I have to get on these.

Inspired by Maggie Mason's Mighty Life list (100 things to do before I go), the beginnings of which can be found here. These are in no particular order and I probably won't think of 100 things tonight, but here's the first part of a first draft.

1. Build a craft room
2. Own/start a business doing something I love
3. Visit Mexico again
4. Sit in hot springs in Iceland
5. Indulge in architecture in Prague
6. Tea in India with tea pickers
7. Learn conversational/basic French
8. Become fluent in Spanish
9. See the northern lights in Alaska
10. Sleigh ride in Quebec
11. Tap a tree for maple syrup in Vermont
12. Have children
13. Get married
14. Write a memoir for future generations of my family to read
15. Learn as much about my ancestry as possible from my grandparents
16. Continue the genealogical work they've done
17. Invest money in a company I believe in
18. Knit a sweater
19. Take ballet lessons
20. Go on vacation with my best lady friend
21. Write a children's book (for my kids or a wider audience)
22. Take a road trip to Minnesota
23. Sing in public again
24. Learn the names of birds and how to recognize them and their songs
25. Create a self portrait that I'm happy with

I am done for tonight!
