1. Go to a drive-in movie. Sunshine and I have been wanting to go to a drive-in movie for awhile now, but a combination of bad timing and bad movies always seem to get in the way. We’re going to make it happen this year, though. There are simply too few drive-in theatres around and too much fun to be had. For anybody who hasn’t been to a drive-in movie…you’re totally missing out.
2. Spend some time on Prince Edward Island. Sunshine is tentatively scheduled to run a half-marathon in the fall on PEI. What I would love to do is spend a weekend there…enjoying the sights and sounds of the beautiful island. I haven’t been there in a few years, when my parents took my daughter and I to PEI for a week’s vacation. There are a ton of pics from that trip, but I think they’re all on my previous blog. If anybody’s even slightly interested, I can create a post to show them off.
3. Reach my weight-loss goal of 200lbs. I’m below 230lbs for the first time in I don’t know HOW long, and I feel like I’ve gone over a small hurdle in my life. I’m fighting a daily battle against junk food, and all I want to do is get to a point where I can look in the mirror and not feel repulsed. I know I can do it and I feel like I can win this particular battle. Can I reach 200lbs? I honestly don’t know…but I’m on my way to finding out.
4. Finish reading The Lost Symbol. LOL…I’ve had this book for almost two years now. Sunshine gave it to me as a gift for Christmas (because I asked for it) and I’m still not even half-way through it. And what’s worse is that I actually LIKE the book. Not sure why I haven’t just taken the time to sit down and read the rest of it…I guess I’ve never been a “sit down and read” kind of guy. But I want to do it…so I’m going to do it. No more excuses.
5. Finish decorating my house. I moved into this house back in December and to be completely honest, I’m not loving it. I haven’t had the inclination or the time (or the money) to change the place to make it look like I want it to look. But I want to…I’m going to be here for awhile so I need to accept it and make it my own. Would I like a “woman’s touch”? Probably…but I need to grow up and decorate it in a way that says “ME”.
6. Buy a new camera. I’m not a greedy guy. I’m not looking for a $1,000 professional camera here. I just need to save up a couple hundred (maybe a little less) and find a solid digital camera on eBay. My dad recently bought one for Sunshine because I dropped hers on a cobblestone street in San Juan, Puerto Rico back in March. She’s been using my crappy little Kodak camera in the meantime. The camera dad bought for her is pretty nice, I gotta say…and I really want to try to save up enough money to buy one myself.
7. Get a family portrait with ALL of our kids in one spot. With Rugrat tentatively sheduled to come visit the second week of August, that means both Sunshine and I will have that entire week off to spend together with all of our kids. It will definitely be hectic, but I think it’ll also be a blast. BUt something I definitely want is to have a picture with all of us together…and one done professionally. Last summer my ex-wife took a picture of all of us together and it wasn’t quite the masterpiece I wanted, so hopefully we can get ‘er done this summer.
8. Become a better blogger. I’ve lost a bit of inspiration over the past few months since mom passed away, but I know that I love to write and want to continue writing. I also know that I’m pretty decent at what I do and if I really apply myself I can become the blogger I’ve always wanted to become. In addition, I keep putting off my “Guilty Pleasures” blog…something that I started but haven’t continued. I want to because I think it would be fun. I just need to stop procrastinating and being lazy and jumping into it head first. I think I’d really love what I end up creating.
9. Enjoy life…especially the life I live and how I live it. One of the things I’ve been working on recently is trying to love myself. As difficult as that has been, it’s also helped me to remember how much I enjoy living life. Is my life perfect? Not by any stretch. But it’s a good enough life that I don’t’ want to take it for granted. It’s funny…this past weekend I told Sunshine that sometimes I don’t feel like she “stops to smell the roses” and enjoy what’s around her. It’s definitely advice that I need to consider for myself.
10. Smile every day. It’s easy. It’s fun. It can make someone else’s day without you even realizing it. There is ALWAYS a reason to smile at least once during the course of every single day. My task…heck, my personal mission…is to never forget that.
June 28th, 2011 at 9:05 am
I have been thinking about this for a long time but didn’t want to seem presumptuous that you’d want it done but now that I know it is I’m throwing it out there…I’d love to offer you and Sunshine a complimentary family photoshoot to capture some special memories as I know how difficult being apart is for you two. Having some special photos of you all together, the two of you together and some shots of each of you with your kids as well as some individual portraits would be so much fun. Maybe a beach or a park…we can figure out particulars later. I just wanted to let you know I’d be happy to do this for you and help you cross an item off your list and consider it a great opportunity to “pay it forward”
Tammi (aka @WindsweptCoast)
June 28th, 2011 at 7:41 pm
Wow…that’s really awesome of you to offer, Tammi! Of course I’d love to take you up on your offer! Thanks so much!!
June 28th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Ditto, yes!! That would be so fantastic. Thank you so much for your generous offer, Tammi. Wow.
June 28th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
Yay! It would be my absolute pleasure
June 28th, 2011 at 9:45 am
A little bit of paint and a few garage sales will fix that house right up, CBG. You’ll make it yours. You just gotta find your mojo… or something that inspires you. You might even find a camera at a garage sale and start taking some pics that inspire you to fill a room with your own art!
