Year number 28, it's time!

Yes, it's finally time to make these little thoughts and wishes a reality. Over 1/2 of these items I had very good intentions for last year, but couldn't quite make them a reality. This year, though, this 28th year is the perfect year for all of these things.

I loved Andrea's idea of using a birthday as an excuse to plan must dos for the coming year. Thanks for the inspiration Girl Hula!

(I know, I know, it's not my birthday til Oct. 22, but seems like I should be able to get started on some of this stuff as long as it's my birth-MONTH, right? Right? It's just so hard to wait!)
