I woke up before my alarm this morning out of a bad, quasi-nightmarish dream feeling all jittery, over-energized and anxious. A sure sign it's been too long since I've gone for a run.

Since I'm stuck at work not able to rearrange the furniture, I've been making lists in my head all morning. Lists like "A Few Things I Want to Do in the Next Year":
  • Take a basic photography class
  • Learn to swim properly (I have a real thing about putting my face in the water and dealing with that little neurosis is part 1 of my eventual goal of doing a triathalon)
  • Go indoor rock climbing
  • Take a trip out West that involves an actual vacation, like camping on a beach without hiking the entire West Coast Trail to get there
  • Try surfing
  • Get a babysitter and go out, with the husband, at night, once a month, like adults
  • Find a TV show on DVD to replace my addiction to Lost (everyone keeps saying Battlestar Galactica but I'm open to suggestions)
  • Eat at the much-recommended South Indian restaurant by our house
  • Find and buy the perfect all-purpose leather bag/purse
  • Convince the kid to go to bed at a reasonable time, like before midnight
  • Go snowboarding at least a couple times this winter
  • Get a tattoo to commemorate gestating and birthing a whole new person (also, get my existing wedding tattoo touched-up because I have never been happy with it - the tattoo, not the marriage)
  • Plan and invite people over for Sunday suppers

  1. Regarding TV shows on DVD, have you watched Six Feet Under? We rented the whole series on DVD over the course of a year and loved it.
    We are going to start on Big Love next.

  2. My husband was a big fan of Six Feet but I've never seen an episode. Not sure if I could watch it since I only know Micheal C. Hall as Dexter. Seeing him another role might be a tad challenging - I'd be waiting for him to start carving someone up. Big Love looks like a good one though - who doesn't love to learn more about Mormons?
