sleepy, contentEmma finally tempted me in to doing this. At first I thought, since I'm already doing the 100 Books/25,000 Pages in a year the 100 Books Club is doing, it might be overdoing it with the 100 or 101 idea. But I've been mulling it over most of the afternoon, and...why not? This 101 Things in 1001 Days could be fun. And hey, I could learn new things and stumble across other new opportunities like the project Determined To VOTE! It could help me become more driven or goal-oriented, more well-rounded and a better person, really. So, I'm a-goin' for it.
My List:
1) Lose 25-30lbs
