Canticles and Omens

Perhaps I invest the days leading up to and the day of my birthday with too much importance. I believe, superstitiously, that what I do in these days sets the tone for the coming year and in some ways determines how the year will go. Last year on my birthday I went to IKEA and then drank too much. I won't be letting that happen again, rest assured.
This year I plan on starting the day early with a swim workout, taking Son to school, and doing some shopping at an event that benefits his school. Then I will go out to lunch and see a movie. In the evening, I plan on having some wine, a nice dinner with the family, perhaps a slice of cake, and then going downtown to see the lights and drink fancy hot drinks. A jam packed day, it sounds like!
But, I'm left with this question, on this, the most auspicious of birthdays, what are my wishes?

• I want to finish the novel (please, god of unwritten novels, please just let me finish! it can even suck!)
• I want to get some poems together and write some more
• I want to finish some stories
• I want to spend more quality time with Son
  
• I want to read some really excellent books
• I want to eat a lot of really good food, but in a moderate way
• I want to exercise a lot, and run another race this year
• I want to spend time with my friends
• I want to learn more about myself
• I want to take my yoga practice to the HNL
• I want to just sit with husband, drinking a bottle of wine and watching the sunset, anywhere
• I want to go to London and Paris (let's keep our fingers crossed)
• I want to go to the coast
• I want to take more photographs (with my SRL)
• I want to speak more Spanish
• I want to be better at tennis
• I want to mountain bike
• I want to ski
• I want to keep swimming
• I want to figure out our housing situation (either move or stop thinking about it. It's driving me crazy!)
• I want to live simply to simply live
