52 Things in 52 Weeks

Well, the 101 Things in 1001 Days list went kaput (I finished about a third of them).  I'm on to bigger and better things with this new list.  I intend that over the next year I will do something new every week.  Some are small (like buying a new eyeshadow color) and others are big (like skydiving).  I intend this blog to document all that I do in these weeks and see what I can truly accomplish in one week or less.  I'm certain I will amaze myself this year and, aren't you lucky, you get to come along for the ride!
Anyone who knows me understands that I cannot sit still.  I need change.  I need movement.  I need chaos and commotion.  In all of that, is comfort.  I am comfortable with a bit of mess and chaos (too much and I stress, there is a nice balance).

Without further ado, here is my list!  I grouped them according to type of action.  The fun starts next week!  What, oh what, shall I do?  Honestly, I don't yet know...
