    Start building my media or gameroom this year (I've been procrastinating)

    Be fully retired by the time I'm 45. Or at least can be retired if I want to be - I doubt I'll be able to stay retired; I'd get bored too easily. I took a month or two off from work this year just to see what it would be like with no job. I nearly went nuts after the 3rd week. lol.

    Buy some land and build a house at least 1-2 hours away from any major city. Either that or move back to Houston within the next 5 years. Yeah, I know... they sound completely opposite. :)

    Travel to Africa.

    Do a lot more volunteer work once I'm retired.

    Read a lot more - I don't read as much as I used to... bah.

    I want to leave the country, temporary or permanent. Either way works for me.
    I want to get a new car. A brand new car. No more used cars.
    I want to go back to grad school. I don't know for what yet, but I'm going.
    I want to buy a house.
    And most of all, I want to find a job. Not just any job, but I want to find the perfect job. One where I don't get completely stressed out every day. One where I'm not afraid of my boss. And one where I don't have to yell at the top of my lungs 15x a day.

    Awesome! I'm going to school to be an X-Ray Tech, and I'd eventually like to be trained in MRI, CT, Ultrasound, and Nuclear Medicine. :)

    The school I'm going to is really good about cross-training in these things, too.

    -get through school (one more time, this is what some of us do when we don't like the real world) and get my music degree. Be able to somehow support myself and not get into too much debt.

    -find the right guy. (the timing of this, or even the existence of this person, is not exactly up to me... but I can hope)

    -emerge from school as some sort of actual grown-up, ready to handle a grown-up job this time. I've got a few years, but I need to remember to do it sometime, since I've stayed in this stage of life far longer than most people.
