What you get by achieving your goals...

My friend Juliana Jex made a list for 33 things to get done before turning 34. It consists of such activities as "Embrace the Lizards", "Go to an NFL Game", and "Attend Rocky Horror Picture Show". Pretty much a list of activities that Take You Out of Your Comfort Zone, Better Yourself, and Have Never Done Before 

I thought this was a SUPER idea. So I made my own sort of list. I had to break it into Themes as I started to go on a tangent about cooking. I had to diversify for I made an outline.

Please note that those that are in Green are things that still need to be completed while the things that are in Italics are things that I have completed.
