Hey Sis~
How many things do I need to have on my list? Can they be things that I have already done but were always on my list? Can you tell that I think I need a list?
Wendy
Wendy – have as many as you want! Just start a list and add to it as more things come up. I’ve added a couple that I’ve already done. At first I felt like that was cheating but then I changed my mind because they’re things I always wanted to do so they count even if there wasn’t a list in place before.
re: take a picture everyday for a year
thought you’d enjoy this: http://www.apartment2024.com/
I want to scroll through this all day. I love it.
My plan for the 365 photo project was to document our first year of marriage but I’m really not at the level I want to be to take pictures everyday so I’ve pushed it out a bit while I learn how to handle a camera.
You ran a Marathon and didn’t you host Thanksgiving?
hosted thanksgiving, hotel in chaing mai was 5 star i think
I guess I should cross out a couple more. My idea of hosting Thanksgiving is not just having people over for a potluck, but actually making everything as well and having a sit down dinner. I think I’m a couple of years (and a new kitchen) away from crossing that off.
I’m copying you and making a list of my own.
