The journey begins

I have officially finalized my list of 101 things to accomplish in 1001 days.  I suppose I started the list and started working on Jan 1st, but I am going to start my 1001 days today.  This is because I have 3 goals, I think, that I'm going to try to accomplish daily, and while the 1st would have been more appropriate probably, some of them I didn't add to the list until yesterday, and I would be sad to fall short right at the beginning.  Anyway, here goes.....101 of my goals.

  2. beautiful list! Good luck with it! I know I don't know you, but it seems as if you have pretty obtainable goals!! The composting idea is really cool, and since I have baby on the brain- the basal body temp charting is cool too!

  3. holy moly lady!!!
    that is quite the list!
    if you accomplish even half of it you should be proud, but i'm sure you will do even better than that!
    i'm contemplating doing something like this... looking at a list like that kind of stresses me out and makes me start hyperventilating but i think the help focussing on what i really want to accomplish would help, lol.
    yikes!

  4. OK - does the spending a night with the kids mean my kids & a date night for me and Jade?

    Also - prison teacher - seriously?!? I hope you plan on teaching women, because I don't think men inmates will learn anything because they will stare at the twins you are packing!
