- finish the clock project over the mantel
- finish my throw pillows
make a prettier lanyard for my work badge- make blankets and/or host a drive for blankets for Project Linus
- open an Etsy Shop
- try geocaching
- go to the zoo or aquarium with Tyler and Lincoln
- find a treasure at Unclaimed Baggage
- read The Chronicles of Narnia
- write an ebook
- compete in a mini-triathlon
- unlock all the exercises on my Wii Fit
- establish (and use!) a budget
- resume keeping a journal
- read Catch-22
- ruthlessly de-clutter the house
- hang pictures

pay off the credit card- establish a habit of having Family Home Evening
- ??? (this one is a surprise! I know, I’m lame. But I’ll tell you when I’m done!)
Like Nicole, I'll cross these off as I finish. Anyone interested in joining me with as many items as your next birthday? I'd love to see some other ideas! Some of these are a bit of a stretch. :)
I saw Wicked here in Des Moines last year. ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!! It helps if you get to know the soundtrack before hand, though. But it was so good, I can't even describe. I think you should put it on your list anyway...just maybe not NY?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting it. I did make a hand written list on a paper, which I no longer can find. This is a much better idea. lol...

Kelli, I could so help you out with a few of those goals. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy husband calls me a ruthless, cut throat, purger of the the worst kind. I love to de-clutter... nothing stays in my home for very long if I haven't used it in the past 6 months (except for holiday goods of course). Shawn is more the 'I may need this in the year 2023, therefore I must hold on to it' type... we balance each other nicely. But I must confess some things are edited while he is at work so I do not face any opposition, evil snicker!!
ReplyDeletePS - I heard Lincoln had a great time in Nursery. Yippee, so look forward to hanging out with him on Sundays :)
Hi Kelli, thanks for stopping by my blog! I have the What to Expect book, lots of great info!
