I recently learned about the 101 in 1001 list. I love the idea as I am a list person. The idea is that I will complete these 101 items within 1001 days. Some are easy, some are not. I began this on Feb 1st and just completed compiling the list today. The items in light blue are in progress. The items in orange are complete as of today. A few won't make much sense to you, but rest assured that I know what they mean. Many are related to cleaning the house since I do so poorly at it. I also tried to think of any incomplete projects that need to be finished. Additionally, I drink far too much soda and my goal is to stop all together. I have gained a lot of weight recently and soda is the last major dietary problem I have been holding on to. If you are curious about any, ask and I will tell you more.
