I'm doing 34 things
At Kiva.org you can lend $25 to a person in a developing country to use for their business. They pay it back, and then you can either lend it to someone else, or cash it in. I’ve lent to six people over the course of a few years. A great cause. I just put a banner and a link on my blog to better promote it.

We get lots of family time now, and couple time in the evenings. I just needed to wait out the difficult times with his work schedule. Read how I did it…

Swimming at the high school pool
They have a diving board! I got to dive for the first time in about 20 years and loved it.
My son is graduating from t-ball to baseball next summer, so we’ve been going to a batting cage where he can practice hitting the balls. They also have mini-golf at that place, so we’ve been doing that too. I got a pair of inline skates and have been trying to learn, so that’s another activity.
