The Real Joy is in the Making of the List

These days I try not to make goals and lists for myself, as I find they can often lead to disappointment and a sense of under achievement. For example, new years resolutions are a big no no for me- if you want to do something, why not start now?
Coming back from holiday, however, is one of those times when I just can't resist a nice juicy 'things I want to do' list.

Here it is:

• Review the books I've been reading, for my poor neglected 'reviews' blog.
• Review hotels and receive Agoda points (then actually find out how to use them next time I book something)
• Try to use DVD maker (for the first time) to showcase holiday photos
• Put some effort into planning school work
• Find an unsuspecting innocent at work to teach me Arabic once a week
• Skip more
• Cook Soup and try out Phil's wonderful recipes
• Decorate flat, starting with a trip to Ikea!
• Work on Spanish
• Write the next chapters of Map Mysteries (and maybe finally give the story a proper name)
• Learn a new musical instrument
• Find out where on earth to buy a musical instrument from in a country that pretty much forbids them.
• And last but never least, say a post-holiday hello to my family on skype.

I think that'll do for now, I feel exhausted just thinking about it all. Maybe its time for a mid morning nap! 

Do you have any plans or goals? I'd love to hear about them.
