At the stroke of midnight a new year will begin. Each year I come up with a list of things I’d like to do in the upcoming year. But as with most things in my mind/life…it’s not a typical list. Sure I have diet goals, career goals and all that jazz. I just tend to work on those goals constantly. So, without further ado here is my 2013 list of things to do, master, try and travel. I hope you enjoy…and maybe get a couple ideas for your own list. {No particular order of course.}
1. Finish mastering the Rubix Cube. It’s all about memorizing a pattern. I’ve got it all the way to the last side…now, to finish it off.
2. Go to Voyager National Park.
3. Learn to tie knots. Good ones. Like a sailor, or Gale from the Hunger Games.
4. Reupholster a chair. {Not just the seat, but a whole living room chair.}
5. Improve my unicycling skills. I’d like to be able to ride in a circle.
6. Dress my cat up in a lot of costumes and take her photo. Just for laughs.
7. Learn to bake artisan breads.
8. Make macaroons.
9. Get on a letter writing schedule and write more letters…to all the people I love and don’t see very often. And to help me do that….
10. Make personalized stationary.
11. Get my passport updated {it still doesn’t have my married name on it.} Then…
12. Go to Canada {I’m practically there.}
13. Paint a mural.
14. Improve my eye makeup skills.
15. Clear my closet. Seriously, once and for all get rid of all the stuff I don’t use.
16. Learn to wire a lamp.
17. Make an amazing cheesecake.
18. Go to an auction and bid on something I love.
19. Go to the Mall of America.
20. Go to the shooting range.
21. Make some killer chili.
22. Make tomato soup from scratch.
23. Paint a piece of furniture.
24. Learn about arranging flowers. Then make some awesome arrangements.
25. Landscape.
26. Throw an amazing party.
27. Do something to benefit a cause.
28. Conquer the french braid consistently.
29. Go dog sledding. {Yes, there really is a place in North Dakota that will teach you!}
30. Learn an ice skating trick. {This one might have to wait until next winter.}
31. Climb something.
32. Go backpacking.
33. Visit Montana. Anywhere…but preferably Glacier National Park.
Will they all get done? Probably not. But it’s sure fun to try. Enjoy your NYE. Promise me you’ll think of Dick Clark at least once tonight. Be safe. If you indulge adultly, get a DD. Pinky swear? K good. I’m so excited about spending another year with you!
