(I was feeling pretty good about 30.5 out of 50 until I calculated - it's a 61%, which is an F - yikes!
Fifty things I'd love to do with my life:
1. Speak French with fluency (again) I work at a French-owned company, does that count for partial credit?
2. Inspire the people around me I think I do sometimes, which makes me inspired!
3. Be the kind of mom the other kids brag about
4. Be known for my story-telling Am I? I guess it depends on who you ask. My friend Sarah says no one tells a stroy like me.
5. Publish my BLOG
6. Write a children's book
7. Learn how to weld so I can make jewelry
8. Learn how to love my body/create a body I am proud of I've learned that is one you keep working on every day, so I can't really check it off the list.

14. Be my nephew's favorite aunt Pretty sure I got this one in the bag for Mas - not sure how Nicholas feels

19. Get a Real Estate License I don't know that I would want to anymore.
20. Come as close to not caring what other people think of me as possible Maybe I like caring actually. It makes me concientious.
21. Spend a summer in Mexico
22. Learn how to make money doing what I love Working on it...
