My 3 goals in life as a young teenager were to:
1) be a sandwich artist (i.e. work at Subway)… seriously. You can see how I had a no-nonsense business mind from the start! I have since abandoned this lofty goal.
2) go to Scotland/Ireland… I can’t remember which one. “Check!” to Scotland, though
3) see Loch Ness… I have no idea why I didn’t just combine this one with the goal to go to Scotland. Anyway, when we went to Scotland last year we unfortunately did not swing up north to visit Nessie. Guess I’ll have to leave that one on the old “to-do” list
Anyway, here’s the rest of the meme I copied:
