January is over.  The month for making resolutions, themes and goals for the year is thus complete.  But wait!  I’m not done daydreaming.

If any of you are like me, if you want to keep planning and scheming and dreaming up your adventures for the coming year, then I encourage you to do just that.  It’s not too late to dream the big dreams for 2010!

I was inspired by Ms. Molly over at Stratejoy when she posted her list of 20 Things to Do in 2010.  So I’m joining the fun – I’m making my own list.

First things first, I came up with a few things that I value this year, the things that I want to be able to look back and say, “Yep, that’s the kind of year I had!”

So here they are.  I want my year to be full of adventure, brimming with creativity, seriously healthy and all sorts of connected.

Here’s some insight on how I plan to do it!

———————

Be Healthy:

1. Take an intro lesson at a rock climbing gym
2. Take a cooking class that focuses on preparing healthy meals (bonus points if I get Steven to join me)
3. Learn to do the splits (is this healthy or just an attempt to return to my 3-year old, seriously flexible self?)
4. Master the Experienced Beginners level of my pole dancing class and move on to Intermediate classes
5. Train for and complete a half marathon
6. Make plans to train for a bicycle century (maybe even do it this year!)

Be Connected:

1. Host a dinner party
2. Make successful chocolate soufflés at least once (and share then with someone special)
3. See Bon Jovi in concert with my fun-fabulous friend, Mireya
4. Volunteer with an organization that focuses on women’s issues (Planned Parenthood, perhaps?)

Be Creative:

1. Get a digital SLR camera, and take an intro course in digital photography
2. Create 5 art pieces that I absolutely adore
3. Redesign the In Search of Squid website
4. Complete the final draft of my novel
5. Get an agent!

Be Adventurous:

1. Go skinny dipping
2. Soak in a hot tub in the snow (better get on this one!)
3. Get pictures taken on a beautiful beach in Maui by my favorite photographer
4. Take a trip to a U.S. state that I’ve never been before
5. Take a month long, solo trip out of the country

Looks like I’ve got a busy year ahead of me!  How about you?  What’s on your list this year?
