THE LIFE LIST.

I will do that one day.

I find myself saying these words more often with each passing year. And frankly, I'm not getting any younger, folks. It's time to start living and living with some gusto. Ya know what I mean?

This is me documenting all of those things I've promised to myself. This is my life list.

There are 4 main themes in my life: travel, booze fun, family and design. I almost added a fifth--the 'knowing I need to get my ass in shape but struggle doing it' theme--but that doesn't quite roll off the tongue. I can say with some confidence that anything I ever want to do revolves around these four (five) themes. Saying that, I want to find a strong balance between my wants/needs in the future in addition to being the best damn wife/sister/daughter/friend/coworker/employee anyone could ask of me.

*Disclaimer: I will not take shots if I'm pregnant. Calm it down, crazies.
