So, I've been contemplating doing this ever since I saw it on Sticky Feather's blog. Since I consider myself the queen of all to-do lists, it seemed right up my alley. 101 Things to do in 1001 days! Fits right in with my propensity for lists and procrastination! Whoo Hoo!
Can I just say here and now that it was not easy to come up with those 101 things! I felt I needed to put some time and thought into each item, and limit the frivolous things where I could. Some of these, now that I look at them, are a little, shall we say, immeasurable? And some of my goals are really, really lofty. I mean, I haven't managed to do some of these things in the past five years, why on earth do I think I'll get them done in the next two and three quarters years?
Well, for one, having a printed list is like a dare to me. And I love dares. So I'm daring myself to do all of these things in the next 1001 days (complete by June 26, 2011 - hopefully much, much sooner!).

Wow, that's some list! I'd start one, too, but I'm afraid I'd totally forget about getting any of it done with the day to day life of being a new mom. Though, maybe it'll be motivational...
Anyway, you can probably cross of meeting a blogger friend in person sooner than most of the rest. We live in the same city! Heck, I just saw the banner for Dinoland while driving up MoPac North on my way to the chiropractor. Looks like fun!!! :)
