I'm Finding My 43 Things in 2006

I'm going to find my 43 Things to do in 2006.
When the new year of 2006 hits, my list will be published. Yes, at midnight, EST. As I am a procrastinator, I will hopefully have this list finished by then. (Don't be surprised if you see "Stop Procrastinating" on the list.)
43 Things first caught my eye because its name was somewhat similar to the blog's former name of "Fifty-three More Things to Do in Zero Gravity." I finally looked into the site, and here's its self-explanation:
. . . getting your goals in writing can help you clarify what you really want to do. You might find you have some important and some frivolous goals. That is OK. You’ve got space for 43 Things on your list. Not every one of them has to change the world (but save room for the ones that might).
Not only can you create your own list, but you can also see profiles for people who share your goals. You can use these groups however you like, but in theory, you could quickly join a group of people trying to quit smoking or visit all seven continents. Alternately, you could grumble and complain alongside a group of people trying to become more cheerful.
After starting this task, I have realized that 43 things is a lot to come up with. Up to this moment, I have written down 18 items, and that's not even halfway. Partially, this is annoying because when you're publically posting your list at "43 Things," you kind of like to have . . . you guessed it! 43 Things. In addition to being annoying, it is also a relief, because I can include silly entries as well, though I hope that it will be about a 50/50 mix between serious and silly. We'll see on 1 January how it has worked itself out.
In the meantime, I will work on a separate page devoted solely to my 43 Things, and I invite you to head to 43 Things and create a list of your own! We can compare our lists at the end of 2006.
