My list of 22 things

There was a challenge/idea post on Twitter that came from Riki Rachtman - yes, the old Headbanger's Ball guy.

His challenge?

Make a list of 22 things you will accomplish in 2011.
 

Specific goals, not just 'be healthier' type stuff. Actual measurable, attainable goals. So, I've been thinking about it and I think I'm gonna give it a go.

Here's my list:

#1 - Run/Jog/Walk 400 Miles
#2 - Enter and finish a 5K run
#3 - Get 6 hours of sleep almost everyday
#4 - Read 4 books I have never read before
#5 - Watch 12 documentaries
#6 - Buy a pair of pants or shirt once a month
#7 - Take each of my daughters to lunch/dinner, just me and them, 3 times.
#8 - Audition for 2 shows/plays
#9 - Act in a play, that actually charges admission
#10 - Attend 4 live plays
#11 - Attend 2 live plays NOT at Theatre Siena
#12 - Attend 3 live music shows
#13 - Buy a new bass guitar
#14 - Learn to play 4 new songs on the bass
#15 - Attend all of the SHU Football team home games Inaugural season
#16 - Fly a kite
#17 - Go to our cabin 3 times
#18 - Lose 25 pounds
#19 - Get the tattoo that I've been designing for the last year
#20 - Plant a tree
#21 - Build a dividing wall and add electricity to the basement
#22 - Run for public office, probably school board

So, that's it. Some of these are a given, but I haven't actually done them yet and I could always back out of it. Some are easy, some are a little more difficult. I'm sharing with you and I'm not ashamed of any of these goals. I need to get a small planner or something to keep track of these things and when I do them. Let's see how I do. If you are interested in doing it too, take it and run with it.
