The Newest To-Do’s

Don't mess with a lady with a toolbelt

I have a goal of having 100 goals. Make sense?

I don’t want to speak for all human kind, but I find it extremely helpful to have a direction when purposely deciding to go off course. That seems a bit oxymoronic, but indulge me for a moment.

After quitting my job, deciding on a new career path, and turning down a rather lucrative opportunity, it was important for me to ask myself “What am I doing?” I made no pretense with myself that I had to decide now what to do with the rest of my life. In fact, I gave myself permission NOT to know. It was one of the most freeing decisions I’ve made in my 25 years of existence.

However, being the Super-Virgo that I am, I have to be doing something with my life between random gigs,. That’s where the To Do List comes in handy. It provides focus. Goals.

If you haven’t checked out my progress recently, I am referring to my “Life To Do List,” here. I have added a few goals in about three different phases to the list.

I’d like to introduce you, my readers, to #’s 78-86 on the list. Per the usual, about half of them deal with travel or adventure. I can’t believe learning to drive stick-shift didn’t show up on one of the first incarnations of this list. Really excited about making an homage to Gramoo.

78. Travel to a Spanish-speaking country, y habla solamente en Español.
79. Learn to drive Stick-shift
80. Sleep outdoors under the stars (i.e. camping)
81. Make something out of clay, in honor of Gramoo
82. Fix one of a multitude of broken things in my apartment- by myself!!
83. Go Skinny Dipping in an Ocean other than the Pacific (been there, done that)
84. Be in Times Square for New Year’s
85. Visit a midwest state that I’ve never been to

I’ve still got at least 15 more goals to add this list. But as originally intended, I have 5 years to complete all of these. I therefore permit myself to take a little more time to figure out what the heck I want to do with my free time.
