Bucket List for 2012

Sunday, January 1, 2012 by Nicole 23 Comments

Happy 2012 

Welcome to my second consecutive bucket list, or resolutions, posting. Lisa, from Baby, You Can’t Drive My Car, inspired me to create this list. She’s had one for nine years. Lisa is cool like that.

So this is how my (bucket) list of resolutions works: I post my list — things I’d like to accomplish, things I’ve been putting off, things I’d like to acquire or do, and things I’ve done before and want to continue ~ and then I provide a monthly update to track my progress. I’m also including a monthly resolution in the mix ….. I’m adding spice to my life.

The Mayans said we’re all going to die in 2012, right? Well, if that’s indeed true, then I’m making 2012 my bitch. Oh Yeah!

Join the fun and post your resolutions by adding a link to the bottom of the page.
