2011 bucket list

happy new year!

even though its just a date, a change of a number on a calendar; a new year is always a refreshing start for me. last year i created a bucket list of things i want to do by the time i am 50, but that's still some time off!!  having been inspired by some other bloggers' various "bucket" lists and follow up blog posts  on such lists, and never having really been a fan of (or successful at?) new years resolutions,  i decided to start the year off with a bucket list. maybe a new tradition!  

so for 2011:

1. keep up with this blog on a regular basis for the entire year. and maybe a side goal of having a whopping 10 followers, maybe even a guest blogger or chance to guest blog. blog blog blog!

2. read at least 5 books. including finishing the two i started!

3. take a class at a junior college or night school, etc. maybe an art or photo class, or something in business....

4. travel somewhere NEW outside of CA. (this shouldnt be THAT hard.....)

5. live outside of orange county. 32 years in the same 20 mile radius? time for a change!

6. cook 1 new recipe (not bake, cooooooook) each month

7. save $! now.....this one needs a little more goal setting and definition, for sure!

8. take voice lessons

9. "do something" culturally, physically, outdoorsy - something new and different,  (museum, hike, build something) once a month and explore my surroundings.

10. generally improve health. drink more water. maybe less coffee......

and thats that! i like the positivity of challenges of things TO do versus things NOT to do.  maybe that is my word of the year? DO!
