Wednesday List: Ten Things in 2010





1A: Increase fabulosity through reading newspapers while wearing monocles. Via All Things Amazing.



We're over halfway through the year already! I should make some hackneyed comment here about how quickly the year has passed. Or perhaps some snide self-referential comment instead?

1. Pay back credit card debt. I am doing infinitely better with this - as witnessed by my new found enthusiasm for getting out of debt. I just need to keep up my enthusiasm for this - it's the lulls in enthusiasm (and subsequent urge to spend a crapload of money) that will work against me here. Self control, be mine.

2. Learn to hula hoop. 
3. Learn to spin. 

4. Make a decision about returning to study and prepare myself to start in 2011. I am filling out and posting away enrollment forms this week - and I'm beginning to feel really excited about getting back to study. I can't wait to learn things and be challenged. I am less excited about the poverty, but hey-ho.

5. Learn how to wear contact lenses. I'm choosing to strike this, as this was important for derby but is in no way a necessity otherwise - merely, an expense. I'll put it down as something to look into again when I'm in better control of my finances.



6. Go to Camp a Low Hum and have a really super fab time. 

7. Go to Blood and Thunder Camp and learn heaps and use my awesome and newly found skating skills to score twenty points for my team in the next bout. 


8. Make a budget and stick to it. I've made the budget, and it's only been a fortnight but I'm stoked with how I've done so far! There is no doubt that this is an ongoing project, but one that I'm happy to have ongoing.

9. Get the tattoo I've been talking about getting for five years. 

10. Unclutter my life and maintain a clutterless environment. The last few weeks I've had a kind of breakthrough regarding this concept. I had an idea about what this meant when I drafted it out, but I seem to have vagued on the precise meaning I ascribed to it six months ago. Lately circumstances have brought about situations where I've needed to do some mental as well as some physical uncluttering, and I'm stoked to see that I didn't even second guess myself - the uncluttering happened without a second thought. There is nothing like the feeling of being on top of things, and choosing what and who you have in your life. Control, darlings. It's awesome.

So to conclude: I have three items on this list that are ongoing projects, and three items that I've struck through as no longer a priority or possible given my financial situation. I'm thinking I shall draft up new list of ten... A project for next month?
