To-Do Before I'm 25 (as of 1/13/08)

Jaime's New Year's Resolutions for Jess

This weekend, Jaime and I each wrote up New Years Resolutions for each other on index cards. Here were some of his for me... a bit tactical, I thought, but very sweet.

I'd also be interested to hear what his more aspirational resolutions would be for me -- what does he think I could do to be happier, better, more me, more satisfied, more serene this year?

Things I want to spend time on in Cambodia

-- motorcycling
-- sewing/ clothing design
-- guitar
-- language
-- yoga/meditation
-- writing (book, poetry, short stories, letters, daily journal)
-- cooking
-- dancing
-- HTML
-- other travel
-- photography
-- reading/research
-- grad school Apps

And for more:
-- spirituality
-- finding my FOCUS
-- hanging out with kids

Week One in the new apartment.

So this has been an eventful couple of weeks full of many firsts:

-- Moving into my own apartment
-- Selling something on Craigslist
-- Cliff House at 6 in the morning to watch the waves
-- Finding the fuse box and turning the lights back on
-- Unclogging a toilet
-- Tegan & Sara concert at Zellerbach Hall
-- "Fondue" by candlelight
-- Early morning run by Dolores Park

And just plain fun stuff:

-- Perfect green tea & finding my keys at the Irish pub
-- Dinner at Bissap Baobob & crazy dance party at Bruno's
-- Coffee & shopping with Sara in the Haight
-- Gabriela, Clove & Cinnamon
-- Apartment decorating spree: Pier One, Target, the Container Store...
-- Olafur Eliasson exhibit

Things that I'm happy thinking about:

-- **Buying the ticket to Cambodia**
-- Building my apartment platform
-- Finding/taking motorcycle lessons
-- Picking up more library books from on-hold
-- Buying fun Christmas presents
-- Organizing my closet
-- Getting a coffee pot
