12 month list

this is just a rough draft and seeing as how i just fly by the seat of my pants thru life it will probably change but here is my list for the next year. 12 to do's for the next 12 months. cross your fingers that i can stay focused.
1. Get my house in working order and decorated to our liking.
2. Learn how to take pictures. good.
3. Learn how to use my expensive ass sewing machine my lovely husband and father in law bought me for christmas.
4. Make and sell an article of clothing.
5. Increase my credit score.
6. Take a cooking class.
7. Start a vegetable garden.
8. Go rock wall climbing and make it to the top.
9. Take a dance class even though i will be really bad at it and red in the face from embarassment.
10. Take a few guitar and/or piano classes.
11. Sing a song in front of an audience or record one.
12. hmmm... readers pick maybe? i have 11 months to figure it out i guess.

let's get this show on the road

so i've decided it's time to clean up my life and get this show on the road. and want u all to be included in my journey. i want to inspire people and not just be inspired by others. i've been thinking about a plan to get to the person i want to be. it starts with one year. no i will not be buying a julia child book and blogging about all my disasters but yes i did take a little bit from julie and julia. how could i not? so one year. and i'm thinking of breaking it down month by month. 12 things i've always wanted to learn or do. and 12 months to do it all. or maybe i should back up and just start this blog with what's bothering me in my life. maybe i should work on cleaning up my life before i bring new stuff in? let's see... stop biting nails permanently, lose this baby weight since my baby is not a baby anymore, get rid of pesky debt, get my new house in working order, go back to school, start my own business, deepen my relationships with family....
bringing the new things into my life that i've wanted to do sounds so much more appealing though. learning how to play guitar or piano, recording a song or playing and singing a song in front of people, making it to the top at rock wall climbing, taking cooking classes, learn how to use my sewing machine and actually make sophie something with it, etc...
hmmmm...

what to do

so i'm exhausted. but my mind keeps thinking about this darn blog. kinda like when myspace first came out and everybody and their dog was constantly on it. then facebook came. then twitter. i've tried all of them ( facebook being my fav, if u can call it that). i mainly like to just see what everybody is saying and doing. keep in touch without really having to keep in touch.
days, seasons, years are passing by and i've realized that i'm not taking life by the horns. hence, the blog. life is not a dress rehearsal. yeah, maybe a little cheesy. i've heard that saying before and probably rolled my eyes at it and the people that needed corny little reminders to live their life the way they should be. ahhh to be young again. full of confidence. zest for life. a sponge. i lived on the edge at a young age and soaked up everything i could good and bad. i think i lived my life so fast and dangerously that now i'm a shriveled up old jaded raisin now. but wait. i'm not even 30! i have to keep reminding myself this. i still have plenty of life. plenty of time. health. maybe not wealth but i can work around that. so here i am.
29, happily (for the most part) married, 1 great kiddo, a new house, 1/2 of a j.o.b., and a pretty good chunk of my life left to live.
now i just have to figure out what to do with it. any suggestions?
