Thirty-two by 32

I've been thinking about challenging myself to accomplish certain things for a while. With all the goings on in my personal life it's been too easy to spend day after day watching paint dry and the seconds tick away without being motivated to do much of anything. I've finally decided to push myself to get back in the swing of things and I came up with the following list. Most lists that I've seen on other blogs are 'thirty by 30' lists but given that I passed the 30 milestone a few months ago, I figured I'd give myself a realistic time-frame and thus came up with a 'Thirty-two by 32' list. Here's hoping I actually accomplish most of these tasks by my deadline.
