This week has been both good (Christmas decorating and seeing my Dad’s play) and bad. On Tuesday I tripped up our front door step and busted the knee I dislocated a few years ago. The nurse (yup, I had to see a nurse) gave me a whole bunch of ice packs, bandaged it up for support and told me to rest for 2 days. It’s still feeling pretty crappy but no way was I missing my Christmas meal today so I headed back to work. And it was totally worth it.
So this week, I’m doing something a little different to my usual Friday’s Things to Smile About. Over the last couple of weeks I’ve been thinking a lot about 2011 and what it might hold. I’ve been inspired by the oh-so-cool Elsie over at A Beautiful Mess and her 28 before 29 birthday list, so have written a list of everything I’d like to try and achieve over the next year. My 10 for 2011. I figure that if I write a nice long list I’m bound to achieve a couple.
Some of these will be easy. Some will take a bit more work (or guts, when it comes to the haircut). But I like to have something to aim for.
you're brave!

Oh i think I want to do the same! I love your list :) Especially the "make a quilt" for the 1st year of your marriage <3 and "bring back a regular date night" (can you tell I'm a hopeless romantic? hehee) And the pilates goal...I'm with you on that one!
ReplyDeleteYour whole blog is a breath of fresh air :) I love your devotion to you marriage and how you know it's the little things that make it amazing <3 Glad we fond each other! :)
PS - i adore your stockings
This is a wonderful list, and I'm inspired to write my own! Your last to do about a more regular date night made me giggle-we just agreed we should have one, too!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your knee. Visit London during Christmas, it's so lovely!
ReplyDeleteyikes about the knee!!! take care of that - you will need those knees when you are old!!
ReplyDeletesecond of all - i love your list idea and will be following suit :-)
Ouchy for the knee! I have bad knees too (they stiffen up and 'crack') but I've never dislocated either. I imagine that hurts like hell. Hope you get to rest it over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe list is a good idea! It's nice to have some goals, no matter how small they are.
Have a great weekend - off the knee!
Ohhh lovely list! *s*

Oh, Poor Nell's knee, that sounds awful. I do like your list though. Sounds achievable and fun. x

ReplyDeletesoory about the knee.
ReplyDeletebut funny about your list, i was out at lunch today and someone mentioned their bucket list which got me thinking, should i make a list of things i want to do?
I like your list. The hair is definitely a biggie. :) I spent the majority of my life trying to "grow" mine, and now that it's finally "long" I think about cutting it. Crazy!
ReplyDeleteI made a list of 10 for 2010. I wonder if I achieved all 10. I better hurry and check it. I only have a few days left to get them all done.
good luck with your list!
