You may (or may not) have noticed a new tab at the top of my page simply called "my list". After seeing several bloggers with their own "101 Lists", I was intrigued. I wrote a similar list to this three years ago. In fact, Sky read it on my Facebook page before we actually met, and he said reading it made him fall in love with me (aww). Many of those original items are on this new list.
Doing 101 things in 1001 days would put me at December 4, 2013. I will be marking them off as I complete each item. Being a list maker to the extreme, this fits me perfectly. I don't necessarily plan on doing every single one of them in that time frame, but they're goals nonetheless.
Lofty? Sometimes. I believe that's okay.
(For similar lists, try the Day Zero Project or 101 Goals in 1,000 Days.
I mainly got the idea from "So Wonderful, So Marvelous".)

3 kind comments from you:
You've definitely inspired me to make my own, but it will take some time to compile :) #25 and #82 are both ones I've been thinking about, but maybe putting it down in a list I'll be more likely to follow through!
I told you this already, but love it. All of these are totally do-able and great goals! I can't wait to watch your progress.
