The Project List - Revisited

I, like many of you, enjoy crossing things off of my to-do list. I posted this original list at the end of January and haven't looked at it since. I have most of it in my head thought it would be fun to go back through it and see what I could check off. I'm started to lose steam, so I'm hoping this will help motivate me to keep with it.
