Listography: 52 Things in 2011

I was reaching for creativity, but practicality snuck in too, so this list is a mix of the good, the annoying, and the scary, in no apparent order. All things I'd love to do/get done/try this year. If I actually manage to get any of them done, there's a good chance I'll bore you with the details.

1. Find a snow hat that I actually want to wear and that does not make me look like a man.
2. Take a photography class.
3. Read 12 books (one per month - this one is a gimme, I hope).
4. Plant an herb garden.
5. Go the Science Centre.
6. Print and frame photo of Nanny R.
7. Make a chore schedule.
8. Get a massage. Or two.
9. Create an emergency kit for the truck.
10. Put up Caleb's wall word.
11. Print and hang photos.
12. Order and install door for basement.
13. Photograph sunrise on Lake McDonald.
14. Call my family once a week.
15. Organize the dreaded pantry.
16. Make a Blurb book of Glacier Park photos.
17. Make a Blurb book of Italy photos.
18. Make a Blurb book of Christmas 2010 photos.
19. Make a Blurb book of 2010 photos (I will be keeping Blurb in business, if this works out).
20. Make some art work for my office space.
21. Donate blood.
22. Visit Yellowstone Park and see Old Faithful (have done, but not with camera or kids).
23. Photo-a-day of Caleb in March.
24. Photo-a-day of Sadie in May.
25. Get a MAC makeover.
26. Make kitchen art.
27. Get a real Christmas tree.
28. Do a fun Q/A with Sadie.
29. Focus on encouragement.
30. Find a work desk.
31. Buy a new swimsuit. Ugh.
32. Photograph a stranger (but not one in a swimsuit). Scary.
33. Sew something fabric-y.
34. Photograph a line of wash (something I've always wanted to shoot).
35. Photograph Sadie with a bunch of balloons (something else I've always wanted to shoot).
36. Find a new kitchen table (so we can invite people over and no one has to sit on the floor).
37. Organize the dreaded hall closet.
38. Photograph the family all together at least once a month.
39. Frame Sadie's postcard.
40. Put up real curtains in our bedroom.
41. Make some pickles. 
42. Finish my Dad's Christmas gift.
43. Get the next one ready BEFORE Christmas.
44. Fly a kite.
45. Go to the movies. Just Derrick and me.
46. Go on a hike. With kids.
47. Go snowshoeing. With kids.
48. Send birthday cards to my family.
49. Finish painting the bedroom patches (fun, fun, fun).
50. Put Sadie in swim lessons.
51. Start a collection.
52. Plan a date night every week.

I love the idea of having a massage and a MAC makeover. Two things I would really like to do too! Also, the idea of taking a photo a day of one specific kid is really cool too!
