99 Things

I got this from Adrienne  who got this from a couple other people who got it from Al at Traffic Jelly and I don't know where she got it. But I have a basket of laundry I don't want to fold yet and dinner is already ready and the Hubster isn't home yet, so here this is.

Go through the list, bold the things that you have done. Leave everything you haven't done alone. Reminds me of a bucket list. It'd be fun to fill the list with things you want to do and then bold as you complete your list. I'm not going to do that though, I know the things in life my heart wants to accomplish, and I'll get there - without a physical list.
