it, I still feel a sense of accomplishment!
*I like lists. It keeps me on track and on task. So….I present:
THE TOP 5 THINGS TO DO IN 2012!
1) Buy fresh flowers every week that I know I will be in town.
Flowers are said to make you smile, and I want to smile, damn it!
2) Do yoga 2x/week.
We’ll see if I can make this a habit. It’s been hard to even keep it on the books for one day. But I think it’s do-able.
3) Cook/eat-in 1x/week.
Need to save money so I can buy a bigger kitchen. Plus, I need to expand my culinary repetroire.
4) Read the rest of Harry Potter.
Just because I want to.
5) See/rent a movie 1x/month.
I used to watch films at least once a week. But I’m loving tv so much more now…however, I have found that my attention span for movies is fading, so I’d like to watch at least one movie a month. Mine as well justify my netflix account for once!
