My 101 things to do in 1001 days...

Feb 2011- Time to go thru and see where I am standing on my list of things to accomplish!!! 84 more to go!


I heard about doing this back in January, and on the dreadful website Facebook, I actually started this as a note. As you can tell, I have not got very far. But now that people can only read this if I share the website, or if they follow one of my followers, I think I don't mind sharing. I am starting this list on Friday, April 16, 2010. It will be finished when it is posted, lets just hope it is today. So starting it today, means I have to accomplish these things by Friday, January 11, 2013. ( go to http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadded.html?m1=4&d1=16&y1=2010&type=add&ay=&am=&ad=1001&aw= to find your day 1001)  But this is hard and I challenge every one of you reading to do the same. Just make sure you share it with someone, somehow so that you get that reminder to DO them!!!!  So here it goes!!!!


UPDATE: It is now the first day of fall, and not spring anymore. Somehow I managed to skip summer months and in turn have not updated this list, or finished. Just so you are aware though, I have stopped up to this point at 49. I am now on a mission to try to complete this.
