TO DO LIST

I have a list of things I would like to accomplish in this lifetime.  I'm not sure if I'm working towards any on the list at the moment or if any of then are truly attainable but maybe I should start trying.  It's a pretty long list so I will just list a few for now.

1. Run a Marathon - true, I hate running and I hate to sweat but this will be first to be crossed off my list.  I already have it in mind to do one this year - maybe not a full marathon like the LA Marathon but a 1/2 marathon, that counts, right?  I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna keep pace and they'll have to pick me up on the side of the road but I will train and I will do my best to complete it.
2. Live in a Foreign County - why couldn't I have thought about this before having kids?
3. Visit all 51 States - so far I can cross Texas, California, Nevada, Hawaii, NY, New Jersey and Minnesota off my list - yay!
4. Try every cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory - I probably could have crossed this off my list a long time ago but somehow I tend to order the same cake every time!
5. Learn to Swim - I love going to tropical places to relax but sadly I don't know how to swim!
6. Learn to Ballroom Dance
7. Walk the Great Wall of China
8. Publish a Children's Book - how hard could it be? ABCs and 123s?
9. Take a Road Trip from Coast to Coast - fun, right?  Maybe not with a car load of screaming kids.
10. Have dinner atop the Eiffel Tower
