I don't know if I could give you my whole list at the age of ten, but one of my favourite things to do was get the Apple book magazine sent home to pick out a book. At around the age of ten, I got the book "The Girl with the Silver Eyes" and it totally freaked me out. I thought my own daughter would like it too - so bought it for her online. Guess it didn't appeal quite the same way to her...

I have only recently started that with Beansprout, and think I will have to incorporate it even more now that he's getting older :) Also, I'm envious that you have inherited the ability to come up with wild stories!

I make up 5 yr plans for work once a year because we have to and I don't mind since it is a guide to work from. I have a 5 year plan for my personal life too. Life doesn't live by th plans we make and I accept that. It turns into a tool that helps me refocus and reprioritize so I don't take it too literally. I don't know who is using their 5 yr plan as filler, I have a lot more interesting things to talk about.M. Masonnoreply@blogger.com