I hear you on the lost inspiration re: blogging too. I think it must be normal or so many of us wouldn’t feel it, right?
Also, that you said Sunshine needs to “stop and smell the roses”? We usually notice things that we feel ourselves so… yeah, you were probably giving yourself some advice there too.
Have you tried to start a gratitude journal of some sort? It’s tough to get started but it does change your perspective.
Much love.
June 28th, 2011 at 7:42 pm
A gratitude journal, eh? Hmmmm…sounds interesting. Let me think about that one.
And yes, I normally give out advice that I could definitely use myself. I’ve caught myself doing it, too.
June 28th, 2011 at 7:50 pm
FYI, I keep a gratitude journal. I don’t necessarily write in it every single day, but I make an effort to write in it several times a week. And you know what? It really does help.
June 28th, 2011 at 10:20 am
I love your list! This is a great way to ‘re-set’ your mind moving into the second half of 2011 and make it as good as you possibly can. I like T’s idea of a gratitude journal, or even just a list of things you want to enjoy each day. I have a blog friend that started a daily ‘to enjoy’ list and it could be as simple as ‘eating dinner on the patio’ or something like that, and just enjoying a few little moments each day. I’ve started doing it too and it really does wonders. You are doing great (congrats on the weight loss!).
June 28th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
Ooohh…an “enjoy” list? I like the sounds of that, too. Good idea!
June 28th, 2011 at 3:57 pm
Great post man. Haven’t even thought about being half way through with the year already, that’s kind of scary.
Now I’ve got to add “think about what I want to do with the rest of the year” to my list. Only problem is, the list is already so long, that task probably wont be accomplished until next year. Oh well.
June 28th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
Yeah…the first half of the year has flown right on by. It’s been eventful on my end of things, that’s for sure.
And hey…as long as you actually have a list, that’s half the battle.
June 29th, 2011 at 11:07 am
I’d love to go to a drive-in… They’re few and far between in the UK though!
Nice post, congratulations on being freshly pressed.
July 1st, 2011 at 7:12 am
They’re few and far between here, too…but there are three or four within a four-hour drive from me. So the key is to make a special night of it.
I think Sunshine and I are planning on checking out a drive-in movie next Friday night. We’ll see how it goes.
June 29th, 2011 at 11:09 am
I like this list because it’s realistic, but still challenging. Congrats on being Freshly Pressed.
June 29th, 2011 at 11:20 am
Beautiful, yet funny post! I think your point on smiling and enjoying life more is so true and inspires me to do it myself!
Congrats on making FP!
June 29th, 2011 at 11:27 am
This is a great list! I have to admit…I’ve been all over Canada, and yet still haven’t been to PEI. Isn’t that ridiculous??
Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed!
July 1st, 2011 at 7:13 am
I’ve been to PEI many times…primarily because it’s so close to where I live. It’s a beautiful province, especially in the summertime.
I’ve never been west of Toronto and that’s something I definitely want to remedy at some point.
June 29th, 2011 at 11:28 am
Well, #8 is on its way — at least, a more popular blogger…
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed. And best of luck with these great goals.
June 29th, 2011 at 11:36 am
I can’t believe I’m not the only one who like The Lost Symbol but still haven’t finished reading it yet..LOL. I’ve finished three fifth of the book by the way.
July 1st, 2011 at 7:13 am
Good…now I don’t feel so bad.
June 29th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
You are so sweet! I hope being Freshly Pressed inspires you to continue blogging more often!
June 29th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
#7 is really hard to do. It’s been on my list for years but I can never seem to get everybody together in the same place at the same time! Perhaps I should bribe my family?????
June 29th, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Love your list! I’m an avid reader, but I’m afraid I have a few of those “lost symbol” kinds of books hanging out by my bed. Great goals–
And congrats on Freshly Presed!
Kathy
June 29th, 2011 at 12:25 pm
Love This Article!
GREAT!
June 29th, 2011 at 12:25 pm
I like #9 and think that accomplishing that will bring you to #10, too.
Cheers & congrats … you’re fresh pressed
MJ
June 29th, 2011 at 12:30 pm
200 pounds? OMG.
June 29th, 2011 at 12:57 pm
i think your weight is normal. You havent weight-loss
and i want to finish Lost Symbol too
June 29th, 2011 at 1:00 pm
Loved the post, and you’re right nothing really trumps a good drive in movie!!
June 29th, 2011 at 1:44 pm
Sometimes we spend much time thinking about the problems or all the bad things that happen along the day, the life is one and we have to enjoy without limits. the happiness, smile and the love, are things that have to give in excess because never are enough!
“Give all your love, make everything with love and get all the love that comes”
June 29th, 2011 at 1:49 pm
Congrats on freshly pressed. I really like your list…has gotten me thinking about the rest of this year. Time to take stock. Best wishes on achieving a list of great goals.
June 29th, 2011 at 1:57 pm
Those are some good things to do excellent goals. They actually have a few places around with drive in movies still.
June 29th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
Great goals to have! I hope you reach them
June 29th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
This is such a great (and inspiring!!) list. Congrats on making it onto Freshly Pressed…I definitely loved reading your take on the world and I’ll be back to check out more posts for sure!

