65 in 365

I recently started writing out my "Bucket List," of things that I want to do in my life.  Well, I did write down about 100 things that I wanted to do in my life, but the list just seems so daunting and un-doable. So I saw on Postcards from Insanity she made a list of 65 things that she would try to accomplish within in the next year. I like that idea better because it gives me some sort of deadline. The Bucket List just seemed so never-ending, that I probably would've procrastinated it all the way until I was on my death bed and then tried to cram a million things into a week.  Yes, I do like to procrastinate.
So here it goes, maybe writing about it here will help keep me accountable, I will update every month with things that I have accomplished. This list will be in effect for July 1, 2010-July 1, 2011.  June was just too completely busy with moving and everything.
