2011 Here I come!

2010 has just come and go so quickly in just a blink.  One minute Halloween is sneaking up on you, the next it's two days till the New Year.   It seams so cliche to say that time flys, but it is completely true! I have big plans for the new year, but what I have learned from the past is to look forward and most importantly be present.  I am constantly in the want to try new things, go new places, that I sometimes forget what is going on right here right now.  Don't worry.....I will still continue to dream and aspire for a new and better life, but I will enjoy the little things a long the way.

Here is my bucket list for 2011 (in no particular order).

1. Eat seasonal as much as possible
2. Take a sewing class ( I brought this over from last year :(   )
3. Go on at least 6 hikes from my Take a Hike book.
4. Host a brunch
5. Go on a picnic
6. Try 8 restaurants I have not been too  ( I tend to savor familiar tastes.  The Corson Building is a must this year!)
7. Go to a wine tasting
8. Take a vegetable gardening class
9. Clean out the garage  (This makes me feel to grown up to see those words)
10. Clear out the bushes on the side of the house to house a larger vegetable garden
11. Take 6 cooking classes
12. Reduce waste ( I need to be better at recycling at home)
13. Cook a dish with goat meat
14. Cook a duck
15. Go surfing
16. Go to Paris
17. Learn how to can food ( I think this was from last year too)
18. Run a 5k
19. Try 30 new recipes!  This will not include the first duck and goat recipe
20. Clear out George's  room (yes my kitty  has a room) and make it into a reading room slash office.
21. Go to the Edmond's farmers market.
22. Attend a concert-I haven't been to one in years!
23. Edit, print, and put together albums of my past trips
24. Do and try everything whole heartily

I have a head start on a few above, but not completed.  Stay with me this year as it is going to be an exciting one!
