Fluffy Musings Of A Southern Transplant Posing As A Lipstick Librarian...

12 April 2006

Thursday Thirteen #18

Thirteen things I'd like to do/learn in the next five years are:
  1. To learn how to type. Real fast.
  2. Visit South Africa. I want to see Rachel and Cape Town.
  3. Have a kid. Yep, I said it.
  4. Lose 20 pounds. Well, at least five.
  5. Read Brothers Karamazov.
  6. Learn how to cook 5 solid meals (to impress my mother-in-law).
  7. Find new (non-apartment) living quarters. I need a yard.
  8. Visit New Zealand. I want to see Narnia and The Shire.
  9. Learn to speak Spanish (even though I don't want to).
  10. Find a cool couple to hang out with. We need couple friends!
  11. Redesign my website. Any suggestions?
  12. Rework my thesis and see if Shakespeare Quarterly will publish...
  13. Finish my European Vacation scrapbook!

I've been married almost 46 years, and #10 is very important. Find a "date night," and someone who enjoys going out with you.

Sorry, I can't help much with the web site.

Thanks for visiting my TT. Hope the library stuff is going well.

I suggest a scrapbook retreat-- I got a ton done at mine last weekend, LOL! Love to cook, and redesigning your site can be fun-- lots of help aides out there!

I love to cook. Tonight I'm just making grilled chicken nachos, though. Catch me on Chicken Pot Pie, Baked Ham, or Beef Stroganoff night. I am happy to share recipes.

 
At 3:27 PM, Blogger Pink Chihuahua Princess said...

This is a fun list. I recently made a list of things I want to do in the next five years myself (when I hit a big b-day) and having a baby was on my list as well.

Thanks for visiting my TT. Happy Thursday!

 
At 3:37 PM, Blogger Sonya said...

# 3 is on my to do list also.

 
At 3:58 PM, Blogger Jen said...

This is a cool list! I'm learning Spanish right now, it's not too bad. Do you need it for your job or something? :-)

The Lovely Bones is kind of sad, but actually kind of happy, too. It's hard to explain. You end up feeling OK when you're done, because the main character is OK. Did that make sense?

 
At 4:09 PM, Blogger LibertyBelle said...

Good 13! But why learn Spanish, learn Swedish or Dutch - that'll impress your friends! Viggo Mortensen fra LOTH speaks Danish - and luckily - so do I! :)
Good luck with all your great ideas - and btw - I like your blog lay-out!

 
At 4:18 PM, Blogger Ames said...

If you make it to NZ I can be your personal tour guide.
I can take you to "Narnia" and The Shire no problem at all but we warned there is a not a lot to see.
I can take you to Professor Kirkes house too lol.

 
At 4:41 PM, Anonymous Karin said...

Those are great goals! Good luck on accomplishing them :)

 
At 4:46 PM, Blogger Undercover Angel said...

We all need to do this exercise every once in while -- think about what we want to accomplish. These are some great goals.

Thanks for coming by my blog.

Looks like you're going to busy. Thank you for visiting my T13

Dear! Spanish is a beautiful language... it may not be the most romantic-sounding language (ie: French, which particularly turns me on when spoken by a girl lol), but it's fun and not so difficult (you can always give Japanese a shot if you wanted to show off a little, but I personally regret it *g*).

In addition, it's my first language ^_^.

About redesigning your website... I don't really know, but I guess the current layout is ok.

Keep blogging and your typing skills will improve! Thanks for stopping by.

 
At 6:19 PM, Blogger Attila The Mom said...

Oh boy! Those scrap books sure do take discipline!

Great list!

Great list! I love to do lots of those things as well.

 
At 7:11 PM, Blogger Chaotic Mom said...

Ooooh... There are a couple of great web designers out there right now. I think some may have signed onto your list, too! ;)

 
At 7:12 PM, Blogger Kelly said...

I have been working on my European Vacation scrapbook for two years. Maybe one day I will finish it.

Great list and great blog!

The traveling, cooking and losing weight all sound good to me!

Nice wishes. Thanks for dropping by.

I thought your mom would like #3. Great list! Thanks for visiting my T13 today. Come on back for the Blog Olympics Training Camp this Saturday! It's fast. It's easy. It's fun!

Having couple friends is the best!! We have a great time everytime we hang with them.

 
At 6:30 AM, Blogger Lisa said...

I want to lose some weight too. :)

Thanks for visiting my TT!

I want to go with you to visit the Shire and Narnia. 4 is a must... (sigh)

Thanks for visiting me!

 
At 5:15 PM, Blogger The Shrone said...

What a great list! I may have to borrow the topic!

 
At 8:44 PM, Blogger Shelli said...

Those are some goals to attain. If you do, I will be duly impressed. Of course, it probably doesn't mean much coming from a girl who never even flew in an airplane until she was 35.

Thanks for coming by my 13.

 
At 10:41 AM, Blogger Ruth said...

Please, please come see Narnia and the Shire with me!!
