My heart set on...

With things being fairly uncertain regarding who I work for, what I am supposed to do, if I even have a job and for how long, I’ve been feeling the urge to accomplish more. And with tacking on another year soon, I’d like to cram some events in now. My current personal, professional and random to do list in no particular order is (some of which are in progress, others I don’t have a plan on when to complete):

Return to cooking and become ok by modern cuisine standards.
Improve my usage and understanding of technology.
All things resulting in new skill acquirement.
Keep up with family, friends and co-workers more. Especially if they are living elsewhere.
Becoming more aware of diverse things. (Current demand for milk powder, family customs in India and the latest craze if you are a five year old, for example.)
Have a serious multi-threat skill base in reading, writing, speaking, presenting, thinking and communicating in general.
Find the perfect tall brown boots.
Dance and hold hands with someone in the rain.
Pick up a basketball again, it has been such a long time.
Skate more.
Buy a house. (Job security necessary)
Own a classic vintage item.
Go to a psychic. The vet in my home town’s brother is – a real one too.
Lose 20 pounds and wear my favorite skinny jeans.
Create more avenues for income.
Travel.
Travel alone somewhere.
Travel to Europe.
Visit California when the tickets are cheap.
Regularly push the boundaries of my comfort zone.
Teach or mentor young girls again.
Take advantage of as many creative outlets as possible.
Become better about filing paperwork.
Get in one hell of a massive food fight.
Re-do my tattoo. It seems to be fading in some spots. Ouch.
Figure out the best way to organize the shitload of clothes I have.
Own legitimate furniture. I still have my $50 couch from college, and though it still looks very good, its probably time for a new one.
Make more jewelry.
See Sarah McLachlan in concert, front row. Cash out 401K if needed. Yes, it is that important.
See John Mayer in concert in California again – the energy is so much better than in Michigan.
See John Mayer in Connecticut – where it all began.
Take dance lessons with someone I will want to dance with.
Try one new food a week.
Do something with the 100’s of Harper’s, Lucky, Vogue, etc. issues I have.
Buy a fairly nice camera and learn how to use it.
Put together one fabulous outfit for the party on Saturday.
Remember & find the name of the song I heard on the radio on the way home…
