The List

I have been making a mental list of things I should do before the 50th anniversary of my birth in 2012. I decided that I should commit them to writing, so here goes.

1. Learn Greek enough so that I can join the family conversations during our annual trips to Cyprus.
2. Select an instrument and begin learning or take lessons.
3. Take singing lessons.
4. Write a complete collection of poetry and send to publishers.
5. Have breast reduction surgery.
6. Write a book with my friend, Melinda.
7. Begin classes for my PhD.
8. Plant garlic (in October, to be harvested in summer 2012).
9. Redecorate one of the bathrooms; change counters in kitchen.
10. Buy more clothes.

I will add to the list as I think of things. It's not really a "bucket list," but just a few things that need to be done before the big 50.
