List of Twenty-Four

I recently discovered the charming blog of a graphic designer in NYC.  Oh so lovely and inspiring.  Makes me want to move to New York reeeeal bad. (I think secretly since I saw You've Got Mail when I was like 10, I've wanted to move to New York and eat bagels and drink Starbucks hot chocolate and live in a cute little apartment and buy over-priced childrens books, and sometimes that desire still pops up with random encouragement from such things as cute blogs...)  I was particularly inspired by an idea for her most recent updates.  She's been doing these "Lists of Thirty"--I think because she recently turned thirty--these lists included "Favorite Things to Eat in NYC", "Things I Learned in my 20's", etc...

So it got me thinking, I recently turned 24, and I LOVE lists.  They're rather organized, but still this wonderful modge-podge of lots of different and wonderful things.  (Okay, so maybe my gargantuan, weekly list of "to-do's" for each week is not exactly loaded with wonderful things, but the wonder is scattered throughout amidst lots of "must-dos'"... I still love it all the same, and would not accomplish much without this list)  So I thought I'd do my own versions as posts; Lists of Twenty Four.  And here's #1.

Quote of the day: "And behold, I prepare you against these things; for ye cannot cross this great deep save I prepare you against the waves of the sea, and the winds which have gone forth, and the floods which shall come.  Therefore what will ye that I should prepare for you that ye may have light when ye are swallowed up in the depths of the sea?" Ether 2:25