I love drive in movies but, sadly, the closest one to me closed a few years ago. I think the next closest is over 50 miles away. I remember the last movie I saw in a drive in, it was Independence Day. Wish there were some closer
July 1st, 2011 at 7:15 am
That would have been a blast to see at a drive-in. And yeah…that movie was quite a few years ago.
June 29th, 2011 at 2:31 pm
Good luck on your endeavours! Especially number 10. I hope that this year is all you want it to be.
June 29th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
Wow… thanks for reminding me about my target of 2011.
The drive-in theater is also my long time never done task.
Losing weight, reading more books, doing more good blogs…. all are my targets too.
Wish both of us good luck. I believe that we can do it.
June 29th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
A smile can be such an amazing gift to others and yourself. You’ll accomplish your list, I just know it!
June 29th, 2011 at 4:03 pm
Great blog! I will definitely be adding a drive-in movie to my life list.
June 29th, 2011 at 4:04 pm
Great list. I never thought about making a ‘before the end of the year’ to do list. You’ve inspired me.
June 29th, 2011 at 4:19 pm
good luck accomplishing these things!
June 29th, 2011 at 4:58 pm
Great list. Good luck!
June 29th, 2011 at 5:03 pm
Drive-In Theatres are awesome!! There’s one only 45 min. from where I live and my family has been going since I was a kid. Now my sister and I take friends (since we can drive). We go at least 3 times a summer if not more. I can’t this summer because I’m abroad, but I love it and can’t wait till next summer.
Also, PEI is fabulous. It’s been a few years since I’ve been, but I loved it.
June 29th, 2011 at 5:26 pm
We all need to smile more every day!
Nice list.
June 29th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
Boy, I really miss drive-in movies. We have none where I live and I figure my grand kids are going to grow up not even knowing what they are.
June 29th, 2011 at 6:28 pm
Really insightful! I love numbers 9 and 10 especially. Keep it up and thanks for sharing your honest, candid, and true self with the blogging world. Cheers
June 29th, 2011 at 6:48 pm
love this list! like you, i’m trying to smile everyday, i bought a new camera, i decorated my apartment just the way i wanted, and i have plans to attend a drive-in
good luck!
June 29th, 2011 at 9:32 pm
Re. your #10, one thing I do every day is post about an event that caused me to smile; I’ve been doing this since Sept 2010. So if one day you’re in need of a smile, you can check out my blog if you’d like; I’d be honored.
http://smilekiddo.wordpress.com/
July 1st, 2011 at 7:18 am
Y’know…I might just do that. There’s certainly nothing wrong with wanting to find a reason to smile each day.
June 29th, 2011 at 10:29 pm
http://thefightforlove.wordpress.com/
Dude I totally relate with you on number eight because I am new to this.
June 29th, 2011 at 10:35 pm
What a great list, and most of them I wish I can do for myself as well. congrats!
June 29th, 2011 at 10:57 pm
Drive in movies during the summer are awesome! I highly reccommend doing that one ASAP! We went in high school a lot and would bring snacks, blankets, and beverages.
You should add volunteering to your list! That always makes you feel good!
June 29th, 2011 at 11:40 pm
You have inspired me to create a list for myself! Thank you!
June 30th, 2011 at 12:17 am
I really believe that 2012 is the end of our world. All the things we should do is cherish everyday and finish what you want to do. Thank you for your sharing!
July 1st, 2011 at 7:19 am
Well…if 2012 is the end of our world then I better start working on my Bucket List, too!!
http://iusedtohavehair.com/2010/11/02/my-bucket-list/

