1. I just wanna bang on the drum all day.

[NightWatcher]

2. Forced retirement. So now job #1 is training my 1 year old

So that she will rise up and conquer this silly planet and rule with an iron fist....of benevolence.

Prepare for Izzy The Conquerer.

[sarge43]

3. As little as possible, however

I am willing to be a burden on society and serve as a bad example. Bids accepted.

[nolabear]

4. Beaches call me...

but then so does duty. Wish you didn't have to be so old to retire. The beaches might be all gone by the time I get one.

13. I wish I had gone to see them in their hey-day

[Iggo]

16. I saw them open up for Ozzy.

I think it was the Bark At The Moon tour.

[OriginalGeek]

17. I've seen ozzy many times but never saw them

that woulda been a cool ass show.

[Iggo]

18. Maybe it wasn't Ozzy.

It was so long ago, and I can't be sure anymore who the headliner was. All I really remember is the opening bands were Twisted Sister and Giuffria (oh, the hair! the long beautiful hair!).

(EDIT: Just got off the phone with my brother. He says maybe the headliner was Ratt. Sounds about right.)

7. Write, play, love!

[RebelOne]

8. Try to stay alive. I am already 73 and I want to make it to 93. n/t

[jp11]

9. Cuddle and sleep.

[lunatica]

11. My potential has shrunk considerably

And I suspect it will shrink even more.

So sooner or later I will have fulfilled my potential if I live long enough.

[Initech]

12. I wanna rock n roll all night and party every day!!!

[csziggy]

14. Try to finish all the projects I have planned before I die

With the number of needlework projects and my goals for my genealogy research, that means I will have to live to something over 120 years old.

Just the needlework projects on my current list number over thirty and that doesn't count additional projects which I have not bothered to add to the list. I had a dozen projects to be finished by the end of this year but with my knee replacements, the target for those has been moved back to the end of 2013. And I added some additional projects to make sure I would stay busy that long!

As for the genealogy - I'm about halfway finished with my original goal of adding documentation to the research done my my father's mother and my mother on my family. I finished with Mom's family but new sources keep showing up and I keep going back and adding additional information. The printouts of the documentation filled five LARGE loose leaf binders. I've moved on to my Dad's family and am only just getting into the lines that go way back.

And my MIL told me that she wants me to take over the research on my husband's family. She's exhaustively researched and published her father's family name, with everyone she could find who ever lived in the United States with that surname. And she's done some on her mother's side, but not a lot on my husband's father's family. What she does have has been condensed to four file boxes filled to the brim with research. Oh joy!

15. Post at DU, naturally.

Putting up as many LOLcats pictures as I can find.

19. Great question

One I desperately need to figure out.
