Life List (a work in progress)

Maggie from Mighty Girl has inspired many to create a life list, especially after she not only posted hers, but started wracking up the cross outs on her life list.  I didn't think it was necessary to make a list as I do things I want to do when they come up...but this is a COMPLETELY delusional statement and my memory is shite.
