40 things to do in 2009

I'm not big on New Year's resolutions. I am, however, a goal-setter and list-maker. I like keeping track of things and thought I'd participate in Sprittibee's encouragement to put it down on paper. Probably, this will grow in the next week as I remember more items to add to it. FUN! By the way, have any of you seen The Bucket List? What a fantastic movie. I watched it on a plane and made an utter fool of myself, laughing and sobbing away in my seat with my digiplayer. Sniff.
