The list

My life is an open book...literally. Chances are, if you play even a minor part in my life, you'll one day appear in my memoirs, "It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time." Just saying...

I have been hanging my hat on the above notion lately. I am the queen of bad decisions. I can't help it; I love trouble, apparently. And the older I get, the more stupid mistakes I make. I thought you were supposed to get wiser with age? I notice I've been getting less cautious and more brazen. One day, I have a feeling my tendency to act on impulse is going to get me into trouble (big trouble in at least one case, possibly two), but... it makes life more interesting and I've taken on an "I'm not going to die wondering" approach to life these days. So far, I have to admit I kinda like it. Love it, in fact.

The other day I was scanning my bookcases for something to read when I stumbled on 2,001 Things to Do Before You Die. I perused the list (some of the ideas were too far out there, even for me) and decided I wanted to come up with my own "To Do" list, although not quite as extensive. I figure if nothing else, attaining some crazy life goals would help me along with the book-writing process...

For now, I'll start with this but don't worry, I'll create a more detailed, personal list later. Stay tuned!
