So I am pretty sure most of you know what 101 in 1001 is all about, but if you don't it is where you complete 101 items--whether they be goals, task, attitudes, or adventures--in 1001 days.
Why am I doing this??? Well I got the idea from katie -- my boyfriends sister-- and thought it would be a good challenge and way to allow me to have fun, as well as try things I have wanting to be getting around to anyway. I like list, I like plans, and I like stucture so a 101 in 1001 challenge will help me get around to them. I am going to blog about my completion of each task and would love to read your comments and thoughts.
My 101 in 1001 adventure begins here.
