A list of Epic Proportions

I love making lists; to do lists, things to do before I am 30, new years resolutions- you get the point. Well this one list caught my attention and I haven't been able to shake it. Then wishcake did it and well I would love to be cool enough to be like her. A new blogger, SoxyLady, that I just started reading did the list as well.

So I couldn't help myself and started making my list, my 101 things in 1001 days. If you want to read the thought behind this list project and the rules go here.

(so I am a nerd and used a random number generator to mix up my 101 things so they really have no rhyme or reason)
