List of Crazy/Awesome Things, Mostly Terrifying
I gave myself homework last week in my letter. It's due today.
To reiterate, this is my list of all the awesome and scary things I want to do/go/see in the next five years. It's not a bucket list, but it's also not a list of goals. Some of these are part of my N Steps Towards Self-Embetterment and (Eventual) World Domination. Some of these are for kicks and giggles. And some of these are things I just really want to do before we leave Tucson and/or "settle down," whatever the hell that really means. In my mind, it's attaching ourselves to a specific property through the age-old ritual of going into debt.
Anyway: The List of Crazy-Awesome Things, Most of Which are at Least Somewhat Terrifying
Some of that is purposefully vague. But that's okay at this point. I'm going to come back and address each one of these and see how best I can break it down into measurable, attainable chunks. I also may amend as needed, since I only had a week to put this together. And things change.
