I like lists. I like them because usually, if I put something on a list, it gets done. That's how I managed to plan a wedding. But I don't make lists often enough, which means that I don't accomplish what I should. I made a list of the things I wish to do in the next few months. I'm going to post it here so that everyone will know if I don't accomplish what I want to. Pride should keep me going.
1) French. I began learning the language with the Rosetta Stone program this summer, and then promptly quit. So I'm restarting the learning process.
2) Writing. I finished my novel ages ago, re-read it, and promptly decided that I hated it. But I love to write, and there is no reason I'm not writing things that I DON'T hate, so that I can actually get something published. Matt is planning on retiring on the large amounts of money I will make from my huge success as a novelist, so I should get on that.
3) Health. I've been doing very well here lately. (I'm going on two years without a hospital visit...That's the longest it's been since fifth grade.) I've been taking vitamin supplements, drinking lots of green tea and water, etc. Recently I've begun to work out again. All of this is good. Now I want to keep it all going.
4) Reading. There are oodles of books on my list that I need to read. I need to spend less time on facebook and more time reading quality literature that will improve my mind and my vocabulary, thus ensuring less usage of words like "oodles".
5) Drink more coffee. Just kidding. But I felt that my list needed a fifth item.
Love to all!

yaaaay lists! they're so helpful, aren't they? after studying arabic for 2 years, i realized the best way to learn a language is to buy a one-way ticket to some foreign country. so basically, you need to go to france so i can visit you there.
ReplyDeletei'm continuously amazed and thankful as to how few hospital trips you've taken these last couple of years. keep up the good work :)
drink more green tea and live forever with all of the antioxidants you receive. it's scientific fact, you will become immortal.
I think Nathan in your life has something to do with the fewer hospital visits, too :)
ReplyDeleteLists are fantabulous! I have a notebook that I fill with everything I need to buy/do whether it has to do with Christmas, the house, the yard or school. I go through that so often. Otherwise, like you, I will not achieve a thing.
ReplyDeleteOh you used Rosetta Stone? Did you like it? Are you going to use it again when you start learning French again?
