I don’t really do new year’s resolutions, which is why you haven’t seen me talk about them yet. Every time I say “This year I’m going to…” I almost immediately forget I said anything about it and it goes unaccomplished.

This year, I’ve made sort of a “2012 Bucket List” which is full of stuff I already planned on doing, but I love lists and I love the satisfaction of checking them off, so I wrote it all down and I am presenting it to all of you because that’s what we do this time of year. We parade our goals about for the world to judge and mock.

So, what’s on your bucket list/resolution list? Is there anything I’m missing that I should totally try to accomplish?
