Revisiting the 45X45

992849_534427239953606_377488782_nSince it was just my birthday this weekend, I thought now would be a great time to revisit my 45X45 list.  The last time I checked it was over two years ago!  Yikes. I don’t even remember what’s on half of it. I have a feeling I might be changing a few things up. I have about 6 years left to clear the list, so let’s see where I am.

A color legend is probably important.

RED is done.
ORANGE is working on it.
BLUE is new (replacing something else).

Well, I’ve made a few changes, obviously. Some are still long-shots, but if I don’t dream big it’ll never happen. I really need to not forget about this again. 45 is coming up faster than I care to think about.

What about you? What’s on your list?
