  1. Ooh, too bad Belgium isn't on your list! You should come over here so we can get our eyebrows waxed (just did, no fun), watch a zillion Disney movies and eat chocolate till we explode.

  2. I love this! Ive been slowly updating my goal list but without really knowing what to call it. Ive seen the term life list a few times and that pretty mich describes it. I really like some of your goals--we have a few in common :) like adopt an older dog, get my cvt license (vet tech), get in shape etc!

  3. I absolutely love this idea! It's kind of like a bucket list, but it's not just extreme things. This makes me really think about what it is I might want to do in my life! Thanks for sharing!

  4. I need to make a list I am sure I have done nothing I wanted to years ago. I tried a macaroon to see what the fuss was about and it was pretty normal heck I rather have a Girl Scout Cookie lol

  5. I love "get a tattoo with my sister" - My sister and I have 1 tattoo each, we got them together after I graduated college - Our styles are completely different but they both incorporate an infinity symbol. A little cheesy? Sure. But I am so happy to always have something with me that connects us (especially now that we live so far apart) :)

  10. Ok, awesome list. I'll tell ya, I went "wha?" about the macaroons! Macaroons are awesome. But, you have to get them fresh from a bakery & not prepackaged from the grocery store. Dunk 'em in chocolate....better than nookie ;)

    We have The Movie Poster Warehouse here in Toronto - let me know if you need help with your collection :)

    Take care.

  11. Oh yeah! Going to a movie by myself is my favorite thing to do. I just love getting immersed in the movie-world for two hours without anyone whispering in my ear, "Do you want more popcorn?"

  12. Love your list! I've always wanted to grow a veggie garden but I have such a black thumb - I kill anything green that tries to grow ;)

  13. I especially love "Read the Dark Tower series". It's such an amazing series (and he just put out another book in the series - woohoo!)

  14. great list! I love all the atypical items on it, like getting a kayak and building a piece of furniture. I've been working on my own list recently, just with stupid little things that I thought: why the heck not!

  16. I love how "simple" (but not in a bad way) the things on your list are. I usually take on goals that are WAY to ambitious & then I feel defeated when I don't complete them! Taking those dreams and cutting them down to bite sized nuggets is definitely the way to go! LOVE IT!

  17. Love this. I made a list on my birthday last year that I call my Year 32 list...I'll make another this year too.

  18. That is a great list! :) Some things on your list I have done, some I've done repeatedly, many I haven't done, and a few I wouldn't do. :) I updated my list recently too, but haven't posted it on my blog...yet.
