Better late than never

Jan 22, 2010 12:59

So when I saw measi was starting this thing, I was intrigued. I started a mental list, which turned into a handwritten list, which turned into a computer list. I'm not going to get into my issues about planning for the future, but I started struggling once I got to about 100. That's why it took me about 2 weeks to come up with what I did, and why the last 67 are blank. I admire those of you who were able to leave only 20 blank. Anyway, I'm jumping on the bandwagon...

Start Date: January 1, 2010 (I did start my list around then...I promise)
End Date: July 4, 2015
