Ten on Tuesday

This week’s topic is 10 Things You Want To Do in 2012.  A bit of daydreaming about what the year might bring and this is what I came up with…

1. Take a vacation – the kind where I don’t stay at home.  Since money is an object, it won’t be far away or fancy or even very long, most likely – I’d just like to get away someplace fun, even just for a weekend.
2. Spend more time outside – more walks, more time at the park, more fresh air.
3. Plant a little garden – Maybe in containers or maybe I’ll take over the little garden space that sits empty in a corner of my yard (though I’m not convinced there’s enough sunshine to grow much).  I’d like a few tomato plants, maybe a pepper or two and to put my hands in the dirt.  I miss that.  I’d like to do something more than my little herb pots from last summer.  And yes, reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle is rubbing off on me.
4. Speaking of books – read more.
5. Spin more – no more leaving my wheel neglected between Guild meetings.
6. Knit more socks than last year – 2 pairs was sort of sad.
7. Knit the Kousa Dogwood Shawl – I’m 2/3 of the way through spinning the singles for it, then on to plying.  Then, I’m finally getting my little dream project on my needles.
8. Keep growing my programs at work.  I’ve got plans – big ones.  Once we get our youth shelter open, onward and upward.
9. Spend more time with my friends.
10. Take more risks – no more playing it safe! (and no, I’m not elaborating )

Here’s to an amazing 2012!
