Miss Zoot posted her list of 101 Things in 1001 Days a long time ago. As soon as I read it, I wanted to do it. I started a list (and like so many other things did not finish it). Today I finished the list. I'm going to document this whole thing on the blog. I can't wait!
I really liked the format of Miss Zoot's list. I kept the categories with just a little tweaking. I wanted things that would be easy to do and things that would be challenging. Mostly though, I wanted balance between things that would be fun, things that would help people, and things that would make me a better person. With a few challenges thrown in that are just there to challenge myself to do it.
This list will, hopefully, make me work on my little problem of follow-through. I've got 1001 days to complete all these things. And I really want to look back at the end of this and be amazed at what all I've done, not disappointed that I gave up!

Oh, my gosh! I love your list! There is a lot of fun to be had there, lots to work for and be proud of, too.
I'm excited for you.
Also, I like the idea of having something like this to help you feel like you've done something and not feel like "what happend to the past 5 years."
I also love the idea of having this to pull out when your stuck in a what do I do now rut. Which happens to me SO OFTEN!
Good Luck!! :)
