My List

I used to compile a list of things that I wanted to accomplish in a year.  Normally you start on your birthday and compile a list of things as long as your current age.  With my birthday in June it just always falls by the wayside and gets confused half-way through with resolutions.  So this year I’m going to do 26 before 27, but it’s really more of a 26 things to do in the year I turn 27.  I didn’t really need to explain this…

  1. start building a house (we got the land!)
  2. thoroughly and completely plan the interiors (already have the smash book)
  3. sew something once a month
  4. do a pinterest project once a month
  5. exercise at least 5 times a week
  6. read 50 books this year
  7. actually use my day planner (stay organized step one)
  8. spend less on non-essential things (clothes, eating out, crafts)
  9. clean out the spare room and organize it
  10. get some good use out of my road bike
  11. buy my dream camera!
  12. start saving for my first lens purchase
  13. be a better friend
  14. find some vintage hot rollers (they’re so much better than the new ones)
  15. have a Sunday Adventure at least once a month
  16. do Morea Seal’s 52 Lists project
  17. print our wedding photos (will this ever happen?)
  18. complete the mini marathon
  19. use our kayaks
  20. shop at the farmers market when possible
  21. be active in a book club
  22. play piano at open mic night for stephanie
  23. become more involved at church
  24. Take nice photos of the huz and I
  25. Mail real cards to people
  26. Go to the midnight showing of Catching Fire and make a shirt for it

Sometimes, I get a little weirded out by people's resolution lists. Each year, I generally have one: "Don't panic." with varying levels of success, lol. Maybe longterm goals are just too easy to forget.

I think take a trip to Nashville should be on this list as well. Just sayin'

I adore this list! And I look forward to seeing how these go :).

I love the "Morea Seal's 52 list Project". I just discovered a new love!

Thank you :)

I have never compiled a list like this, but I really think I should make one!
About your #5: Wow, 5 times? That is quite a lot! I always tell my myself that I need to exercise, I was actually planning on going to the gym this morning. And what happened? I stayed in bed and then had a big breakfast...I fail.

And I love #6, because I love to read. :)


PS: THANK YOU for your advice on centering the sidebar image! It worked!!

I do one of these yearly bucket lists too! I find it to really be good motivation to get to the things I've always wanted to do! My favorite item is your midnight showing of cathing fire with the shirt :)
