I want to...

...Complete a triathlon.

...Plant a garden in our backyard with vegetables and flowers.

...Go for a hike in the foothills.

...Get a haircut (nothing drastic... just some layers and shaping).

...Go to France.

...Bake a cake (at this altitude, this is trickier than it sounds).

...Go to Lilith Fair.

...Speak German, like REALLY speak it, not just stumble through it.

...Eat some pineapple. And maybe some peaches.

...Finish hanging the pictures we already have framed. And frame a few more.

...Try the Dior mascara that everyone is always raving about.

...Play fetch with Montana.

...See my best friend.

...Play tennis with Torsten.

...Go to Japan.

    I love how your list has some things you could easily do now, despite your financial limitations, and others that are things you can look forward to in the future.

  11. I bake cakes all the time and often post cake recipes on my blog. It's really not that tricky to bake at altitude; the biggest difference that I notice is that often a cake is done sooner than the time given in a recipe, so I usually check it about 10-15 minute early.

  17. I want to...go on vacation. Seriously, I badly need it.

    If you're interested, I wrote a review of the Dior mascara. It is fab but I listed things I did/didn't like about it. I can send you the URL.

  18. I love this list.

    I want to get out of my house and start seeing the people who live close to me before I move away.

    I want to put on some fake eyelashes and wear them for at least a day.

    I want to finish paying off all of my student loan debt before I'm too old to walk.

    I want to get my eyes checked and get a new pair of cute glasses that don't make my eyes hurt.

  20. this is a tall order.... although generally I hope for:
    - not having to work very much, and yet get paid plenty (damn I should have gone into banking 10yrs ago and then run off to Tortola with my ill gotten proceeds)
    - getting a grip and finishing my MA
    - go on many many vacations to warm places.
    - get down to a size 10 again, (that was the size that I felt most comfortable at)

    - travel more, esp to Peru and India and Morocco
    - decorate the house
    - build shelves for all my books so I can finally get them out of storage
    - bake more
    - obsess less about babies and put that energy into living life now instead
    - plant sweet-smelling things in my new garden
    - exercise more (maybe get back into running now the mornings are light again)
