24 Things

We challenged ourselves to come up with two lists, each with 24 things on them, with the goal of checking of one each month.

The "Prepare List" is on the other blog, and will stay there.

But this blog, and this new year, is about putting the fun back in my life -- along with a big whopping dose of creativity to accompany each item as it's checked off the list.

We continue to take ideas, suggestions, and recommendations from our cadre of supporters who understand what we are trying to do, and more importantly, why we need to do these things.

Here's what we have thus far (NOTE: we reserve the right to edit, alter, and make any other changes as we deem necessary):




  1. Go shooting with the Air Marshal

  2. Hear John Williams' music performed live

  3. Go sno-tubing (DONE -- 02/09/08)

  4. Learn to curl with Hamster & Da Weeter

  5. Skate in Bryant Park

  6. Go to NYC for Fleet Week

  7. Pick fruit/veggies locally (in addition to our annual apple-picking trip to Wooster, Ohio)

  8. Host our own game night for The Second Cousins

  9. Organize the Posse, Second Cousins, and Other Grown-Ups for a night at the Drive-In

  10. Renew our vows (DONE -- 02/10/08)

  11. Find a charity that we feel passionate about, and become involved with it

  12. Go horseback riding (gawd, I miss doing that!)

  13. Paint our bedroom (okay, get somebody to do it -- anybody other than me)

  14. Finish the dining room

  15. Run a 5K (no snickering, this is not easy for someone with asthma -- I get plenty of exercise, but running has always been a physical challenge that has me reaching for the inhaler)
  16. Hike Central Park
  17. Donut Day
  18. Spy Day
  19. Attend Taste of Pittsburgh (have gone twice before and LOVED it!)
  20. Attend the Frank Sinatra/Dean Martin tribute show held periodically at a restaurant in our town
  21. Kimbolton with The Second Cousins (February 2008)
  22. Attend the grand opening of Dozen Bake Shop -- ahem, WE are on the V.I.P. Invite List!!! (January 2008)
  23. Kung Fu movie night w/Lori & Jay at the local movie theatre, for which we will sneak in booze

GOTTA COME UP WITH ONE MORE, LOL!

Help us, people?!?!?!
