101 in 1001

I like to make lists so I can cross off the things I've accomplished.  Don't get me wrong, lists are a great way to stay organized and keep my brain from exploding but there's something about crossing things off.  I love feeling like I've gotten something done and that I'm closer to the goal of being done.

It's in that spirit that I've created a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days.  I got the idea from another blogger and there are tons of people doing it at the Day Zero Project.  Maybe crossing things off lists is something humans like to do, I don't know.  But I've joined the masses in this project.  And you might be thinking I'm crazy (I married a man who works in a metal tube that submerges in water...we already knew I was crazy!) but I think it will be fun to do these things and cross them off the list!

Here's what you do:  create a list of 101 measurable, clearly defined tasks and try to achieve them in 1001 days (2.75) years.

Start Date:  July 18, 2010

End Date: April 14, 2013

Update 09.02.10
I've changed 3 of the items on the list due to my husband admitting he is an alcoholic.  Since I don't want to be a hindrance to his sobriety, I am changing those items that we should no longer do.  They are now underlined.

Yes, they are in alphabetical order (Thank you Excel!) cause they are easier to read that way.  I'll be keeping you updated as I do them.  If you'd like to help with any of them, please let me know!
