Here’s a running list of goals, both short- and long-term, that I have for life. I am actively pursuing some of these, while others would just be awesome and more likely will be accomplished in a different lifetime (see #8):
Start a blogRun a half marathon- Run a full marathon
- Stop biting my nails (update: this is a work in progress as a 2012 New Years resolution…)(update #2, January 2013: this is not going well…)
Take a hip hop dance class- Write a book
- Complete a triathlon
- Be a dancer in Beyonce music video/become best friends with her
Sky dive- Live (for more than a year) in another state or country with Joe
- Be in a Broadway musical
- Learn to do a back tuck
Get married (<—cross your fingers that Joe doesn’t realize what I’ve duped him into doing…)Ha! GOT ‘EM- Have (non-fur) kids
- Learn to play an instrument
- Learn a second language fluently
- Get a graduate degree (<—undecided what it should be for)
- Be my own boss
- Bungee jump
- Learn how to drive stick shift (<—I don’t know how many times Joe has tried to teach me, and how many times I have gotten out of the car wanting to rip the dang “stick” out of the car)
- Take a photography class
- Beat my first half marathon time (1:52:39) (update: currently training for my second half)
- Grow my hair down to my waist (<—also a work in progress. My hair is EXTREMELY thick, so we’re going to have to see if I will be able to bear the weight of it without a neck brace) (update: I am starting to think I will just look like Chewbacca with that much hair. The longer my hair gets, the lazier I get; thus my goal of looking like Beyonce becomes increasingly unattainable)
- Hike the Appalachian Trail (or at least part of it)
Own a cat(update: check out the Willoughby Wednesdays tab to meet my child)Buy a house(update: we closed on our first house October 31, 2012)
