101 Things in 1001 Days

This post is entirely inspired by Mackenzie Horan of Design Darling.  I read her 101 Things in 1001 Days post a few days ago, and I was inspired to write my own.  In fact, I tweeted her and told her that based upon her list, I thought we'd be great friends... I never said I wasn't accidentally creepy with enthusiasm.  Believe me, things can get real weird.

Ah, I digress... Without further ado, here is my list:

Here's what I learned by writing this list... It's hard to put your finger on 101 things you want to do in the somewhat near future, but when you do, it's incredibly inspiring.  Like right now for example, I don't want to go to bed, I want to cross something off my list!  Anyway, tomorrow begins my journey, why don't you start yours, too?
