My bucket list

Being the planner that I am, I’ve already been thinking about things I want to do in 2011. But it’s too early to post a 2011 goals list like I did for 2010 in one of my opening blog entries. So instead, I’m going to post my bucket list, which actually includes many of the “To Do” items that I have in mind for 2011.

So here it is. I’ll most likely be adding to it, and if any of you care to join, I’d love to share these experiences with good friends.
