Aka the Mandi Life List (I was using #lifelist but that is overrun with stuff, so I am switching to #TheMandiList), not so much a bucket list, this list is about living while I am alive, not what I want to do before I die.<\/p>\n

I may have an incurable form of breast cancer (Stage IV metastatic breast cancer), but I am going to see the world, enjoy the little things (and BIG things). I found a list online<\/a> as inspiration (some may be borrowed), and I figure it will add some flavor to add some interesting life goals (and make for some interesting Saturday afternoons) I will check off and report back as I accomplish my list on this breast cancer blog. I will also add ideas to my list as the come up.<\/p>\n
