3.  Plant a small herb/flower garden to hang off my deck Ughh, this has stalled
4. Take the kids to the beach for the day
5. Take the kids to the Children's Museum.  Yes, we went a week or two ago.  It was lots of fun, and with them constantly adding new things (at least it seems like that when we go seldom) the kids had a lot of fun.
6. Partake in the "free movie days" at the local theater
7. Lose, at least, 20 lbs.  I am finally on track, and I can honestly say I may actually do it!

11. Organize the garage for my husband, so he can do his beloved wood working YUP!   DID IT --- and now it is destroyed again.
12. Learn how to use my sewing machine in above stated "newly organized" craft room
