Things to do for 2012

Last year, I constructed a list of things that I wanted to accomplish in 2011.  Sort of like a bucket list but for the year.  I completed 41% of the list and came up with action plans for some of the other ones and rolled them forward into my new list.

This year I aim to beat the 41%, since I know what I'm up against and since I made the list.

1. Take a trip to Germany.
2. Learn German.
3. Attempt a conversation, while speaking only German, with someone in Germany.
4. Continue to read, 10 books to start.
5. Maintain the blog with regular posts.
6. Deal with the symptoms of stopping the medication. Note, it’s nothing life threatening or anything like that, so don't worry :).
7. Continue to brush Gimli and keep up his teeth brushing.
8. Continue to photograph Gimli and all of his antics.
9. Come up with a proper backup system for all my pictures.
10. Incorporate more fruits & veggies to our diet.
11. Lose 10 lbs.
12. Evaluate and decide if I need to lose an additional 5 lbs.
13. Maintain my exercise regimen.
14. Paint our house.
15. Frame and put up our pictures.
16. Go to The Arboreturm at least once a month - weather permitting.
17. Discover local restaurants/bistros etc in my city or in the surrounding areas.
18. Go to Winterlicious or Summerlicious.
19. Make a snow animal of some kind.
20. Get a massage(s) at the spa.
21. Take more pictures of Mike and me.
22. Return to the Church. Something is missing in my life and that might be it.
23. Enjoy our backyard.
24. Decide on the color scheme, proper design for the blog.  I've been indecisive and I just want something that's me and something where I won't want to change it in another few months.
25. Surprise someone.
26. Make a pie.
27. Reach out to the Rescue organization to see if there are any corgis, with a spot on its head, that need a good home with a corgi obsessed woman.

35. Move off of "Medium" on the drums in Rock Band and to "Hard".
36. Start cooking more Trinidad type food.
37. Spend less time on the computer in my non-working hours.  I'd rather fall asleep with a book in my hand than be sleepy sitting at the computer and unable/unwilling to leave it.
