All very good lists. I'm just working on my list of what I want to do before I'm 30... so far the list has 3 things on it. 3 things in the next year and a half isn't so bad, right?

Oh dear, I could list off of your lists all night my dear. BUT I think I will leave it to the following all purpose list:
Portana's top 10 things on her brain:
10. I have a bad attitude about being in Kalispell--P's mental attitude thing is correct, need to change attitude.
9. I hate shopping in Billings, it doesnt have ANY of my favorite stores (must get to big city soon-Need Express store stat!)
8. I want to travel to about 5 different places before I die (Washington DC, France, England, Germany, and a tropical island of some sort).
7. I am hoping the white sox win the series--it aint the cubs, but close enough.
6. I have a ton of things to do tonight--need to work on that whole procrastination thing.
5. I think I am too easy going--prime example. Elevator is broken at my hotel. I am on the top floor--I could have asked for a room on the 1st floor but I went "eh" and took the room assigned. Lugging my suitcase up the stairs sucked.
4. I wonder if Tech is missing me?
3. I wonder if I could live in Bozeman MT?
2. How bad did I go off budget for the month of October (again, budget=ass).
1. If it wasnt for P, I would never ponder things--thank goodness for his lists!

ugjwr=ugly jewler? Thats all I got.
