I'm going to have my start day be today, which is 9/18/2009.  That makes day 1001-- 6/14/2012.





I'm going to post about each one of my goals, so I might as well start with the one I just finished:


3. Compile all 101 things.  


I don't have too much to say about completing this one except that I'm excited to do some of the things on this list.  I will check back and post about each one I complete or have partially completed since some have more than one task.  No to strike out my 1st completed goal!
