Ten On Tuesday

Ten Things You Want To Do in 2009.  Is that like a resolution list?  Or just stuff I'd like to do.  Sort of a bucket list.  Or a dream list, things that it would be interesting or fun or great to do, but will probably never happen.  Things are flying around in my head and the two things that are usual about this list making and me prevail.  One, there is the first list, my private list and then the list I am willing to share with the internets.  Some things are on both lists.  Then the second thing, it will be a hodge-podge of things I want to do and probably will, things that seem interesting and wouldn't it be great if I go to them and dream stuff.  Hey, we'd all like to do a lot of things, right.  Doesn't mean we can or will, but it is nice to have dreams.  So, these ten things are not goals or resolutions, or even intentions (well, some might be), just a list of ten things.

1. Do a chin-up.  A real, honest to God, hang from a bar and pull my body weight up until my chin is above that bar chin-up.  You have no idea how far from that I really am.  Maybe if there is a pit of snakes below me.....
2. Make a quilt, well two really.
3. Go to Maui.  (That is on every to-do list I have.)
4. Knit through some of my stash.  Some.  Like one ball or a couple of hundred, just some.  I'd better get started. 
5. Spin enough yarn for a large project, like a sweater.  Now, where will I find the fiber.....?
6. See peace in the middle-east.
7. Make a million bucks then give it all away then make another million. 
8. CONVINCE TYPEPAD TO GO BACK TO LETTING ME RESPOND TO COMMENTS THE EASY WAY.  BY HITTING REPLY IN THE EMAIL AND GETTING THE COMMENTORS EMAIL TO REPLY TO!!!!  It used to be that way, why change a good thing?  Why?  WHY?!  People!  Complain! 
9. Knit something for myself that is not blue.  Hey, I did it last year, right?
10. Drink through half my tea stash.  That one will be very, very hard.  I think I'll go get started.

Six.  These lists start to feel an awful lot like shoulding.  You should never should yourself, it only leads to disappointment.

You really should go to Maui, though.

I HAVE complained...they don't care. If people don't sign in to Typepad or Typekey it is easier!
Where will you find the fiber? That one makes me laugh!

[margene]

And here I thought I was signed out of Typepad....drat!

I was thinking St. Croix this morning, but Maui would be good, too.

Nice list. I feel ya on the chin up. xo

[Cookie]

I hate TypePad. In case, you weren't sure.

/sigh

I like your list. How's that tea stash coming?

[Dianna]

I like No. 7, and personally think No. 9 is unreasonable for you to add to this list. When I want to know all the sorts of blues shades out there in the world, I always check your blog!

happy New Year's, Terry. See you at SPA?

Let's work on Number 1 together!

[Renee]

Great list, especially the Maui part!!!

Why knit something that doesn't thrill you when the color runs through your fingers?

Tea stash too? I'm such an innocent.

I have no desire to do a pull-up, nor could I if I did, but I've gotta say, knock wood, my Typepad comments are working fine all of a sudden. Good luck with your list....if anyone can do all those things, you can.

[Kathy]

I can help with the tea :-)

[Jennifer]

Yeah! What's up with that Typepad thing? I only have a few bloggers emails who don't show up. Then it's impossible to find their blog, etc. I feel like I'm losing a friend.

We just got back from Maui. GO! It was so good that none of us wanted to come home.
