Diane, I love reading your list; these lists are personal and it's kind of like a get to know you thing too. You've got some great things on your list. (Note on #60. I got pro fitted this summer and can I just say if you go to a good store to have it done, it's so worth it!)

Visiting Donegal got my attention. Interested in a group trip? It's my mother's family's origin. :D

a) Some of your goals overlap with some of my gift ideas for you. :shakefist:

b) Maybe we should coordinate on some of these goals that require manual labor...

c) If you want someone to walk or TaeBo with, I'm down.

d) I love you.