Great List!
June 30th, 2011 at 12:31 am
very inspiring!
June 30th, 2011 at 1:08 am
Nice blog. I’m with your on Item 4. I have the book, I barely past the first chapter. I love the book and all the previous books which I finished in a flash. But I am clueless why I’m just not picking up The Lost Symbol.
Hope it get it done before 2012 too…
All the best to you! Cheerios!
June 30th, 2011 at 1:11 am
It’s ok, we just started the 2nd half of 2011. Still lots of time to do it!
June 30th, 2011 at 1:12 am
Wow! The picture of the drive-in you posted is the same one I knew and loved as a teenager growing up in the Valley (I’d recognize it anywhere with the runway in Waterville lit up in the background).
Thanks for the memories and good luck on your list!
July 1st, 2011 at 7:20 am
I chose that picture because that’s probably the drive-in that Sunshine and I will be going to…hopefully next Friday night.
I actually lived in New Minas for awhile before moving around the Maritimes. Love visiting the Valley…great spot.
June 30th, 2011 at 1:12 am
I loved The Lost Symbol!! Just finish it!
June 30th, 2011 at 1:12 am
this is Inspired to me.thanks
June 30th, 2011 at 3:54 am
You haven’t finished ‘The Lost Symbol’ yet? Well, I’ve been meaning to finish that book too, but I haven’t gotten myself a copy just yet! LOL. I think I will really like the book; I just don’t have the time to head to the bookstore and buy it.
The whole family portrait thing has been on our family’s to do list for quite a while actually, and finally, we got to do it this summer!
Good luck on finishing everything on this list! I know you can and will find the heart to do all of ‘em!
June 30th, 2011 at 4:28 am
I created a list of my own back in 2009 and glad i fulfilled each wish of mine.You have inspired me in making a list again! Please do capture each moment and post here when you fulfill it!
June 30th, 2011 at 5:45 am
wow… i never thinking so much. But really great post!
June 30th, 2011 at 5:48 am
Except for the prince edward island, our lists are the same! I didn’t bother converting lbs to kilos but I think we’re in the same ball park….. Great posting! Cheers.

