David emerged from the office the other day, plunked down on the couch and said “You know what would be a good idea for your inspired life thingy?  Write about making a wish calendar.”

Me: “Fun!…Wait, what’s that?”

Him: “It’s like a wishlist of all the things you want to do (and I do love me some list-making) but instead it’s a calendar that shows when you’ll do it.  Like how we always say we’re definitely going to go to the Improv.  But then we forget.  Put a bunch of stuff that’s actually coming up on your calendar.  And then we’ll go.”

I’m all over this.  I’ve already got the birthday calendar, the blog calendar and the daily workload in full swing.  I’ve also scheduled dinner parties and other social events to keep on top of Goal #3.  So what else is on my wishlist calendar?

Well…we have a  Great Park that has a balloon that will fly you up to 400 feet, where you can see literally all over Orange County.  Yeah, awesome.  It’s free and it’s open all the time, which is part of the problem…we could go whenever, but we never have.  So now it’s on the calendar for a random Saturday in the next couple weeks.  I’ll get a reminder via email that morning and we can decide if we want to go do it.  If not then I just move it to another day.

I’ve also been wanting to shop more frequently at the farmer’s markets instead of grocery stores.  It’s pretty easy to do considering we have one every Thursday a block away at the fairgrounds.  There’s also one every Saturday at SOCO Collection just down the street.  No excuses when it’s on the calendar.

All the local OC and LA Flea Markets

I’m also part of a few Meetup groups, get great deals from Groupon, and just joined a Facebook group called Costa Mesa Neighborhood Network and 365 Things to do in Costa Mesa so I get plenty of invites for events and fun things to do.  I’d like to join an email list for local museums too.  If it looks interesting I’m penciling it in.

What’s on your Wish Calendar?
