Friday Five. So it's a couple days late, so sue me.

I forgot to do a Friday Five on Friday. No biggie except it actually looked interesting. :) Don't miss the staggeringly brilliant entry from earlier today.


1. List five things you'd like to accomplish by the end of the year.

By the end of THIS year? Yikes. I'd like to...

• lose 10 more pounds
  
• become less addicted to the computer
  
• get into an exercise regimen
  
• get my house back into a "maintain" mode -- I have a schedule which works brilliantly for this if I will just use it...
  
• read two books I've never read before
  

• Kelly, who was my piano teacher in junior high
  
• Joanna, friend from school who moved to the UK
  

3. List five things you'd like to learn how to do.

• knit
  
• scrapbook (it just feels WRONG that this is used as a verb). I will have to give in eventually.
  
• you know that braid, for hair, that looks like a rope? I'd like to be able to do the fancy French version of that in my own hair.
  
• I'd like to learn sign language, for fun
  
• Does it count that I'd like to take CPA classes and/or nursing classes? It'll have to, I can't think of anything else
  

4. List five things you'd do if you won the lottery (no limit).

• Build a decent house in the middle of a large piece of property, so as to keep subdivisions at least that far away from my home no matter what happened to the parcels around ours
  
• Have my husband retire at age 33
  
• give a lot of it to various charities and our local library
  
• set up a fund for families of sick children so that they could spend less time stressing about money and more time dealing with more serious problems and enjoying their children
  
• never have health insurance again. Never ever ever.
  

5. List five things you do that help you relax.

• read
  
• take a hot shower
  
• read
  
• vege at the computer
  
• read
