twenty-five
I made a list of things I would like to do. A lot of people on the internet have made lists like this, although mine is incredibly pedestrian compared to most of theirs. I am okay with that.
1. Become a Canadian citizen
2. Own an opera-length strand of pearls
3. Have a signature perfume
4. Maintain a flowering plant like a rose bush or a peony
5. Publish a short story, essay or article
6. Publish a book
7. Find the perfect pair of jeans
8. Find the perfect (wearable) pair of heels
9. Maintain a well-stocked bar
10. Have curly hair
11. Learn to drive stick (I’m cheating with this one, because I already can. But it was on my mental to-do list for such a long time before I did it so I feel like it counts.)
12. Wear makeup every day for a month
13. Go to Turkey
14. Launch [secret project]
15. Have a weekly column (I have one now, I would like another)
16. Have a regular once a week drinks-after-work group
17. Speak at a conference (I’ve done this, I want to do it again)
18. Give a keynote speech
19. Take voice lessons
20. Buy & wear a bikini that I love
21. Get five new different kinds of dishes (as many as I can of each kind, it doesn’t matter if it’s two or ten)
22. Find a way to eat raw fruits & vegetables without getting sick (right now I get really sick when I eat about 90% of the fruits and vegetables in the world. It makes me sad.)
23. Become the VP of something
24. Volunteer with a hospice organization
25. Launch a proper real-name professional website

That IS a good list. I want to make one too but I’m pretty sure it will be lame.
