29. FIND my half siblings
Children of Christina and Thomas Herman, born sometime in the 80s, I think. They grew up somewhere in Fairfield County, CT I do believe.
24. Get myself to a NOSE SURGEON and have my nose fixed
People, if I were going to get plastic surgery, it would be a boob job. I have a deviated septum and sinus polyps...
23. TAKE A HIKE at least twice a month in warmer months (0/40)
at least twice a month in warmer months
22. READ TO SEAMUS every day (2/1001)
UPDATE 01/05/08: Tried to read Go, Dog. Go! but the little bug wouldn't sit still! We looked at My First Word Book for a little while too.
UPDATE 01/06/08: Read My Dad and I
I've been sucking at this one.
01/13/08: I might make up a new #22. I found that instead of enjoying reading to Seamus, I was thinking about how I would update this list once we were done. Totally defeats the purpose!!

3. WRITE AN OUTLINE for the novel I've been mulling around in my head for 3 years.
UPDATE 01/06/08: The book will be about James McCune Smith, my ggg-grandfather, an historical novel that will begin with the NYC Draft Riots. Intrigued?

What's 101 in 1001?
A website called Day Zero ("A unique meme that challenges and inspires you to set and complete realistic goals in life") has a challenge going on where people attempt to accomplish 101 preset tasks in 1,001 days (2 years and 9 months).
I've been thinking a lot lately about goals (as opposed to resolutions, which seem to have a negative connotation), and this is perfect! So here's my list. I don't know that I will be able to come up with 101 things in one sitting, but there's a lot going on in my head that it will be nice to get down on "paper."
1. FINISH BACHELOR'S DEGREE (4 freaking classes left!) (0/4)
2. CALL HUNTER COLLEGE and find out if I can finish classes where I live now.
3. WRITE AN OUTLINE for the novel I've been mulling around in my head for 3 years.
4. GET OUT OF DEBT (specifically, credit card debt).
5. Send BIRTHDAY CARDS AND PACKAGES on time to all family at the very least. This may seem easy, but my husband has 4 parents, 6 siblings he's in touch with (and they all have kids and mates! And that's just HIS family!)
6. Convince the HUNTER COLLEGE science department to accept my lab science from Southern CT State as a lab science so I don't have to travel 3 hours back and forth to take a lab science class AGAIN at 41+ years old. I got an A+ in the first one and I'll only get another one, so come on. That's what I'll say to them.
7. VISIT the IN-LAWS in California
8. Go back to GIOVE AND ROME with my husband and bring the bean this time!
9. Ride a BIKE ACROSS MAINE with Heidi! (June 2009 with the American Lung Association in Maine)
10. RUN 10 MILES without stopping
11. BAKE BREAD 5 times (0/5)
12. GIVE BLOOD two times (0/2)
13. Watch the SUNRISE
14. Get another TATTOO. This time with my husband
15. Go to the MOVIES ten times (0/10)
16. Write a LOVE LETTER to my husband once a month (0/33)
17. Write a LETTER to five people I love telling them why (0/5)
18. Write a COMIC BOOK or GRAPHIC NOVEL
19. PRACTICE MEDITATION
20. KNIT a scarf
21. SEW SOMETHING that is wearable for one of us
22. READ TO SEAMUS every day (2/1001)
23. TAKE A HIKE at least twice a month in warmer months (0/40)
24. Get myself to a NOSE SURGEON and have my nose fixed
25. Bring Seamus to the NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM
26. Bring Seamus to the AQUARIUM
27. Get at least 5 NEW CLIENTS (0/5)
28. KISS UNDER THE MISTLETOE. I can't believe I have not yet done this!
29. FIND my half siblings
30. Go see LIVE MUSIC ten times (0/10)
31. Fill a SKETCHBOOK
32. RUN another 5K
33. Write the MOM BLENDER GUIDE to Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the First Year of Your Child's Life
