  1. Gosh! I hope you can do many / most of these. It is an ambitious list…

  2. Jane’s last name is Austen, not Austin…sorry…my OCD got the better of me again…

  3. Kelly…I know it is Sunday (Jan. 15), but I want you to go out to a gas station and buy a lottery ticket today. Find out when you can check to see if you won. When you learn that you lost, you can agree with me that that was a stupid waste of money, but then you can go check this item off your 2012 Manifesto list, which will make you feel better.

  4. Changed Miss Austen’s name on this list- thanks for the catch! 🙂

    I’ll go to get a lottery ticket today (Jan. 15th) if I have time. I agree it’s a waste of money, but you won’t win if you don’t even try, and since I’ve never purchased a lottery ticket before I thought it would be a fun addition to my list. And hey, you never know, maybe I’ll win big! 😉
