  • 101 THINGS TO COMPLETE IN 1001 DAYS

    My Marxy friend Melly posted this mission on her facebook! I thought it was a cool idea - sort of a "Bucket List" (you know... things you want to accomplish before you kick the bucket) with a twist. This is a mission to complete these 101 things in 1001 days. You know, it wasn't easy to come up with 101 things, given the time frame. I sort of have a "bucket list", but not everything fits in that timeframe. So anyway... here is my list. I tag everybody who would like to participate. No pressure... LOL! I know life gets in the way. It'll be hard for me with the move and all... but I'm gonna try!

    Check back here for progress reports. My mission starts on 1/12/2009 and ends on 10/12/2011

  • This is so cool.. I would love to do this but I think it's too much thinking I'd never finish in 1001 days.. LMAO!!

  • Haha I thought of 40 things! Woot! Then my brain started hurting.

  • @thefoursome - 

    Hahaaaa.. believe me .... this list didn't get written in one sitting down. I thought of some and wrote them down... then went back to do something else. Everytime I thought of something I put it on. It took me all day yesterday to come up with that! It's not easy. Did you write yours down though? Cuz you can probably come up with some more and make it!

    Technically I inspired you to think about it, at least, right?
