Some Things I Gotta Do in 2009

When I was a kid and hung up with guilt because I was a Mormon kid, I used to set New Year's resolutions like: Don't let boys touch my boobies or don't French kiss the neighbor boy. I've since realized the stupidity in that (the harboring guilt part and the really stupid part about not touching boobies), so now I just make a To Do list. It works much better than resolutions that are broken around January 10th. And for the past few years, I've managed to check off everything on my list. Here is the beginning of my next year.

Wear my cowboy hat to the Ball
Revive Monday writing with lattes and tamales

Judge less

Make a quilt for ME

Camp on J.D.'s mountain

Read a book a month (not the same book every month like I did in 2008)
Sell a temple
Go to a place I've never been

Smile more

Write a raunchy story under the pen name of Grace Late
Drive home a different way
Increase my fold
Create a banner for CCI
Have faith in the stock market
Invest in bonds
Get my hair cut at least twice
Go see Dad
Look up an old friend
Go to St. Anthony

Send J.D. a love letter

See a movie with popcorn and licorice
Remember birthdays

Make lasagne

Send thank you notes
Make more love... make love more... love more
Buy a $25 bottle of wine
Spend at least one night in Malad
Make J.D.'s Pin-Up Girl quilt
Have grandkid sleepovers
Pet my dog every day
See more of Hollie, Dave, Jackson and baby
Ride at least 10 more miles of US89

Tell my friends I love them
