Aisha, I would think twice about that offer... Rosie Auntie said she'd straighten my hair, but only when Sharleen and Libby were around to do the back! I think that's her way of saying it will take some time. ;-) Sadia, watch your inbox! Tee, my approach to this is that I'd like to do these things, but I may not get to all of them, and that's okay. So long as I cross off more and more every year, I still win! Auntie, I didn't specify which books I'd be reading! ;-) insha'Allah it'll be a mix of religious and non-religious so that I am maintaing the balance we discussed Friday night.

It keeps both student and teacher on their toes. I was a student for a year, it got me into the habit of doing my Quran homework before my teacher called for her one to one class with me. I found out that she also had to do homework in order to teach me:) In my humble opinion the best priortization of the all the list is to put it under the three groups in this order: 1. Faith (this could include travel to muslim historic places, visiting scholars etc) 2. Family (this could include friends, cooking, exercise etd 3.Work (this could include reading, boning up on work related topics) Happy New Year! 1.How about ditching some of the book reading and add:

I used to have an account at 41things.com - where you keep a list of 41 things you want to accomplish and the list depressed me instead of inspired me so I ended up deleting my account. Hmmm. I love #107. LOL. And if you visit Dubai that would be awesome! They have so many amazing attractions. You better take lots of pics and share them here :) These kinds of lists are so tempting to me - but then they end up stressing me out!
