And the results of this year's Bucket List are...

As 2010 winds to a close, I'm having to face the fact that I did not, in fact, accomplish all of the items on my bucket list for this year. Which is disappointing...but...not the end of the world. I certainly did more of these (sometimes silly and random) things than I would have done had I not bothered to write a list, so all in all, this was a successful endeavor. And, for many of the things I wasn't able to do this year, there's always 2011...which is approaching with incredible rapidity. So, I'll compose a new list...copy some 2010 tasks...come up with some new ideas as well...and we'll see how 2011 goes!

Here's what I did accomplish (or have begun working on, in some cases) from my 2010 list:

Have the Anne of Green Gables party part 2
Braid Birdie's hair on a fairly regularly basis
Learn about and put into practice what it means to be a godly/biblical woman
