Ultimate To Do List

This may be shocking, but I'm not the most adventurous person in the world.  Once I find something I like (hypothetical example: eating pizza on the couch cuddling my baby and watching HGTV) I like to stick with it.  Some might even go so far as to say that I take the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" a little too close to heart.  But every once-in-awhile I grow a wild (probably gray) hair and decide to do something new and exciting.

Below is a little list of things that both terrify and excite me.  Terrify because they probably don't involve the couch.  Excite because...well, they don't involve the couch.  Some day I hope to complete the list so when my children tell my future grandchildren that I'm older than the internet, I can say, "That's true, but I still did some cool stuff."
