52 Weeks

My bestie and I are bringing in the new year with a new type of excitement. We've created (well, we've made our own of an idea we've stolen from others, HA!) the project of "52 Weeks". Once a week for a year we will try something we've never done before, document it, and then...who knows-be in the final episode of Oprah? Just kidding, we'd prefer the Today Show.


Here is my list I may choose from each week (there are extras in the list, fyi):
