Somewhere, I read something about making small goals in the amont of years you were before your next birthday. (Goodness, what an awkward sentence!) I like that idea a lot more than than making silly New Year’s Resolutions. In fact, I like it so much that, in honor of my 45th birthday (How on earth did I get that old????) which is coming up way too soon, I am posting my List of 45 things. (Technically, I’m a bit short, that’s a lot of things to come up with. Do you have any brilliant ideas on what else I should include?). My goal is to have everything crossed off by February 14th, 2010. (and yes, I would love help completing them, thanks for asking!)
