thirteen things i want in my 28th year1) a wonderful evening with my friends in san francisco tomorrow. this should be doable as we're heading up there in the afternoon and spending the night in my favorite city.
2) financial stability.
3) prosperity for snake & butterfly. sometimes i look at ben and say 'can you believe this is the same thing we set out to do almost three years ago?' it's unfathomable to me how far we've come. there are few other things in my life that i'm so proud of.
4) to start surfing, scuba diving and wakeboarding again. i love water sports. i'm very comfortable in the water but i've put off these hobbies (some of my only) since the kids were born. no more!
5) to go back to sicily.
6) to be a better mom. which isn't to say that i think i'm not a good mom. i am and i'm getting better. i want to keep getting better, be more patient, enjoy myself more.
7) new clothes. after purging so much out of this house in the past year i'm in need of a little replenishing. since money is tight i'm shopping in little bits and only buying things that i really like and that will last.
8) to stand up for myself to bk when it's appropriate. i roll over way too often in hopes of avoiding a conflict
9) to buy 75% of our groceries at the farmers' market.
10) to read more. the kindle is helping but i'd like to read every single day.
11) to see my faraway-ish friends and family more often. virtually everyone i know lives on the west coast. this shouldn't be hard; i just need to make the effort.
12) a bike!
13) good health.
