Recently my girlfriend told me about creating something called "101 things to do in 1001 Days". I had never heard of it before, but apparently many other people have and decide to share their thoughts on their own blog.
With the New Year quickly approaching people are starting to think of resolutions. I don't know about you, but I have never been successful at sticking to my New Year's resolution. I guess it depends on what it is, but I think it is hard to narrow yourself down to just one thing. That is why I am a fan of this 101 things idea.
By posting this list you get to see the kinds of things I am personally interested in accomplishing over the next little while and well.... for myself it is a lil' reminder to keep motivated.
**There is a link on the right side of the page that will enable you to see if and when I was successful at completing any OR all of my 101 things**

I really love the idea of the list. Especially because once you write it down- you are more likely to committ to your goals! #26 is totally done so you can check it off! We framed one of your pictures and are giving it to our family as a gift for x-mas! Ohhh and I can totally cover #60. I own Anne of Green Gables and it is my favorite movie (seriously)! I will lend it to you if you would like or better yet I can torture you and we can watch all 4 hours together one day in 2008!
wow. How did you think of all those things...
Awesome! Can't wait to see the "checked off" list. Especially when you meet bebe Kientopp!
