2013 To Do List

OK! This is the be-all and end-all of telling you what I'm planning to do BUT by virtue of its nature, a to do list requires planning. And this is the last time I'm going to mention any of these things in the aspect of intention and will only mention them in the future to report that I'm presently doing them. Make sense? Ok!
