Funkyness and lists

It's no secret to those close to me that I have been in somewhat of a funky mood lately...(we all go through it) I can't explain the funk. Nothing specific happened to make me funky. (and i don't consider hormones specific!)
I even think the great cosmos have picked up on my funkyness; this was my horoscope this morning:  "In an effort to maintain peace and keep everything on an even keel you've neglected your desires for the sake of pleasing someone else. Making compromises for others can be noble, but it may never get you exactly what you want. This is time to be more agressive in your pursuit of love."

I am the Queen of compromise! And I do tend to put others first before me thus neglecting my wants sometimes. I'm a people pleaser, most of the time.

So I decided that I want to turn around the funk and make a "bucket list" for the things I want. This is more of a 'things to do in a year' instead of before I die kind of list. (SHOCKINGY! another post with a list in it. I did say that I make lists  A LOT!)  I was inspired by Molly at Stilettos and Diapers. She has a 101 in 1001 list, which is do 101 things in 1001 days.
