A Little Here, A Little There

Checking in on The Year of Yes. New information is italicized.

1. Say yes - I struggle with this one. I've done a lot of saying yes to not doing things. It's still present in my everyday thinking, though.

2. Buy Flash - DONE

3. Write a book - Hit a snag, trying to write through it.

4. Singing lessons regularly

5. Perform

6. Fix house - DONE

7. Commit to writing and administration work for The Women's Colony for one year (I write twice per week and have agree to set up and oversee Twitter & Facebook for the site.) - Do we have any Twitter experts out there? I'm trying to figure out how to run a Twitter giveaway contest and the logistics are eluding me. 

8. Plan Italy trip - Told mom about it so it's out there in the universe now. Now we HAVE to do it. I'm really glad!

9. Renew passport - Have resigned myself to not finding my old passport. Am working on paperwork for renewing it without that now.

10. Go to Blogher - August. I bought my ticket so it's official, I'm going!

11. Write Aunt Rena once a week

12. Sign up for some online dating site - I have followed the letter of this law but not the spirit, more work to be done, more yes to be said.

13. Go on enough dates to judge the dating site

14. At least one session with the fabulous PT, Shelley

15. Write a Life List (per the Maggie Mason model) - Look for an incarnation of this to appear in this space later this week. It's not 100 things long but that's OK, there's good stuff on it.

16. Take Flash class - DONE I took it and I loved it!

17. Attend live theatre - already seen Let Me Down Easy and In The Next Room, a Ping Chong piece. Saw Reduced Shakespeare with Carmencita & Alita. Saw Glee Club, which was a delight.

18. Mermaid Parade - June

19. Take Alita bowling

20. Composting - I've been doing this. Not every, every, every week but I'm saving the compostables and bringing them when I can. It's not so bad.

21. Lose 10-15lbs  - Yeah, so this has been a month of setbacks on this. I'm at 136 and hoping for the best.


22. Visit Governor's Island


23. Sushi class with Chrome - Bought a coupon but haven't gotten confirmation on it yet, have to work on that.


24. Attend Charlie & Spoon's wedding - That's the Sunday before Memorial Day in Ohio.


25. Write an article to submit to magazines - Making good headway on this as well. It's very emotional, though.
