A work in progress
50(or so) things I must do before I die. (Stolen from a friend, and kept some of her answers)
I want this to be the 100 things I do before I die. Here are the 50 I've come up with so far.
1. Retire before I'm 60

4. Visit beautiful castles in Ireland and kiss someone in one of them(ideally a significant other).
5. Get to 130-140 pounds and stay there. Do it for myself and my health and nobody else. (this is something I'm getting closer and closer to accomplishing everyday.)
6. Visit Tokyo, Japan
7. Get over my fear of flying
8. Get over my fear of water(see 2, 3, 6, and 7)
9. Marry someone I'm truly in love with that I can sit on the porch with in a rocking chair at the age of 80 and still hold their hand and be happy.
