Friday Five

Lots of fives this week:

1. List five things you'd like to accomplish by the end of the year.
Sell the house. Finish knitting everybody's Christmas presents (optimistic, aren't I?). Lose 10 pounds. Be out of oral pain. Be ready to move to Wisconsin.

2. List five people you've lost contact with that you'd like to hear from again.
My best high-school friend Amy (whose turn was it to call this time?). My playgroup friend Betsy. My old college theory professor Dr. Crotty. My freshman-year roommate Danielle. Another old college friend Dan.

3. List five things you'd like to learn how to do.
Sew with a machine. Speak Gaelic. Be more fiscally responsible. Be a better (healthy) cook. Do basic car maintenance.

4. List five things you'd do if you won the lottery (no limit).
This, I'll compile into one large, five-faceted dream. I'd build a huge, pod-style house (probably in this geographical region, because Alysia wouldn't want to move), and I'd move Eric's and my families up to be with us (each in their own pod); Alysia and Steve could live with us, too, and we could always make more pods for anybody else who wanted to join our "commune." Nobody would have to work anymore unless they wanted to do so. We could have our own homeschooling, positive parenting cooperative, and money would never be an issue again!

I don't think I hit five things there, actually. Well, I'd give to the church first, and I'd probably throw some in the direction of my colleges.

5. List five things you do that help you relax.
Knitting. Quiet cuddles with Sam. Hanging out with good friends. Indian food. Sitting with a book in a coffee shop at the end of a long day after Sam's asleep.
