a desert fete

I might have bitten off more than I can chew. We are well into (beyond) the first half of the year. Even if you count the in progress/scheduled items, I am not half way through the list here. And there are a few things I am less interested in doing now that I was last winter. And there are so many things that conflict, especially financially. I can't buy chocolate brown boots, take a textile class, trick out my bike and do all this travelling I want to do.

For now, here is an update, and I am considering permitting myself a mid year (or a little later) swap on some of the items.

1.Take sister on a road trip (or fly to a really cool city)
2.Print/organize/archive photo collections {in progress}
3.Go back to Yosemite, preferably with a group of friends {scheduled!}
4.Register for ncarb
5.Start a drawing journal/sketchbook {oops!}
6.Host Thanksgiving (with my mother in law's help)
7.Hike Cowles
8.Visit dad in Tokyo {this might have been wishful thinking}
9.Ice skate with sis
10.Start an exercise routine {oops!}
11.Open an etsy shop {in progress, sort of, but maybe better!}
12.Engage in volunteer work
13.Watch Labyrinth with Lorenzo & Massimo
14.Find chocolate brown boots {this might have been flat out DREAMING}
15.Bake something
16.Take a textile course {swap?}
17.Visit Scarlett in Portland {scheduled}
18.Use a laser cutter {swap?}
19.Find a campground we like near San Diego {does 5 hours away qualify as near?}
20.Learn and refine photoshop skills
21.Trick out my bike
22.Host a summer outdoor movie series
23.Finish cleaning the effing shed
24.Start a real adult serious savings
25.Finish the Buffy comic series {in progress}
26.Work again in a woodshop {swap?}
27.Take mom to hot springs
28.Branch out beyond the IPA (and the IIPA, and the Pale Ale) {get on it woman!}
29.Garden, with Ben {in progress, sort of. the garden project was haulted after the dog debacle. is it too late to plant anything if we start now? with started plants?}
