Gosh! I hope you can do many / most of these. It is an ambitious list…
I hope so too! 🙂
Jane’s last name is Austen, not Austin…sorry…my OCD got the better of me again…
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.
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! 😉
