40 by 40

My friend and sister, Courtney, did her 40 by 40 and I thought "how hard can that be?" Ha! Was I wrong. This list is not in any specific order, although some of the items were harder to write than others. I think part of that is because I had to admit that they were things I actually thought I could get done in the next 2 years.

No way I'll accomplish everything, but my thinking is that in two years, I'll just change it to a 45 by 45 and add a few to the end.

Is your list similar? Is there anything that you are dying to do that you'd like a partner for? I'd really love someone to help me clean out my parents second floor, if there are any takers!
