30 Things

Quite a while back, I signed up on this website, 43 Things. The idea is to come up with goals for yourself, things you want to do, see, or accomplish and check them off gradually. While I haven't been on in a long, long time, I stumbled across my account today and thought I'd share the current list of yet-to-be-accomplished goals for my life. (in no particular order...)

1.	stop procrastinating.
	2.	sleep under the stars
	3.	see more live music
	4.	resume journaling
	5.	Own a chocolate lab
	6.	Find out the optimum number of sleep hours in a night for me and sleep them

	8.	Be a better friend
	9.	start practicing my mandolin more
