43 Things

The obsessive compulsive person in me demands I make lists & goals, and check them off, I started 43things in November 2006, it was around the same time my best friend passed away. It was like I felt obligated to do more, for both of us. Since then, I have completed tons goals, some are easy like watch a specific movie and some are there to pester me, into doing the things I need to do and put off, like going to the dentist, yet some are those life time stretches like, writing a novel.
