101 Things in 1001 Days

Wanna know what I've been doing instead of blogging? I've been working on this list of 101 Things to Do in 1001 Days, which I'm starting today. I'm pretty pumped! One goal I am starting on immediately is #23: Read 50 books in a year. I'll post and update the list of books I plan to read (you may notice there's a lot of reading goals in my list). If you want to make your own list, go to this website and learn all about the Day Zero Project. I'm pretty pumped by the whole thing!
