I'm gunna do.....

Awhile back a friend of mine posted a list with things she has done highlighted. Since it is the start of a new year, I think that it would be great to highlight the things that I WANT to do this year(will be in italics). Plus, I'll follow the traditional idea and make those I have already done BOLD. I'm a little nervous to do this because then you all will know how unadventurous I really am. (Not that I think it really would be hard for anyone to believe) I hopefully have plenty of life left to "live a little" and try some things - so, here is where I am going to start. Wish me luck! To those of you with lots of guts.... could I borrow some for a while???
