Here is my list for 52 things to do in 2012. If you'd like to make a list and keep me and others updated on your progress, please feel free to link up. I plan to check in weekly and provide a link so that you can check in as well. Hopefully the link at the bottom will work.
If you can't come up with 52 things (I'm struggling), feel free to come up with a different number and link up anyway.
I'm hoping that having others join me will give me the encouragement (push) I need to get more done than last year. (I think I completed 19 out of the 52 (36% -- that would be great in baseball, not so much in the rest of the world but I'll try and do better this year).)

Wonderful list, except for the 6 inch heels. That one definitely would not be on my list!
WTG making your list already I have been jotting mine down in my phone. I just got back to Indy and will have to blog it tomorrow I think.
Im still working on my list and may just have to steal some inspiration from yours !
I dont know if I'll be able to make 52 goals ...I'll aim for 25 . (Some of mine are year long goals so surely that counts as multiples)
If you tell me when you're going to do your pyjama day I'll do it with you too and we can Skype !
I must have missed this. I like your 52 things in 2012. I'll have to think about it and see if I can make a list.
