To Do List
Ok, awhile ago, as I was watching a storm one night, I had an idea. Well, let me preface this by saying- I come from a family of list makers and we can be so bad as to actually make a list of the lists we need to make. I dont know why we do this, we just do. So I decided instead of either a daily agenda list or even a New Year's resolution list, I was going to make a list of things to do before I die. 1000 seemed like a good number. After all, I'm not THAT old and really, in terms of days, weeks and years, I should have plenty of time to accomplish at least 1000 things. The rules are simple, the things on my list can be anything I want to do. I could put get a cake doughnut with pink frosting and colored sprinkles and that would be fine. Or I could put, be mayor of Indianapolis. Whatever I want. So I started off on a roll, places I wanted to go, things I wanted to do, things I thought would be fun or nice to do. I got to about 75 before I started having trouble. I'm officially up to 100 now, but I've lost the momentum I originally had. Anyway, I've decided to post my list so far and hopefully I will get some suggestions, please let me know if you have any, afterall, "Finish this list" is on the list too.
