#16 finish my 2011 scrapbook - that means I will have to actually start it, but with the beauty of digital scrapbooking, I have faith that I can accomplish this in less than a year. The added bonus is a girls' weekend...or two!
#17 have my students (and myself) write letters to our troops at least twice this year - I always mean to do this, but the crunch of testing always over-shadows my good intentions. This needs to be a priority, though! I started that quest today when one of my students asked me to buy popcorn from his boyscout troop. They have an option to buy popcorn and have it sent directly to our troops. What a great idea!
#18 get a pedicure every two months -
a girl's got to take care of her feet! Especially during the winter months, I feel that I can't justify a pedicure since I'm not wearing flip-flops, but my feet will be doing a lot of work on my path of self-improvement. They deserve a treat, too--I may even have to go freshen up my polish with some purple Pure Ice tonight!
#19 clean out my closet and get rid of those clothes I keep hoping will fit someday - let's be honest...my oldest son is almost 12. If the pants don't fit at this point, they aren't going to! Plus, there's the incentive to go shopping if I do drop a pants size (not that I've ever had a problem finding a reason to go clothes shopping!).
#20 learn to knit - my favorite accessory on a cold day is a scarf, but I can never seem to find the exact color (or price) that I want when I'm out shopping. I hear there are some great Pinterest tutorials for knitting, so it's worth a try.
Well, the first 20 were relatively easy...I can't wait to see what the next 20 will look like! Thanks, friends, for the encouragement! I'm anxiously awaiting my sister's list of 40 so I can post them, as well.
I have one you can add! Do a skydive tandem jump! Really! I tried and it and loved it- not that I will do it again, but it was very different than expected.
