101 in 1001

a few days ago - i was blog stalking [as always] and stumbled across yet another project that has inspired me! i believe the exact title is called 'the day zero project' but its commonly referred to as '101 in 1001'. what this means is pretty simple ... make a list of 101 things that you'd like to do/see/accomplish in 1001 days! so, basically it's like a 'bucket list' but short term. 1001 days gives you almost THREE years to achieve your set goals. imagine the accomplishment you would feel once you've completed?! ah, i can't HELP but be inspired. i mean maybe i'm a sucker for things like this - but i don't understand how people can find out about this and NOT participate?!
i have been working on my list for a few days and have finally completed it! i can't waiiiiiit to start crossing things off my list! :)

for anyone who wants to check out the website -

i intend on finding some sort of countdown/ticker to put on here to keep track of the days - but, lets just say that starting day is today - May 5, 2010 - cinco de mayooooo! i can't wait to see if i can cross off all 101 things in 1001 days!
so that means i am scheduled to finish Jan 30, 2013 [which just so happens to be my hubby's 29th birthday!]
