Day 34 of my 2008 Project 366 challenge

My birthday has come and gone. But I started this list a few weeks ago and, as a sucker for accountability, I wanted to be sure to post it. 1

I made a similar list last year and while I didn’t complete everything on it, I learned a few lessons. Like don’t make your goals vague and unattainable. And if you do, at least call them resolutions.

In no particular order, except numerical, here are 34 things I want to do this year:

1.   see a movie at the Boulder Outdoor Cinema

2.   take the hubby to the Denver Botanic Gardens

3.   summit another 14′er

4.   learn to swim with Mimi

5.   ride the old coasters at Lakeside Amusement park

6.   visit the downtown Denver aquarium

7.   see another play at the Curious Theater

8.   start a one-sentence journal (hat-tip to Gretchen Rubin’s Happiness Project for this one)

9.   do an unassisted pull-up

10. visit a state I’ve never been to 2

11. nurture my humor writing

12. soak in the Conundrum Hot Springs

13. bag Boulder’s triple crown: summit Bear, South Boulder and Green Mountain peaks all in one trip

14. check out Mesa Verde

15. attempt to produce and edit a video

16. try gluten-free baking

17. show up 3

18. continue to say yes 4

19. get 8-9 hours of sleep a night 5

20. run a new race

21. run an old race…faster

22. declutter

23. give more clothes away to Goodwill

24. update address book (consider a digital version)

25. update RSS reader

26. write another piece for HuffPo

27. pay off another credit card

28. eat at Frasca…finally

29. open a joint banking account with the hubby

30. undertake a photography challenge

31. make some art

32. watch Lawrence of Arabia…finally

33. secret wish #1

34. secret wish #2 6

Don’t worry my loveys. I shall keep you updated on the progress of my little hope-to-do list. And if any of you would like to join me in completing any of the above, please let me know. 7

  1. Not for you necessarily, but definitely for me. Like just about everything else on this blog. ↩
  2. New Mexico, I’m looking at you! ↩
  3. Another one I stole from Gretchen Rubin. ↩
  4. Unless saying yes prevents #19 from happening… ↩
  5. Oh, how I value my sleep! ↩
  6. See how unfair that was! Including secret wishes on a very public list. How could I? Easily, it turns out. ↩
  7. Residence in Boulder or Denver is preferred but not mandatory. ↩

  • Awesome list! And Frasca's at the top of my places-to-eat list here, for sure. Along with about 10 other restaurants I haven't hit yet because I keep frequenting The Med and Mateo...

  • Thanks Doni!

    What a hard life we have in Boulder, huh? So many amazing restaurants to eat at & so many things to do outdoors...I think that's why putting together a list like the above always feels so difficult.

    Let me know if you want to join on any adventures, culinary or otherwise!

  • Ha, I know we have it so tough here with our mountain views and patio
    seating... :)

    Culinary, yes! I'm interested in some sort of cooking classes this summer,
    for sure. Got some tips from Jac, but would love to partake and cross some
    things off my Boulder/Life Lists as well!

  • You might have trouble with the Outdoor Cinema one. There was a piece in the paper last week about them not having enough money this year, and the MoCA needs the space back where BOC was storing their gear. I'm sure they'll get support from someplace, but last I heard, the season was off.

  • Way to be a buzzkill there Balky. I tried attending a movie at the Outdoor Cinema a few years back but it was canceled due to lightning. So...I thought I would try it again. Here's to hoping I can make this one happen!

    (Also...first-time commenter? Nice. After next Friday, this is going to be all the Tara you get, buddy!)
