the list

In case I didn't mention it before, I am an obsessive list maker. So naturally, I have a list of things to do before I die. This summer has been good in that I have crossed two things off the list and will hopefully cross off a third.

My list:

2. Surf
3. Take cooking classes

14. Be famous for something
15. Write a book
16. Work for Disney
17. Take a road trip with my best friends
18. Own a diamond
19. Put my feet in every ocean

Some are more attainable than others, some are silly and some practical but they're all on there just the same.

future plans

I'm going to live on the Olympic Peninsula in a completely eco-friendly home.
