Next Year is the Year

As we approach the end of the third quarter of 2014, I'd like to take a minute to plan for 2015.  Here are some ideas. 

 

Learn to Sing:  Is this even possible?!?   I bet there is some kind of an app you can buy for your phone to teach you how to sing on key.  If not, dibs on that patent.  

Learn to Dance:  I love to dance at weddings but wouldn’t it be cool to really know how to bust a move?

Take a Vacation: It’s been a long time since I’ve been somewhere I’ve never been.  I’m going to Canada for a few minutes when I run a leg of the Detroit relay next month, but other than that I’ve already been everywhere I’ve been lately.        

Break 20 in the 5k:  This year I’ve been asked TWICE--that is, ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS--what grade I’m in.  But the truth is these old lady legs aren’t getting any younger and if not next year it may never happen.  Talk about pressure!  

Eat at the Casino Buffet:  #YOLO

Connect with my Spiritual Side:  I like to read ancient texts that remind me about the divinity of the universe.  And listen to “On Being.”  I should do both more frequently.  

Study Wine:  In a classroom.  I have already completed my homestudy in reading Two Buck Chuck labels and acting like I know what a “floral note” tastes like.   

Give the Dog a Bath:  Zola Budd hasn’t had a bath since we lived on Cinnamon Street.  Two years ago.  To say that she hates getting a bath is an understatement.  The last time I tried it she clawed me so badly I had welts on my thighs for weeks afterwards.  To say that now she smells like Fritos is an understatement.  

Any other ideas?
