Ok folks, I’ve been watching people on the web work on this challenge for some time now, Chrissy, Mae Jane…accomplish 101 preset goals in 1001 days. I’m going to give it a shot. I’ve tried things like this before. I few years ago I made a list on 43 things, but I was only able to come up with 33 things to do. So, how, I ask myself, am I going to be able to come up with 101 things if I can’t even come up with 43. I need some suggestions. I intend to include some of my 43 things on my new list, although some need to be updated and tweaked a little. For instance, I don’t think I’m going to manage to visit all of the world’s continents in 2.5 years. I mean, I have two down so far but financially it’s just not feasible right now. And, I don’t think I’m gonna swing the mile under 10 minutes. Last I checked I clocked around 12 to 13 and that was before I had Liam. However…and I know I’m probably going to get some head shakes from Mike on this one, but I really do want to run a 5k. Just a 5k. Nothing big. I’m fully aware of the possible pain that would result form such an endeavor but my plan is to do it this summer…get it out of the way now, accomplish that goal before the arthritis really kicks in, then finally wave good bye to my running days and hello to bike riding and elliptical trainers. The socks, however, I have a head start on. I’ve been working on a pair of socks for Mike for a few months now. I have one done. This is pretty much the first knitting project I’ve done that didn’t end in a scarf or hat.

But still, I’m stuck. I need some suggestions. My only request is that it doesn’t require the consumption of bugs (if I’m stranded in the desert…ok, fine, roast up that beetle) but stick with the crafty, creative, sporty and adventurous endeavors (except, I did mention the bugs, right?).

Tomorrow’s Friday. I swear, this week seemed endless. But, if I’m remembering right, this also means that Mike will be posting his photo of the week soon. We went to the park the other day and he took some really great shots using the blue tinted filter again. I’m using one of the pictures he took of Liam for our banner. It really is nice to see Mike using a camera for artistic purposes again. He never lost his touch, that’s for sure.
