Number 1. Run the Marine Corps Marathon. [wow. I'm setting the dial to 'pretty much impossible' and we're only on number one!]
Number 2. Hike the Appalachian Trail. [biggie. That thing takes about 6 months to hike. I'm going to do it with Peter. Spending 6 months with Peter...hmmm...we'll see if my sanity survives this one]
Number 3. Sell gelato. [finally something easy!]
Number 4. Earn my 'Expert' certificate in air-rifle. [it's the goal of every air-rifle shooter in our club. A worthy aspiration indeed, and a tough one at that.]
Number 5. Read the complete Bible. [benefits--countless!]
Number 6. Memorize one book of the Bible. [already started on 1 Peter!]
Number 7. Finish my first NaNoWriMo book. [it's been almost three years since I wrote it and I'm still planning on rewriting the thing. Again. Just call me the re-writin' queen!]
Number 8. Build myself a winning streak of 10 years on NaNoWriMo. [2 years down and 8 to go!]
Number 9. Ride the biggest roller coaster in the world. [this might take a while, seeing as I'm not even sure what it is.]
Number 10. Win a scholarship. [this would be great for college!]
And that's the first draft of my bucket list. Seeing as I'm Izori the Rewritin' Queen, I'll probably be happy with this thing on draft number #2,346.
Picky makes perfect, you know. ;)

P.S. Thanks for the prayers, iGirl! =)

Guess what's coming up!
That's right, summer! I"m really looking forward to it, particularly because, for basically the first time ever, I won't have to do school work through the summer! All I basically have to do is complete Latin, but we're right on track for everything else.
That's probably the only downside to home schooling: if we aren't careful, we get really off track because we don't have a rigid schedule. However, not being tied down to the public school year has way more ups then downs, including being able to vacation when no one else can. =) We can also take sporadic weeks off, like we did during Dad's cancer treatment.
I had an extensive to-do list for summer, including brushing up on my Russian and being more fluent in sign language. And there were some things even more ambitious than that! Then I decided that this summer I'm not going to be stressed out. I might not get as many things accomplished, but at least I won't feel like a spread a mile wide and an inch deep.
Here is my drastically toned down summer to-do list:
1. Completely finish and publish my NaNoWriMo novel.
2. Finish Latin.
3. Be able to run 4 miles.
4. Get my Vitamin D level up to normal.
5. Become a better swimmer (I'm a good swimmer, but not a fast one)
6. Become better friends with Luthien.
7. Practice soccer every day.
8. Cut down on sugar intake.
9. Read my Bible every single day.
10. Choreograph to 'The Butterfly' by Mairead Nesbitt
11. Relax and have fun!
And my before summer to-do list:
1. Finish the script for my friends (ha-ha, that's funny).
2. Do a good Gollum imitation (I'm actually good at that already)
3. Finish my school work
Yes, not a very long list.
Stuff that didn't make these lists were things like work more on two other novels and improving my foreign language skills. However, I still want to improve my sign language.
Well...now that I've made known my goals, I might want to start working on them. Like finishing my school work.
Can't wait 'till summer!

P.S. Thanks everyone for praying! I'm am 100% better now, and my mom, who had it on Sunday/Monday, is better too. Erestor has caught it now. Please pray for him, and also that no one else will catch the stomach bug. Galdor would be absolutely miserable if he had it!
Thanks!
