The big reveal

After going back and forth for weeks, I think I've finally settled on my list of 30 things.  It's been a long hard road (ha!), and many items have been removed, modified and consolidated... but I think I'm finally ready to share.

When you see the list, you might be like my roommate Ellie and say "Umm, how much time do you have to do this?"  Yeah... right.  How much time do I have? While this is gonna be a commitment, I'm up for it.  I thrive on challenges and having something to train for.  My goal? Complete all 30, in 3 months...

Without further ado....
