101 Things

I found this great website the other day where you can together a list of 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days. I've decided that one of my big problems is that I don't have any goals to strive for. Anyway, this is my official (but running) list. Clearly it it was more difficult than I thought to come up with a list of 101 things. If anyone out there has any additional suggestions, please let me know!

Also, I would just like to give a little shout out to Laura from the blog "A Little Coffee with my Cream and Sugar" formerly known as "From Sparkly to Single" who has shown me that everyone can manage to come of out a crappy situation on top-- and who I stole this idea from.

Project guidelines can be found here if you are interested in creating your own list.
