1) Throw the party that you wish you were invited to.
I stole this cartoon (with permission) from Mike, because I always loved the idea of doing your best to proactively make the world a place you like to live in. Throwing a Family Matters party is probably a good place to start.
2) Buy less. Produce more.
I've been cleaning out my room this week and decided that I own far more clothing and knick knacks than I can ever use. So. I'd like to spend a little less time and money buying stuff I don't need, and spend more time making stuff to sell to other people that didn't make that same resolution. J/K. But I like the idea of learning to better use what I already have, and focus more time on my personal projects and saving my money for bigger stuff that I need a little .
And though there is no way I can cut shopping out of my life completely, I like the idea of sticking to mostly second-hand stuff (I already do, mostly) and if I do buy new, to buy something nice that will last. No Forever 21 in 2009. That doesn't rhyme or anything, but it seems like a pretty good shopping motto.
3) Keep my desk work spaces clean. This one might be impossible, but I would like to think that every Sunday night I am going to make sure that my desk space is cleaned off. I'd like to believe this will help me be more productive during the week with projects...
4) Get SCUBA certified. And then go some place tropical to celebrate! You will all be invited. But you will have to dress like your favorite Family Matters character.
5) Write my Grammy a letter every Sunday. I used to be good at this and quit some time this year. I am starting it up again.
6) Get more out of SF. See more local art shows. Eat at new restaurants. Bike to places I haven't been.
7) Watch a lot more Gossip Girl. (Hey. I always have to add something to the list that is going to be easy to accomplish)
