I think that it will help motivate me to do more things :) Or that's the idea anyway :)<br /><br />@raph- I don't do them yet, but the goal is to try each of them before February of 2011.<br /><br />@writer- Thanks, I actually didn't have a cubbies shirt when we were inivted to the game and I managed to find it just before the game. Grumpy cubbie :)<br /><br />You can still have a heart box, but with kid-friendly activities! I tore paper into eights and then folded it over to make a little card. Then I wrote the idea on the inside. On the outside I drew pictographs (sun for summer, snow flakes for winter, house for inside, "yum" if a meal was included, etc and $ signs for approx cost estimations and time estimations). We were to pick the card based on the pictograph and have a surprise idea, but one that we liked (else I wouldn't have made a card for it) and one that was within our weekly budget or seasonally appropriate. I bet it would work great with kiddos. They can pick by the picture and then you can do a family trip together!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795668965659926769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-84553073847822129182009-07-23T11:47:21.331-07:002009-07-23T11:47:21.331-07:00You have done a lot.

I'll be lucky if I get to PNC Park anytime soon, though.<br /><br />Liked the pic of you and mini-me.<br /><br />Great idea about the heart box.

I do slack on that, but not too often. I have plenty of pics. I am a bit of a picture-Nazi,actually (like the Soup-Nazi, but in reverse). Since I take them I feel that I ought to use them.<br /><br />@lynn (again) and @stu- Fencing is a fabulous idea! Especially since I do write fight scenes. Wow! I am going to add it.

With anything like this, or indeed the martial arts in general, it's mostly about finding somewhere you fit and where you get on with the instructors.stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388674850920848503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-58196651229430888862009-07-21T20:19:05.160-07:002009-07-21T20:19:05.160-07:00you're so great with the pics on your blog; I ...you're so great with the pics on your blog; I always forget to take pictures and if I do remember, I forget to load them onto my computer!<br /><br />Have you tried fencing? It's fun, and trying to stab an opponent is definitely mentally challenging :) Plus it's a great workout! See if there's a local fencing club that will give low-priced intro classes and provide equipment.Andrea Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13478845861604754432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-18600750681608482582009-07-21T13:27:06.247-07:002009-07-21T13:27:06.247-07:00@charles- I don't want to add to the list, but...@charles- I don't want to add to the list, but swap off, which is one of my rules :) I am saving the images, but that's a really good idea to save the stories too. Maybe I will build a shutterfly book with all the stories :)<br /><br />@spy- There's this "thing" where you do 101 goals in 1001 days--it's called Day Zero (http://www.dayzeroproject.com/). My 1001st day will be February 3, 2012, but I am thinking about giving myself an extra weeks since I spent the first couple of weeks thinking about what to do. <br /><br />Taekwondo does sound like fun :) I want to do something martial arts related. Maybe it will be that. :) That is a great idea!<br /><br />I am enjoying the whole list of goals thing. It's fun. You should totally make one :)Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11795668965659926769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-13379594311638398702009-07-21T12:27:48.531-07:002009-07-21T12:27:48.531-07:00Taekwondo!

And how long do you have to make 105? I should try something like this!Spy Scribblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299551957327543491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-30692230433276187442009-07-21T09:50:13.416-07:002009-07-21T09:50:13.416-07:00That seems like a pretty stretching list already. ...That seems like a pretty stretching list already.
