And the giveaway winner is...

bruinbr:

Great idea! How about:

1) donate unused/old clothing, etc
2) read
3) call a friend you haven't spoken to recently
4) water the lawn/plants
5) wash the car

Please contact me via email with your list (up to 30 items) + mailing address, and I will write out the slips for you:  gina {at} sekelsky {dot} com.  If I don't hear from the winner by Friday at noon, I'll move on to the next random name. 

Here are six things I'm going to add to my own jar, based on your suggestions in the comments.  (There are many other worthy ideas, just not things I personally need to make a priority right now.  And some things I do regularly anyway, such as going through my underwear drawer.  I'm also trying to make my jar somewhat balanced between chores, physical activity, and creative pursuits.  And since I had been working on my list for a bit before writing my post, I had several of your ideas in the jar already, such as writing a letter, reading, or planning a week of meals.)

*clean out the car

*do something unexpected for someone else

*purge old coupons

*call an old friend

*compile a new playlist

*clean the underside of the fridge

I am really jealous of people who only need six hours of sleep a night.  I'm a nine-hour-a-night girl!

Congrats bruinbr you lucky hmmmm person! I'm jealous. Sigh.
Me too Gina, I get up at 4:45 and leave at 5:30 to get to work on time and since I need sooooo much sleep, I never have much of an evening. Yuk.
Thanks for the fabulous idea!
