In no particular order......

Really good idea, Honey. If we write them down it's much more likely our goals or otherwise will get done, we've made it concrete, or "real" to ourselves that much more. Good luck, your list looks fun and rewarding!

On the fundraising bit--good fundraisers that I know of are:

ethnic dinners with entertainment, presuming you have someone or a group of people who can donate the food and entertainment of course (our church has done both a Swiss-German dinner with an accordionist and a Phillipino dinner with native dancers afterwards)

raffles

silent auctions

"angels"--you have a lot of angels made up, either paper mache, wooden, what have you, and give those to people who make a $5 or more donation. You could make these anything of course, not just angels. You could do cute cows, sheep, bunnies, dolls, whatever.

Things I'd like to do before I'm 40 (this is only six years away, Holy Cow!)

*conquer the eating disorder
*have two more kids (haven't told DH about this one yet, somewhere along the line I changed my mind from wanting two kids to wanting three, what's come over me?!)
*have a "real" family vacation that's just for us, preferably at a beach
*make a blanket for Project Linus, an afghan for Warm Up America, and a nicer hat for ChemoCaps than the one I made last year (a trainwreck).
*get me one of the TNH tshirts

This is neat and I will do it later when I have to mull it over. Would love to hear others!

40 is only a bit over a year away for me, so I'd better get cracking!

Run a full marathon in under 5 hours.

Get a tatoo of the Chinese symbol for peace on my hip.

Figure out a way to make a new, positive relationship with DS15.75

Read the first four Little House books out loud to DD5.

Figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life. (Do I go back to teaching in some form? What form? Do I continue being at home/the office and learn how to slow down and be in the moment? Do I go back to school? ...)

Go visit my sisters in Chicago and Wisconsin. Never been to either one's house!

Get a mammogram.

Finally (after 14 years!) finish the landscaping at my house.

Do something special with just DS14. The poor kids seems to always be caught in between, and he's just so good natured and mellow. I don't want him to feel overlooked because of all the attention his high-maintenece siblings require.

Convince DH to get rid of the piano his grandfather restored, but no longer works, and get one I can play. I really miss it.

Learn how to say no. And mean it. And stick to it. And let the "If you don't do it, no one will" guilt go.

There! That should keep me busy.
