This post needs it's own page...
so you can visit it regularly (and so can I) and see the progress that I've made
It's not my forever list, it's my for now list and eventually...purple will rule!

Here it is LouLou!
Okay...you've probably seen this on a couple of blogs lately if you're a lurker...
the concept is to write a list of 100 things you'd like to do within the next 'specified period of time' (usually 5 years).
I've read some interesting comments on other people's lists...like "what happens if it takes 6.5 years, is that a fail?" Interesting idea there...especially since so many of us *raising hand like Horshack* consider ourselves failures when we set our selves up with unobtainable goals...
So, while I AM going to make a list of things i DEFINITELY want to do...I'm not putting a time limit on them. I think this will actually work for the Babs in me (and I KNOW it will stab away bits and pieces of the JOAN in me because SHE needs stuff done yesterday.)
Perhaps knowing that it's on the list...will make it seem not as rushed and yet still attainable.
We shall see... ;)
