Let the ambitious list begin.

So. I decided to try this whole thing out - 101 things in 1001 days. I had started a list a few months ago, but the stuff on there wasn't meaningful enough for me to do...so I quit. Now, I've actually completed the list and can't wait to get started.

I'm starting my list on 10.1.09 and will be done by 06.28.12...that seems so far away, but I know it isn't.
