Okay, so I just realized I haven't written for this blog since April. I simply haven't had the time. Between working full-time at the library, taking care of my six- year old daughter (I can't believe she's going into second grade already in the fall), and keeping up with my Second Life, it isn't easy. Yes, I know, if I cut my online time, I'd have a lot more time to do things (but writing this blog, of course, wouldn't be one of them). So what would I do if I had the time? I gave this some consideration and came up with a theme for this post. It's not a bucket list or a list of resolutions. It's simply stuff I'd do if I had some extra hours in the day. And btw this is not in any order of priority because I had no time to do that -- lol.
1. Get more sleep (I know that's not being productive, but after learning that not getting 8 hours of sleep a night can put on weight, it makes me wonder what I'm missing).
2. Get more excercise (I still can't seem to find the time to work out too often and this also goes along with #1 as far as weight loss).
3. Read more books (I used to read so much more before I had a child or started SL. Both of these take a toll on that, although I have read a lot more kids books and notecards -- lol).
4. Write another novel (I miss writing but never seem to get back to it).
5. Write to sell (maybe getting back to article writing would be more worthwhile and pay more).
6. Take a class (I enjoy learning and wouldn't mind taking a class to learn something new, but I'd probably gravitate toward a computer class while an excercise one might be more helpful.)
7. See my family more (it seems I hear less and less from my relatives, and some of us only communicate on Facebook).
8. Buy more stuff for myself (not online). I'm not much of a shopper but, besides buying online in rl or SL, I hardly shop in stores anymore and when I do, I end up buying stuff for my daughter.
9. Travel (of course this takes money, too)
10. Clean (this is a big one. I tried the little by little approach in my house organizing my desk and closets, and it takes forever. If I had a chunk of time, I could really do it justice).
11. Go to the doctors and dentist (I hate taking time off from work or vacation to do this, but the longer you put appointments off, the worse it gets).
12. Spend more time in Second Life (oh, no. Sad but true).
