What programming language(s) do you know / are interested in working on? I can think of several off the top of my head:

A library program - I have a ton of books and never know what bookshelf (or what shelf on that bookshelf) they go - and a few times I've bought duplicate books because I forget I have a certain title. You could enter in information about the book (title, author, ISBN, summary, etc.) and make it searchable. If you don't have a need for doing this for books, how about CDs? Movies? MP3s? Plenty of uses for a library program.

Calendar program - the ability to display the current month (or few months) and store events, have reminders a few days in advance of items (i.e.: "hey, the girlfriend's birthday is coming up soon, don't forget to buy flowers and jewelry"), and categorize events (i.e.: display all events having to do with homework assignments, or all birthdays, etc.).
