Introducing the Magic List

My name is Kristen and I make lists. As an unemployed recent graduate, listing is a full-time occupation. I have decided to publish my summer list of things I want to do between May and September 2011. In this blog I will report my progress on completing the following 50 tasks. It will be magical.
