Unfortunately, I am one of those people that has to have everything written down. Yes, I'm one of those anal retentive people that makes "to do" lists. Even more, I actually abide them as though they were written in stone. Anyways, I thought what better way could there be for me to inspire myself to complete the tasks that I've been putting off and putting off than to make a blog where it's in black and white and taunting me each time I see it and am unable to check something off because I haven't done anything? So, here it is...a list of the top 100 things I would like to get accomplished over the next year. Stay tuned to see how I do!
