39 things!

I was inspired by Mary Ann Moss once again. http://www.dispatchfromla.typepad.com/ She had created a list of 48 things she wanted to do before she turned 49 this year.  So, I created my own list.  This will mark the end of my third decade.  Yep, BIG 40 this year.  Ok, well, I am getting started a little late on this list.  I will be 40 in September.  I am not sure I can squeeze 39 things in by September.  However, I can try.  Here goes my list of 39 random things (not in any certain order)  I WANT to do this year:

Like I said... This is a long list.  Some of them, I have already done this year.  Many of them are family traditions we do every year, but some of them we haven't been able to do for a while.  Maybe since I wrote it down, I will get some of them done.
