Yes And Yes And Again Yes

 It's been a while since I've done this so I feel like I need to reiterate the code. Anything in italics is new information on an item. I add new items on at the bottom but don't necessarily italicize them. These are things I'm interested in doing this year there may be some overlap with my Life List but they are different entities.

1. Say yes - I feel as though this has been a good month for this.

2. Buy Flash - DONE

3. Write a book - Writing many books. Might need to change this to FINISH a book to give myself the proper motivation.

4. Singing lessons regularly

5. Perform - Working on it. The venue search continues.

6. Fix house - DONE  - Although since the joint flooded recently I feel like I'm kind of having to do it all over again.

7. Commit to writing and administration work for The Women's Colony for one year (I write twice per week and have agree to set up and oversee Twitter & Facebook for the site.) - DONE, since the site has dissolved I can call it that, I guess.

15. Write a Life List (per the Maggie Mason model) - I've published this once and I know there are more things to go on it. It is In Progress, which I think is as good as done for a Life List since that's what it's supposed to be, in progress.
