Uberlist
I was pleased to see that the New Year's theme at Mama Says Om is Uberlist, something they did last year and I was looking forward to participating in this time around. Lofty and lowly, here are some plans, hopes, and resolutions for 2007, in no particular order:
- Create a mixed vegetable-herb-flower garden that is beautiful as well as functional
- Be kinder and more patient
- Eat less sweets
- Learn more about nutrition and put what I learn into practice
- Add lunches to the meal plan so that Pearl and I always have something yummy and healthy to eat in the middle of the day
- Be more diligent about reading nonfiction
- Keep the house cleaner
- Breathe deeply
- Learn to felt
- Go through my bazillion digital photographs and get rid of the cruddy ones
- Learn to knit
- Get more bookshelves
- Frame and hang more pictures
- Install a cat door
- Make a quilt for our bed
- Set up Pearl's room
- Start moving Pearl into her own bed
- Make my own greeting cards - enlist Pearl's help on some!
- Do yoga
- Learn to batik
- Start composting
- Write more
- Learn more about my camera and photography
- Go camping
- Take Pearl to a nearby big aquarium
- Bake my own bread
- Attend the UU church, at least once
- Finish Pearl's baby book and have it printed & bound
- Get braces
- Visit my brother-in-law and do some fun stuff in the city he lives in
- Plant morning glories along the fence
- Have friends and family over for dinner more often
- Get out of the house by myself more, and not on errands, just for fun!
- Buy only clothes that are comfortable, fit well, and are of good quality... this includes underwear!
- Be more appreciative of my talents
- Research vaccinations and decide what to do about them
- Brush up on my espanol
- Find a good family doctor
- Paint. Draw.
- Do some volunteer work
- Don't go so long between haircuts that I feel like a total frump
- Get dinner at least partially prepared during the day so I can spend more time in the evening with my husband and daughter
- Remember that all I'm assured of ever getting is this moment

I love the list. I need to do more Yoga as well. I promised I'd do prenantel Yoga the ENTIRE time and here I am, week 17 and I've done it once.
*sigh*
great list. I agree with the get out more not just for earrands.
I love morning glories too, and will definately have to plant some this year. I tried UU first time 2 weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Nice list. BTW love the name Pearl, very pretty!
That's a really good uberlist. I want to make a quilt for our bedroom, too, I just hope I get around to it!
Oh, and if you're researching vaccines, I recommend "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Children's Vaccinations" by Stephanie Cave, M.D., and Laura Mitchell. I thought it was very even keeled, and offered up a lot of info that I found helpful.
I love your list, and love the idea for the list too. I've been wanting to do something about/for the new year, and I think this is a good alternative to the stinky old resolutions... something to aspire to, and you'll at least accomplish ONE thing on your list. I love your last one especially!
...and I have to say I'm completely weirded out now, because I have been to 3 different blogspot blogs, and ALL of them have had the exact same word for the word verification... "smenita" weird.
great list! i am going to swipe a few for my own...