June 30th, 2011 at 8:58 am
Interesting entry here. I must say I truly enjoyed reading it. Came across your blog by clicking on a title that took me here. Glad I click it. I havent realize half of the yr is gone. I need to make me a To Do List to get what I need to be done. Continue doing what you doing, and I hope you do keep up posted as well.
June 30th, 2011 at 9:28 am
Lovely!!!
June 30th, 2011 at 9:31 am
it is so sweet..:)..i really hope you accomplish all of the above..:)
June 30th, 2011 at 10:01 am
Get a Canon Rebel. I bought one before my trip to Alaska last year… so user friendly and best $480 I have ever spent. Took AMAZING photos.
July 1st, 2011 at 7:22 am
Not sure if a Rebel is within my budget, but I’m definitely looking at getting a Canon as my next camera.
June 30th, 2011 at 11:08 am
Love this article. Inspired me to create my own 10 things to do before 2011 ends. Thanks!
June 30th, 2011 at 11:43 am
Really liked your post, Its made me think about what i want to achieve/complete by the end of the year. Hope you get all your things done. Love the pics btw.
June 30th, 2011 at 11:57 am
Love the picture of the bald head at the top of you blog.
Seems like #5 never ends for me, I am always wanting to change something, or update something. I have been working on that one for years.
July 1st, 2011 at 7:23 am
That bald head is mine!
June 30th, 2011 at 12:33 pm
Great list!
June 30th, 2011 at 1:03 pm
2, 6, 8,9 and 10. Agreed! Especially #2 as a huge Anne of Green Gables fan I have always wanted to visit Prince Edward Island.
July 1st, 2011 at 7:24 am
It’s funny…I’ve grown up living right next to PEI and even after the multiple times I’ve visited, I still have no clue what “Anne of Green Gables” is about. Never read the books or watched any of the television specials.
June 30th, 2011 at 1:59 pm
1,2, 6, 8, 9, 10…totally with you! as for a camera…have you tried craigslist? I live in NYC…that’s where I go for gear
July 1st, 2011 at 7:25 am
My dad recently got a pretty decent Canon on eBay…so that’s probably where I’m going to begin my search.
June 30th, 2011 at 2:30 pm
love your list! keep going
June 30th, 2011 at 3:02 pm
Good luck with your list… this is a really nice looking blog and blog post, btw!
June 30th, 2011 at 3:49 pm
Hold on! Just do it!
… now I have to think about my own list of things to do this year. I hope my list won’t become too big
.
June 30th, 2011 at 4:13 pm
great list! i definitely relate to number 9. good stuff!!
June 30th, 2011 at 6:02 pm
Great goals! I’m a list maker too. Hope your camera search is going well.
June 30th, 2011 at 6:44 pm
When you said about wanting to be a better blogger, I’ve just started blogging, and today I had this E-mailed to me. I thought it was interesting; maybe you will too:
http://www.incourage.me/2011/06/a-writers-workshop-at-9pm-est-tonight-just-for-you.html
June 30th, 2011 at 8:37 pm
Hello, I really really would like you to achieve your goals. I will send lots of positive energy for this to become real!! It is ONLY up to you, nobody in this planet can make them for you. All the best! Fariddy
June 30th, 2011 at 8:54 pm
I can totally relate to having To Do lists because I find that when you put stuff down on paper, you usually get around to doing those things. It’s weird… it’s like it’s now official.
For me this year, I only have one goal for myself… to get my novel published.
July 1st, 2011 at 7:26 am
Hope you get that novel posted. Keep working towards that goal…you’ll get there!
June 30th, 2011 at 11:02 pm
Great list, very manageable goals and I hope you achieve them all! I’m thinking of buying a new camera too, I want to get into the dslr cameras and have been thinking about the Nikon D3100, not sure if you’ve heard of that one? It’s supposedly good for beginners, which is reassuring to me because I don’t want to be overwhelmed.
And I don’t think I’ve been to a drive-in movie before but that definitely sounds like something fun to try! Take care!
July 1st, 2011 at 7:27 am
I think Nikon’s are probably out of my price range at the moment. But yeah…they’re some of the best cameras around.
Never been to a drive-in? That’s a shame. They can be great fun.
June 30th, 2011 at 11:17 pm
Love it… I share with you some of your points
July 1st, 2011 at 1:00 am
Drive-in movie sounds good. I think I’ll do that too.
July 1st, 2011 at 1:24 am
Maybe I need post the 10 things of my in my blog too.
July 1st, 2011 at 1:26 am
perfect list, i wish you can finish all what you want to do!
maybe, i need some lists like this list. i always fail to do the things that i want to do.
July 1st, 2011 at 2:39 am
this list is really good. short-term and you can realize the rewards immediately. I have started on 101 things to do in 1001 days via the Day Zero Project in 2010 and i have achieved almost of them already that i started another one which I havent completed the whole 101 yet.
Good luck!!
July 1st, 2011 at 2:42 am
You can definitely lose the weight. You’ve got it! Congrats on reaching your hurdle spot. That’s huge
I can relate to that feeling of “finally” *sighofrelief* for reaching a weight you haven’t seen in a long time. Also, bringing back up the notion of a gratitude journal, I struggle a lot with being joyful. So for a while, I would carry around a tiny notepad, and whenever something small/stupid would make me upset, I’d just start listing all sorts of things that I had to be grateful for…it usually took less than 3 minutes to change my perspective hahaha AMAZING
July 1st, 2011 at 5:33 am
good points, i hope you will complete this list. i thing the last point is the most important! Everyday, when i wake up, i’m smiling to my fiance, to comunicate him, that i’m hapy to be awake in this time, in this place. and to remember to myself that life is short and i should enjoy every moment.
in chemical aspect, smiling is also very importatn. when you tense face muscle, your body release the endorphine to your brain. so our mood automatically become better.
so keep on smiling
July 1st, 2011 at 7:28 am
That is one I think I’ll have the easiest time doing. Thanks!
July 1st, 2011 at 6:32 am

