What is "scary" about this list? Well, there's the obvious reasoning that it's 33 CHALLENGES. It is only January 9th, and I'm signed up for 33 Challenges. And then there is the less-obvious but nevertheless true fact that I will probably join even more challenges as the year progresses!!! And then there is the distinct possibility (almost a promise) that I will want to HOST more challenges later in the year. :)
