2. Walk in the Lupus Walk-a-Thon.
I registered! Please donate!
http://donate.lupus.org/goto/stefanie.wolf4. Send Ari a care package to Israel before he actually comes home.
I sent an email to the friends and am planning on getting everything together for when I get home from Chicago.
8. Participate in a marathon - even if you're not really trying to win.
Taking a "Learning to Run" class with Meghan - anyone else wanna come? Yes, it seems silly...but I think it could be a good way to start.
Learn to Run - Sports Apparel Discounts & Happy Hour Prices - FREE
Are you ready to learn how to run? Yea.. learn. There is actually a lot to know about running. People run for so many reasons: Fresh air, exercise, friends, accomplishment, and to eat like a pig when you’re done running.
Some of you may even have a goal to run a marathon (awesome). In 2008 I literally ran for the first time (not counting running for the train), I didn’t think I would ever be able to do it, but I did! Not to mention I had a ton of fun doing it. (See my Journal here)

9. Give up cheese for one whole month.
This will start as soon as I get back from Chicago, April 5 - May 5 (celebration of Cinco de Mayo quesadillas!!)
11. Read 7 new books that you're not afraid to admit to others you've read.
I finished White Noise!! I'm now a couple pages into Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex. Totally not embarrassed by either - I'm on my way!
21. Go to wineries that aren't on Long Island.
Did it AGAIN! Went to a winery in Chicago (why on earth are there wineries here???) I had a sample of blackberry wine and bought a pear (!!!) wine. Excited!
23. Put $5,000 into savings.
Does it count if it's money from new loans? I did just get an upgrade in job status, though - so that should help. I'm now doing birthday parties for the science company and that upgrades me from $40/hr to $50 PLUS tips ($20-$80 usually) - HOORAY! I'm also going to be working at the JCC doing an art/science program part time in the summer and part time doing the science day camp (so 30 hrs a week, regularly, for 7-8 weeks). This should mean good money-making for meeeee!
30. Do something, purely for the story.
I'm in Chicago right now, visiting Rob. I don't know how much this is entirely for a story, and how much is for just life happiness...but there is definite story potential here. To be built upon...
