Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me...


So I'm 32 today.
I figured since I do all my resolutions on my birthdays instead of New Years, I'd take inspiration from Angelina's post about Lists and write up mine.

So here goes, 32 things to do before I turn 33.

1) Be a better mother (This is always first and foremost)
2) Attempt to post more often. Once every couple of months just isn't cutting it.
3) Finish Maisy's scrap quilt
4) Finish Arlo's scrap quilt
5) Start Arlo's bandanna blanket
6) Finally work on Amy's Ugly Elvis Quilt
7) De-clutter my house
8) Visit Tucson again
9) Not buy any new fabric until I use what I have
10) Lose more weight (yeah, yeah, I know I say that every year. There's a lot to lose)
11) Get another tattoo
12) Learn how to knit (though I'm not sure I need another hobby)
13) Make more of my own clothes
14) Find some new good books to read
15) Start using the library more
16) Make a project wall (or whatever it is you call the thing you hang your quilt squares on)
17) Make more stuff with the kids
18) Keep going to the gym 3 mornings a week
19) Tell my friends how much I love and appreciate them more often.
20) Be Thankful for what I do have everyday
21) Get a bike
22) Start riding said bike to work
23) Tell my kids how much I love and appreciate them more often
24) Buy more grown up shoes (flip flops probably aren't the best "professional shoe" choice)
25) Cook more
26) Learn how to make really good cinnamon rolls
27) Plan Arlo's Thomas Birthday party (totally his choice)
28) Talk Maisy down from her birthday party plans (seriously, the girl has the invitations already made and her birthday isn't for 7 months!)
29) Make our halloween costumes (and find a non-slutty queen of hearts costume. It's harder than you'd think!)
30) Go camping with the kids
31) Write more thank you notes
32) Laugh & smile more

Whew.
That's a lot of stuff.
Thank goodness I've got a whole year.

What are your goals?
