Name 3-5 things that you want to do, but haven't simply because you haven't.

Honestly, I have not done things I want because of things like a lack of time, opportunity, or (in my case) a car). But, that being said, I will list a few things anyway:

1) I want to get back into horseback riding but haven't
2) Taking some classes at the UofC continuing ed school for adults
3) Organizing my photo albums - I really want to do this but it's such an overwhelming amount of work that I keep putting it off
4) I really want and need to spend more time with my nephews but it's tough without a car and them being in the burbs

see I know why these things don't get accomplished because they are outside my comfort zone and for some reason right now in my life - going outside my comfort zone just doesn't seem or feel like an option! :( But here they are!

1) Finish my degree (course first I wish I knew what I wanted a degree in!?!?!) but the 16 week commitment is a stretch for me! :(
2) Be more active... use my gym membership... walk outside with Hootie more... ANYTHING!
3) Travel overseas... I don't exactly know where or what to see and I wish I did! :p
4) I'm sure there are more I just can't think of them at the moment!?

I think you should organize one photo album in the next two weeks.

I think you should eat at least two cooked decent meals this week.

ehhh I don't know!?!?!? I want to - I start out with the best intentions then I get bored and class just happens to fall on the one night of the week that I want to stay home so I do... :( and then I end up pulling out before the cutoff time so I just get a W... which isn't much better than an F!

I've been checking MW and UMKC schedules but their Spring schedules aren't up yet... we'll see... but honestly I haven't a clue what to get my degree in so taking classes seems futile. :-s But I want to!?!?! LOL

Yeah... maybe we should consider starting to plan something... seems like something that takes alot of planning (well not a cruise - but that takes time to get the body in shape LOL yeah right!) and saving... how much does a trip like that (overseas) cost!? Hmmm... something to look into.

And what about you... did you assign YOURSELF tasks? LOL

Well, my philosophy is that if you don't have the motivation to take that first step (registering), then you don't really want it badly enough.
