Her ambition runs amok! (contains yet another list)

Since the homeownership thing isn't going to happen any time soon (unless a certain local rumor is true), I'm looking for another inspiring life goal that's a bit more challenging than knitting another hat. Here are some possibilities:

Nice:
buying a computer
getting a fish

Exciting:
buying a digital camera
taking a vacation to a place where I have no known relatives

Gratifying:
adopting a dog
getting published

There are other more practical goals out there, but who wants to read about them? The goals that I've listed here are lackluster enough.
