Things I Don't Do, But Should:
- Read each day. I require my students to do it but rarely touch a book during the week. Could I count reading blogs?
- Floss. I start about a week before the dentist and the week after my visit.
- Clean my car. It is a mess. I love my car... it's paid-off and drives wonderfully but not worth the effort of cleaning it. I no longer see my car as a "status" symbol. It is a mode of transportation. Geez, I sound old! Maybe if I had a nicer car I'd take more pride in it.
- Take a vitamin each day.
- Keep in contact with high school and college friends at times other than at weddings or Christmas.
- Read the Bible often.
- Email or call my mother-in-law. We have had a less than wonderful relationship. The wedding planning process created some tension between us. I have good intentions of creating a better relationship with her but I don't act upon it like I should.
- Go out of my way to be romantic. I need to flirt with Husband more.
- Cut coupons. My mom gets the paper daily but I always forget to go over to her house to cut coupons. I know it would help me save money.
- Water my flowers. I just pray for rain every 3 days.
- Take compliments to heart.
- Dance! I love dancing. I never think to do it as a workout or try to get Husband to dance with me.
- Appreciate people as much as I should.

I'm with you on almost all of these...execept I cut coupons (but usually forget to use them) and call my mother-in-law way more often than my mother! (I love both of them dearly but my MIL is just much more social and talkactive!)
I LOVE the Mother in Law and talk to her as much as mi madre. It's such an important relationship to me. I feel that I talk to both moms about way too much, but they are ladies and I'm sure understand :)
I make sure I get in bed at 9:00 every night to read. I've been a reader since I was a small child. And I started taking vitamins a few weeks ago. I keep them in my make up bag so I remember to take one every morning. And facebook is the easiest way to keep up with old friends. Sometimes I know more than I want to.
I'm with you on the clean car thing. I don't think I've ever cleaned mine and I've had it for a year and a half!
I should definitely read more often, too. All I read is blogs and textbooks. Haha. I read more in the summer when I'm not in school!
I also need to floss and take vitamins more often! Ha
I could make a list like this too. I remember to take my vitamin everyday because I just take it with my bc pill. That way I never forget!
I am such a plant murderer, I never remember to water them : /
I like this idea, I think I have many of the same "shoulds" as you do.
I could have written this list... except for the plant watering, I water every day!
I can relate to the mother-in-law issues. I can safely say that we are on our way to "repair", and life is much, much better from this perspective :)
I'm with you on a lot of these. I do however read and take vitamins. I should also reach out to my MIL more, but I'm just not in the right space to do it right now or ever for that matter. I should flirt with the husband more, can't ever do that too much!
Great list!
