Buy a house<br />2. Run a 5k race in September to raise money for charity (and I am really not a runner so that's a big scary goal for me)<br />3. Talk to my doc about getting pregnant (I have some health issues that make this complicated)<br /><br />So yeah, big year. But I do like having goals. The past few years I've spent waiting to be at this point in my life and it sucked.Nose_in_a_bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154323912093068113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-41280896023478083802009-08-22T06:57:25.246-06:002009-08-22T06:57:25.246-06:00Last weekend I finished the cross stitch project I...Last weekend I finished the cross stitch project I've been working on since January, so I'm feeling pretty accomplished right now! I'd also like to do some (inexpensive) updating of the decor downstairs - painting the lampstands a bright color, stripping and refinishing the dining room table, etc. But grad school starts again this week, so those things will probably have to wait a while.LA and BDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380037465527798595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-18981024926528911072009-08-22T01:34:52.612-06:002009-08-22T01:34:52.612-06:00Hannukah?

My little ones are more like clean off desk area and try to get to bed before 10pm, so I'm not too tired the next day. <br /><br />Oh, and avoid Starbucks cookies.

They have AMAZING menorahs that look like pieces of art (both traditional and modern). They don't have many on their website, but maybe you could call them and see where they get them. Another option would be uncommongoods.com I think I've seen some really cool ones there!

There are so many great hikes within 20-30 minutes of us and I've only hiked once this summer.<br /><br />I also have several blankets that I need to finish knitting for all the friends who had/are having babies this year. My hands are going to be arthritic by the time I'm done! But it's so worth it.Steviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12153149217472000710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-39059069209050440502009-08-21T10:38:30.208-06:002009-08-21T10:38:30.208-06:00I think the Chanukah goal is really pretty cool.

The basic idea is that you create a list of 101 things you want to achieve in 1001 days. I have my list on my blog and try to work through it day by day. It's a really great way to keep on task. <br /><br />Yesterday I went past a shop at the mall and heard a young man playing the piano and suddenly piano lessons have moved right to the top of my 101 list! <br /><br />I would love to do a quilting class (sewing machine quilting only) but cant find one in my area at a time when I am free.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787260126425552298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119996845182958780.post-85363403979920938592009-08-21T10:07:38.947-06:002009-08-21T10:07:38.947-06:00These sound like good feasible goals.
