the list-ish

the list was inspired by a friend (thanks Cookie!) & her challenge to us while reading what amounts to a light cheezy sit-com like book. Nothing wrong with the book, read it, didn't mind it but it wasn't the content or the story line that intrigued me, however original-ish it was. It was the after thought, the leftover feeling of what WILL my mark be on this planet? Who AM I, what DO I want out of life? Time ain't slow'n down!

Hence, the list-ish. It is my "list-ish" simply because I cannot commit myself to making it entirely indelible (not to be confused with 'inedible', though it is that too I suppose). Life & circumstance is ever changing. Mayhap, more or less will be added or amended; what if I strike it rich ... am I really still going to want to learn to sew?!
