#28 can only be reasoned by the fact that I have a child who was recently teething and then immediately ill (he is better now and has 4 shiny new molars to show for it). This has led to more sleep deprivation for everyone, except the kitties. In the last 18 months I've gotten about 3-4 months of regular sleep. Those sweet times always came after we did some sleep training, will it ever end? It can't all be blamed on the baby though. We travel a lot, which throws off the regular schedule. And I'm a night owl and that just doesn't jive with a child who wakes between 6-7am everyday. Even Saturdays! Alas, I signed on for this sleeplessness, but I can still dream.
- Travel to 6 of the 7 continents. Let's be honest, Antarctica is a long shot. So far I've been to North America (Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica) and Europe (France).
- Spend time practicing yoga at an ashram in India, with my brother.
- Join a choral group and sing with them regularly.
- Tour all 50 states in an RV.

- Take ballroom dancing classes so I can ballroom dance for fun.
- Travel to a far away destination by boat.
- To be exceedingly generous to my family and friends.

Porter got my old baby doll stroller today and we took it for a test drive. Turns out, it was a little un-wieldy and veered to the left.
