Oh, team, we care crossing stuff off like gangbusters. Let’s celebrate together. Three cheers for:
Ashely from High Brow, who kicked off a reading series. “I knew a reading series would be a ton of work, but I never imagined it would really feel like a mini version of making a movie.”
Lauren from I’m Better in Real Life is working in the writing industry. “This was something I figured would be marked off 10?20 years? down the road.”
Sara of Fight for Joie acquired a Dyson. “This year is going to be so clean.”
What about you? Have you been working on anything to move your life toward awesome? Tell us. Tell us!

I am 17 months into my 38 month “pay off all debt except for my mortgage” plan; I’ve gotten to the bottom of this stupid insomnia and am getting treatment; I finally sought treatment for my chronic depression (and it’s helping!); I took my mom and daughter on a mini-vacation to Seattle; I made some major home improvements to my drafty little house, and now have a cozy little house.

Nice, Sheryl! Financial stuff is so stressful. Maybe as the debt lifts, some of the insomnia will too. Fingers crossed for you.

and…I’m in week 6 of a 22 week triathlon training program. Tri is scheduled for July 23rd. I’ve even recruited my husband and a couple of friends to join me.

Booked our tickets to see the space shuttle launch in April. That will get #16 checked off my list. http://searanchrambles.blogspot.com/2010/11/life-list.html

I’ve been making progress on some long-term items, but I haven’t completed anything recently. Maybe I should make homemade ravioli this weekend so I can check something off…

Nah, the cousin is crashing on the couch until he has a better place to live. But sharing the bathroom with him (and his girlfriend, and his habits) is preventing it from becoming a “peaceful oasis.”

i’m crossing off TONS of stuff, but, even more importantly, i’m editing the list quite a bit. it seems that a lot of the things i put on there i don’t really want to do, or i don’t really want to accomplish them the way i thought i wanted to.
i wrote about some of it here: http://meshow.blogspot.com/2011/01/so-this-is-new-year.html

I’ve crossed a couple of things off my list recently: a girls-only trip to Melbourne with my teenage daughter, and fully funding my first Kiva loan. Very satisfying!

It’s a good year for the Life List!
+ Learned to drive stick in a manner no longer invoking laughter from the rest of the car. I am James Bond.
+ I will be running a 10K in April! (The goal was only 5K, but sometimes life kicks your ass)
+ I finally started planning the trip to London that’s been talked about for years but always put off, with my Mom, Aunt, and favorite cousin. Oy! Spring 2012! (And husband is going to finally take his “boys trip” to bike through Ireland with the guys. His trip is far more ambitious.)
+ Added emergency appendectomy to my list after I had one last month. Because why not? Who doesn’t want to check that one off??
Thanks for checking in on us, Maggie! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for this year.

I’m training to run my first 5k in April! And I wore a mini skirt with pride!

Christina, I’ve been editing too. It feels funny to make a to do list where you let yourself remove stuff without doing, but worse to cringe a little inside when you’re reading over a list that’s supposed to make you happy. VIGAH!
Ooo, Shophia. I’m still trying to decide whether we can do it. Maybe we’ll see you there.

Completely freaked out. I started to tear up when they were tightening the harness but I kept telling myself..”that bus you just came up on, another group that just did this exact same thing is leaving on it. This place would not still be in business if peeps died everyday. It will be fine.” And it was. Scary and thrilling at the same time. I had perma grin for the rest of the day. The red stripe roadie was a perfect end to a phenomenal experience…..ziplining and crossing off my first list item!

I played Neil Young’s Heart of Gold on the harmonica (#5) after my boyfriend got me harmonica lessons for my 25th birthday. A friend and I are buying plane tickets for our trip to France this Friday (#24) and I’m getting in the habit of having people over for dinner regularly (#82). Living intentionally really does work!

My list is brand new- started in November. I checked my first thing off January 1 (pay off all undergraduate debt!) and am working on several others. One that suddenly got a whole lot closer is to go sky-diving (thanks Groupon for the kick in the pants). Here’s to hoping I get over my fear of falling from heights by the end of June!
