With a New Year Comes a new look. I’m all about change at the moment. Things here (as I wrote before) have been crazy, but they’re finally slowing down a bit.
The Holidays slapped me up, kicked my ass and put me in my place this year. I just mean that I thought I was doing really well with “Living in the Moment.” HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Nothing like decorating the Christmas tree to classic Christmas songs sung by the Greats to make this girl 9 yrs old again, and terribly missing my mom and dad. Unfortunately that dark, empty feeling stuck through most of the holidays for me no matter what I tried to shake it. I had a few glimmers of happiness while watching Kidlet open her gift, but it wasn’t until I got to see my Dad this past weekend that I felt better. The Holidays make me homesick. Bah.
Okay. Time to take attendance. Mine that is…..What did I accomplish in 2008?
I Jumped Off a 6 Story Tower
I Went on a Hot Air Balloon Ride
I (as of tonight) Finished My Course and Will Receive My Diploma in Floral Design
1 Finished: 2 Canvases,
2 Knitting Projects (yikes),
and 5 Books
and I think that’s about it. *shaking head*–I was hoping to do more…..
Looking Ahead: To-Do List for 2009
Go to a Milwaukee Brewer’s Game
Learn to play the Guitar
Learn to play the Ukulele (No, I’m not joking)
Paint more (like every year)
This is the Year I Write a Children’s Book!
This is also the Year I Come into My Own
Sky Dive
Host a Huge Summer Party
Start the Tradition of a Family Camping Trip with Friends
I also find out Jan 6th if I get into a program that very well may change my life. I’m crossing my fingers to get in, yet am undecided about blogging about it yet….Sorry. It’s nothing scandalous–just private. However, if I get in be prepared for big changes. 
I’m ready for 2009. It just means another 365 days of opportunity.

So, here is my “Master List” as this is my list to conquer and live by:
An “X” = accomplished
1.) Find out if Pudding is a Viscous Liquid or an Amorphous Solid. **Those who know me aren’t surprised by this…
2.) Go Sky-Diving or Bungee Jumping **Also very Cliche, but Heights is a #1 fear of mine, and someday I’d like to be able to climb a ladder w/o wetting myself and forgetting who I am for an hour.-So I might as well go big.
3.) Take a Safari in Africa
4.) Visit Australia
5.) Tour NYC like a complete Tourist
6.) Have a Unforgettable (or an unable-to-be-remembered) trip to LasVegas*To go with 23*

I’m too orginial to use the term ”Bucket List” to explain the list of things I want to do before I die–especially seeing I had this list WAY before the movie ever came out.
So, here is my “Master List” as this is my list to conquer and live by:
An “X” = accomplished
1.) Find out if Pudding is a Viscous Liquid or an Amorphous Solid. **Those who know me aren’t surprised by this…

I will of course, be adding and checking things off this list as I go, but in the meantime, it’s something I always keep close and keep in my mind. A book regarding this topic that I also always have close to my finger tips is: 2,001 Things to do Before You Die
I HIGHLY recommend it!!!
