35 goals

most of you know i make a list of goals every year. so by the time january 24 rolls around, i'll have a list of 32 things i want to accomplish while i'm 32 years old. i am not going to show you that list today. no, not today. instead, i'm going to talk about things i plan to do before i turn 35. some of these are goals i've had set for awhile, some are being made up right now to fill in the list. i'll let you decide which you think are serious and which i never plan to accomplish and/or keep track of. :)

- shower no less than 950 times.

- eat breakfast no less than 850 times. (i'm more likely to skip breakfast than a shower.)

- finish driving up the california coast.

- take a trip to las vegas.

- and greece. i want to go to there.

- work at a job that replenishes my savings account, making the previous three goals possible.

Just curious, what have you done to attempt to meet Vincent? He had quite a few film festivals this year. Visit my blog to see where he is appearing next. Good luck on this goal, I hope you get to meet him some day. Meeting him is definitely on my Bucket List too.

You have got to be one of my favourite people in the world. This is the greatest list. Transmogrify into a small woodland creature? Be a killer fairy? Screech like a velociraptor? (Man. You are so related to my husband. Does being a velociraptor run in the family?)

Do you think you'll find a pretrained monkey, or do you plan to do the unicycle training yourself?

Also, i started reading the list before i really read the intro-- and immediately wondered why you'd want to shower more than twice a day for a full year. OH-- never mind...
