65 in 365

I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Just call me a sheeple. Melanie started it with her 101 things in 1001 days. I was intrigued but I don't have that kind of stamina. Then I saw that some others had narrowed it down to 65 in 365 and figured that I could handle that. Yeah. We'll see.

I have a running list of things that I want to do in the next year. I've had the same damn list for the past 3 years. See the problem? I need some accountability here people.

So here is my list of 65 things that I want to do or accomplish in the next 365 days. From November 15th 2009 to November 14th 2010. Some of them are actual tasks that I need to complete, some are habits that I want to create and some are life changes. I'll be making a button for it and adding it to my sidebar.....sometime.
