I’m a blog stalker. Have I mentioned that before? I probably have. I read a whole bunch of blogs and set up my iGoogle with all of the RSS feeds so I can keep up with who has and who has not updated. All this to say: I stealing an idea from a blog that I stalk. Happily I can say it’s someone I know! Kate is an amazing photographer I used to work with when she was still in college (and we called her Katie) and working part time at my still-current place of employ. You should definitely check out her site here!
So, the other day, Kate wrote a blog titled 101 in 1001. She got the idea from someone else and now I’m stealing it, too! It’s an interesting idea, almost like a bucket list but instead of it being a list of things to do before you die, it’s a list of 101 things you want to do in the next 1,001 days! INTENSE!
Since my starting date is today, I want finish doing this list of 101 things by November 20, 2012.
Some of these I have a lot of control over, some are really up to God… but I would like for all of these to happen =o)

You know, you could do 5,6, and 22 in one fell swoop.
Also, I would gleefully participate in 9, 20, 34, 41, 42, 43, 52, 53, 57, 58, 59, 68, 82, 89, 100, and 101. Just sayin'.
that was my thought too... about 5,6 & 22!! and for 9, we could take care of 12, maybe!
I changed #18
Hope #17 doesn't work out
Guess who?
I know you don't, but you'll still love me, right mom? (or dad... I'm guessing mom)
Love you!
You know why you're so much better than me? Because I started one of these 2 months ago. I think I'm going to list number one as "Actually finish my 101 in 1001."
This was really awesome! I think I'll have to do one myself! You've inspired me!
I love this! I think I shall ponder something similar.
MayB get the tattoo after U R out of Debt. I love doing budgets, so if U need any help, let me know.
I need to ring U, I have some questions, will think of all I have to ask and then give U a ring.
@Emma - Do one!! i'm already excited and enjoying it... I've checked one thing off and somehow it was a sense of accomplishment (I'll be checking off another on ethis weekend =oD) It's so much fun!
@Madonna - Give me a call whenever you'd like! If for some reason I don't answer, I'll call back! Oh, and I'll actually be out of debt next month, but thanks =o)
Joy, Not sure which plan U R following but....
May I suggest $1000 in an emergency fund, then when the tires on a car need replacning or some part goes out, U do not have to charge it, and 6-9 months of yur bills saved N case U loose yur job.
Congrats!!!
How did I JUST see that you posted the link to your 101! Thank you for the shoutout! So excited you are doing this too. Can't wait to see how many of these we complete.
I'd be happy to help with 97 and 98! I love any excuse to go to the Brookfield Zoo. :O)
I love reading your blog and checking out your awesome pics. Keep it up!
I'll definitely keep it in mind, Andrea!! I'm hoping for the zoo next spring or summer... I somehow miss it =o) I suppose Brookfield just has SO many awesome memories...
I absolutely LOVE your list! What a great idea!!
