101 in 1001



I was intrigued and really wanted to give making a list of my own a shot, but was reluctant for a  couple of reasons. 1.) How in the mess am I ever going to think of 101 things I want to do?!?! Turns out that that was the easy part! 2.) 1,001 days of dedication to a single goal: Completing the list. I've never had 1,001 days of dedication to anything! My A.D.D. kicks in and I throw in the towel.
