22 Accomplishments

 I got this idea from a friend, but I'm modifying it :)  I have created a list of things to do by the end of the year.  And because this is my 22nd year, I am going to [try] to accomplish 22 tasks.  Some of them are real things I'd like to accomplish, while others (most of them) are just fun things to try or do.  Stay tuned for updates!

1.  Make dinner for a family who is going through a tough time. (January 22, 2011)

  Here is the list I've read so far:
    1.  Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin (I love this author!  She is one of my favorites.  I've read every single book by her.)
    2. Between Sisters by Kristin Hannah (Good, but wasn't expecting the last last twist.  Hit a little close to home.)
22.  Watch every movie that made 'Best Picture' in the Oscars.
 Here is the list: I've marked off the ones I've already seen.  There are a few that I've already seen, but I need a refresher before I check them off the list.  (Too bad, I could cross off anther 6 movies...)
