A few things that I'm pretty happy about accomplishing/experiencing, even though they weren't on the list -
*grew Mineral Fusion's Facebook Fan community from 317 (in March) to 18,494 (today).
*made at least a dozen cupcake/cookie/frosting recipes that made people smile.
*visited Eataly.
*drove back from Halifax by myself (15 hours over 2 days)
*juice fasted for 10 days.

Happy Birthday to me!
