Tomorrow I will catch a fish...
It's been forever since I have been on here, and I do apologize (to myself as well). It's not that I have taken a break from the project. Really, it's just that I have taken a break from sitting in front of a computer and thinking of things to say for a little while. I finished teaching an extended school year, took a few summer excursions, and took care of a couple of medical issues. Now I am ready to get back to typing about this project, and the fact that there is only a little more than four months left...
So, tomorrow I catch the big one...
Or a tiny fish... It really doesn't matter. The fact is, I have a fishing rod, I have learned how to cast my line, I have practiced in the back yard (the neighbors love watching me), and tomorrow I will try this LIVE. AND I will have the camera there to document the process. Because fishing shouldn't be calm and relaxing. It should be intense, well-planned, and documented...
For progress on the other projects, I will say there are two that will have their obligations met soon. Tom's birthday frog cake will be made in a couple of weeks for his birthday gathering (which was postponed from his original birthday), and we have a road trip scheduled when we fly to Seattle in October. So, there's a few more knocked off the list!!
In a few weeks I will be meeting with my seniors in the National Honor Society. I have a few ideas to raise money for charity, and I want to involve them in the process and teach them how to create change in their community. So, raising $1,000 should be fairly easy, and will occur before October.
More than anything, I really have to get to reading the books. I am a teacher, and I am having a hangup on reading? Probably because my stack grew incredibly large over the school year, and I have moved the exciting reads to the front of the line. So, I guess I will be reading the classics while on the exercise bike...
Here's the list! It's getting smaller!
Learn to play the drums.- Read ten great works of literature.
- Catch a fish. (tomorrow!)
Learn how to create a website.- Run a 10K. (due to leg issues, I am still figuring out how to work this. ideas?)
- Learn how to decorate a cake. (July for Tom)
Learn 20 words in Italian.- Take a road trip. (while in Seattle in October)
- Eat vegetarian for one month... and enjoy it! :-) (thinking the month of September)
- Ride a hot air balloon. (October)
- Fly across the country. (Seattle- October)
- Raise $1,000 for a charity.
Karaoke... in public...- Buy and drink a REALLY expensive bottle of wine. (birthday?)
Get in much better physical shape- making my numbers look much better at my physical before 30.
