Feeling a bit of trepidation, but a lot of excitement.

Things to finish this summer:

• Organize my Issues of Vegetarian Times by August of 2007. Have the recipes in the binder, by meal type. Creating a searchable database of ingredients is optional.
• Have my ring re-sized. I would like to have a wedding ring that fits by my 2-year anniversary!
• Create an altered book. Get this done already!
• Get people to fill out this johari and nohari thing. I really just want 2 or 3 more people to at least do the johari. Surely I can do that in the next 3 months.
• Tell my father I love him. In person. If I get to see him this summer.
• Give up gluten for one month. Either do this, or take it off the list, or change it to a more useful goal (e.g. figure out whether it’s gluten or soy that makes my tummy hurt).
• Quit my job. By the end of June, this will either be done or given up on.
• Survive my first Chicago Spring. This is basically done, just need to mark it off and post something about it.
• Buy a bike. Hopefully this month!
• Use del.icio.us. Already using it, but I want to get a lot better at sharing and networking (come on, Matt, send me some bookmarks!), and also post some of the cool stuff I’ve learned to do, and then I’ll consider this done.
• Synchronize my 43T things and Remember the Milk tasks. This might cause things to be added to this challenge.
• Challenge myself this summer! Yes!

Things to make specific, measurable progress on this summer:

• Practice discardia. Do this at least one more time.
• Get the medical care I need. Get back on antidepressants; get more help with my neck and shoulder (meds, therapy, or both).
• Post 100 quotes that I like for whatever reason! Get up to 60. Also, get 2 new quotes to make up for the ones I’ve repeated.
• Stick to my FlyLady routines. Continue doing my morning routine most mornings. Have an evening routine and do it most evenings.
• Read 43 books about my city. Read at least 3 more.
• Explore 43 new places in my city. Add at least 6 more.
• Be sexually healthy. Figure out what what will help me achieve this goal. Not necessarily do it by August, just figure it out.
• Get my LCSW. Find out what this entails in Illinois.
• Adopt 2 children. Make a short list of 3 to 5 adoption agencies which might be good matches for us.
• Get strong. Like the sexual health goal, I just want to have a plan by the end of the summer.

Ongoing goals

• Be a better friend.
• Volunteer
• Journal
• Learn CSS

Wow! That’s almost all my Things, represented on this list! I’m off to reorder my list to match this goal! I feel good already – I had no idea how many of my goals were so achievable!

See more progress on: Challenge myself this summer!