I wanna do most of those things to, especially Price Edward Island! But I would forgo the Dan Brown book, bit of a waste of time

Sure I should create the same list myself. Your point 10 will be the first point in my list I think
It’s really very important to smile every day)

amazing wish list hope you are able to achieve all your goals

That’s a very nice list. Good luck!

This is an excellent post, and number 10 is a must for everybody. I hope that you can achieve all of these by the end of the year. I have made a similar commitment on my blog called Project 101. Some things are easier than others to achieve, but if we want them enough we will work at them no matter the pace. Good luck!

Haha, 8 and 10 are my favorite!
July 8th, 2011 at 7:06 am
These sound like great, realistic goals! I am sure you will reach them all! Good luck!

You definitely need to do the drive-in — but also head west of Toronto. One of the coolest possible moments for a Canadian (or any traveler) is to fly across Canada and, after crossing the Rockies, know that Vancouver, the Pacific and the almost-end of Canada are soon to come into view. I get excited every time!
I plan to blog soon with some fun decorating tips, so hope you’ll stop by.

I would LOVE to fly out and visit Vancouver some day. Even driving across the country is on my bucket list, so it’s something I really want to do eventually.

Completely agree with nos. nine and ten. I think everybody should make those there resolutions.

Have lists worked in the past for you. Would love to know from others as well if this is a good idea – creating a list of achievements you want to accomplish?

So far, so good.
I find that when I write down goals, they become more realistic and attainable.
Best of luck to you!

I live near a drive-in and I have that very same goal this summer. The Lost Symbol is amazing! I want a professional camera as well. Your post is great! Thanks for sharing and inspiring.:) Keep writing!
