1. Become a better dresser. Be one of those women (Like Haley) who has her own sense of style and accessorizes.

2. Actually find something I want to buy at a vintage clothing shop. Why am I the only person who can never find anything second hand? Rock the vintage jewelry look, something I’ve never been able to pull off.

3. Successfully cook a homemade meal for husband that does not involve a crock-pot.

4. Find a mom friend who likes to have fun

5. Audition for a reality show…some sort of weight loss/boot camp program that forces me to lose weight. Get along with other cast members. Not get voted off on first night. Become reality darling of the 2008 season. Win a million dollars. Use most of the money for baby’s college fund. Use some of the money for a chin/neck tuck. Spend two-weeks at a 5-star-resort with husband.

6. Move out of 800 sq. foot house (with husband and baby)

7. Get deeper with my Judaism

8. Read a book that has symbolism in it and actually understand the symbolism.

9. Learn how to burn cds without asking husband

10. Learn choreography to Michael Jackson Thriller Video

11. Manage to attend a wedding where I am not so drunk by the end of the night that Nathan has to help me to the car; actually remain cheerfully buzzed throughout the whole night (ceremony, dinner, dancing, toasts) and be remembered as Nathan’s fun wife, not Nathan’s inappropriate wife. Not once sneak outside with catering staff to bum a cigarette.

12. Stop shopping exclusively at the GAP – I’m 37-year-old for fucks sake. It’s time to grow up.

13. Get a hobby besides television.

14. Wear high heels once in a while.

15. Learn how to “battle” and perform choreographed hip-hop dance while battling.
