things to do, things to do...

So, in just a couple of short months, I will be having what some refer to as a milestone birthday. The number isn't so much of what bothers me, it's what I've done with my life thus far. It's not that I'm unhappy with where I am, I just wonder why I've stopped myself from doing some of the things I've dreamed of doing. So, I figured that this pending birthday was a great deadline to set for myself to check some things off of the ol' to do list. There are some things that I won't be able to do, just because of silly things like once-a-year events, but I will put those at the bottom of my list to do within the coming year. Silly? Yes, very. However, if I don't give myself a deadline and stick to it, I will procrastinate forever. (see sewing stash in closet)

So, without further ado, here's the list (subject to addition):

1) Run 5k consistently (not as events, as distances around the hood. I've never been able to run much more than a mile in my entire life...this will be huge for me!!)
2) Weigh 128 pounds (I did, once. It was glorious. I wasn't in my teens either. I figure that number one will help me with that)
3) Have two tattoos. (These go along with number 2, when I hit that weight, I will have two tats. Eventually it will hit three, though that might be shortly after the b-day.)
4) Build up stock and start an Etsy store, and sell at least one item. (this is a pretty massive item!! Big challenge, but worth it)
5) Get into hot blue vinyl pants (one and two are crucial here)
6) Have an amount, which I will write down so I know it, but will not disclose publicly, in my savings account.

Things I will do in the year following (as I didn't think of this in time)
*Audition at the Guthrie Generals
*Audition for at least three of the paying gigs in town (as in really paying, not stipend paying)

That's all I can think of right now. I am off to begin on that first goal. EEEEE! Scary, yet exciting!
