This is my list of "things I want to do" in 2013, and I am going to try really hard to do all of

them. That way it will seem like I'm being really productive.... :) Some of these are silly (55, 

56, 62... :) and others are things I have really really wanted to do for a while now, and it would 

seem likely that I just might be able to accomplish them in the up coming year. I am so 

excited about this new year. The possibly are endless!! :)

What are you looking forward to most in this New Year?
