life list

as you know from previous posts, i love LMM blog. i am following suit and making my very own LIFE LIST; or BUCKET list if you will. i must say, this was very hard. i got to #28 and got to a block, then again at #51 and again at #83. it really makes you think about your life and future and things you would really love to do and accomplish. some of them were no brainers, but others i really had to think about. i tried to be as realistic as possible, but some of them most likely will not happen (winning a HGTV house? i think not).
