10 Things I’m Looking Forward To Now That #skndpldr Is Over

  1. Spending time with my family – I think Pace was starting to suspect daddy had gotten married to his computer since I was spending more time with it than him and mommy the past few months! 😉
  2. Finishing getting ready for the addition to our family – apparently we’re having a baby in two months or less.  Also, holy shit!
  3. Getting My E-mail Under Control – even with filters and other tricks, dozens and dozens of messages a day is still a lot of messages to deal with.
  4. Seeing my tweeting drop down significantly – I’m actually not a huge user of Twitter most of the time
  5. Reading A Book – I’ve written about how I tend to read about a book a week on average, sometimes more, sometimes less.  That means I should have read  about 10 books so far this year.  The number I’ve actually read so far this year could be counted on one hand with a couple fingers left over! 😉
  6. Staying in Touch With All The New Friends I’ve Made – it was pretty cool to show up in Saskatoon and feel instantly at ease and comfortable with a huge group of people you’d never met in person.  Much of this was due to common cause of course but much was also because of the online forum we’d created which was filled with warmth, humour and humility throughout the race
  7. Watching a Hockey Game or Two – the NHL is back this year, right?  Somebody better tell the Flames – as I type this, they’re last place in the Western Conference and only a couple points ahead of Washington and Florida for worst in the league!
  8. All Kinds of Neglected Little Projects – which have been neglected worse than usual during this leadership campaign (including sleep as there were way too many nights when I’d stay up way past my bedtime thinking “I’ll just reply to that Facebook thread one more time” or “Hey, I’ve got an idea I should type up right now before I forget it!” then slide back into bed two hours later.)
  9. My Next Obsession – whether at work, home or in my personal life, I tend to get very interested in a single overriding project/interest for awhile and then when that’s over, find something else.  After being “All Meili all the time”, I’m interested to see what my next obsession (beyond one with ten little fingers and ten little toes)might be?
  10. Seeing What The Future Will Bring For Politics, in Saskatchewan and Beyond – although I don’t see myself going “all in” for anything like I did during the past six months (see #1 & #2 for the big reasons that won’t happen, even if opportunities arose) but I will be watching developments with great interest in the coming days, weeks and months.
