I realize that part of personal goals are that they are, well things that you decide and commit to... yourself. However, I've racked my brain and I just can't think of anything I want to learn, do or see this year *that is worth putting down on paper.* I'm sure if I thought about it long enough or remembered to write down the random things that enter my thoughts at the most inopportune time (i.e. running, walking somewhere, shopping) I would easily have more than one. But, I don't remember them. So, to break my procrastination cycle I turn to you, my friends. Brainstorm with me a little, what should fill the number 28 spot on my list?

I want to know what #23 is! Now you have me so curious! I love the spice garden goal, fun!
I hope one of those races is the Baltimore one with me!
How about a poetry reading, even better, organize a poetry reading at your house, after all we did discuss you have the perfect house for parties.
i will happily help you out with numbers 4, 14, and 15! and for #28, how bout "visit the workhouse arts center, formerly the lorton prison" (see, artsy AND historical!) :P
number 4 is on my list of things to do this year too! so if you want to accomplish it together, let me know.
i have always wanted to learn how to play the guitar just to play "blackbird"!
i'm so glad i'll be living with you to join you on these adventures :)
i was going to volunteer to help with #9, as it's something i do often, but then i realized that defeats the purpose...
