In September I started drafting my Mighty Life List. It explains why unlimited fried shrimp at the Sizzler made the list, though I’m not sure why fried foods would ever need an explanation.
It’s in no particular order and subject to additions:
Go to Hawaii(done 10/10!)-
Unlimited fried shrimp at The Sizzler(done 11/2011) - Take tap dancing lessons
- Spend an entire day making bolognese and homemade pasta, drinking wine, and watching The Godfather 1&2 with friends (I did something similar once and it was awesome).
Go to Italy(just done 09/11! ohmygod!)- Visit New York City
