New Year, New List

Wow, 2009. Shouldn't we be driving flying cars...vacationing on the moon...exchanging recipes with beings from other galaxies? Funny how we saw the future so differently just a few decades ago. No, 2009 is not a year of intergalactic gallivanting, but it is a year of change and hope - which brings me to do one of my favorite things in this world - make a list. :-)

This list is random things I want to accomplish in 2009. Some are original, some are modified, and some are carry-overs from my previous list (if at first you don't succeed...you know the drill). In no particular order...
