The Archies: The Top 51 Things in the World (2007)
Last year Donna started something she dubbed The Archies. I played along and kept this year's list in the back of my mind through 2007. (Unfortunately I didn't have the sense to write things down as the year progressed.) The beauty of this is that it encourages remembering the kind of stuff that enriches your life.
Donna has already posted her 2007 Archies and the rules, so check out her picks and list your own on your blog.
With no further ado, I announce my 2007 Archies, The Top 51 Things in the World.

I am utterly amazed at your organized posts lately! They must be a lot of work but they're fun reading! I wish I could manage half of what you do!
Glad to see Tim Tams made it on your list!!
The accomplishments/resolutions posts weren't too bad time-wise because I'd kept track through the year. The Archies probably took about three hours to compile and then track down links. Glad you liked it!
Alphabetical even! So glad to see this appear. Yes, the linkifying is the most time-consuming part, but it makes the list for the reader, I have to say.
Get yourself a sticky note or a Google Doc or a Backpack list or something, and start putting down stuff for next year ...
You noticed! Yes, my predisposition to structure/order meant I had to alphabetize.
Makes sense to have an online planner of some sort since I'm now using a physical one. How did I ever get by without it?
