Wish List

I haven't updated my wish list since November. I'm making some serious progress these days.

7. Tap Class at the South Shore Cultural Center

They cancelled the tap classes, but I decided to step even farther outside my comfort zone and take a painting class instead. You can check out my progress on my Dwell page, and see last night's first attempt at oil painting here.


34.Learn a Jewish Tradition

This year, better knowing what to expect I threw myself into Hanukah celebrations. I made latkes and sufganiyot and learned the blessing that Josh sings over the candles before lighting the menorah so he wouldn't have to sing alone. To his credit Josh learned some of my favorite Christmas traditions and surprised me too.


35. Meet a blogger

In December Josh and I headed up to the north side to meet Amy while she was in town and in November (I think) we met Miss Ris and her dude in Hyde Park for dinner. Both outings were really fun, and made me wonder why we don't leave the house more often. Strike that, I know why we don't leave the house more often, his name it Tiberius, and he's a mischievous puppy.


48. South Shore branch CPL

This has become my go-to library. It's close, parking sucks but there's usually one spot available, and there are normally only a few books on reserve, so it takes only a minute to get in, find my books and get out.

50. Avalon branch CPL

The Avalon branch is close too, but not as close, not as convenient. But they do always have museum passes in stock, now if we could just make time to take advantage of those free passes...

Hey wait, you've met a blogger before that...

I hope you still take a tap class sometime, so I can live vicariously through you. Tap is the one dance form that I completely do not understand.

    I made this list after I met you! I've met quite a few bloggers, but I want to meet more still! As far as tap, I danced forever; ballet, tap, jazz... I used to like ballet better, but my older body prefers tap. I haven't taken a class since I left Denver, but I still would like to find one here in chicago.

The museum passes are great! I always check one out whenever I'm there and if we don't take advantage of it, turn it back in before we get fined. Usually we manage to get to a museum for at least an hour or so, figuring hey, it's free! Also, I had so much fun meeting you guys. We should get together again soon.

    For sure! Now that Josh no longer has to wear his cast and he's more mobile we'll have to make a plan!

Next time I am in Chicago, I really want to meet up with you and Josh! Also, can you access your library online? My husband and I always request books/DVDs from our library's network. If our library doesn't have it, another one usually does and they will ship it to our library free of charge and we can check it out like regular. You can also renew things online! Just something to look into...

    That might be the best part, it's like Netflix for books... but free.
