101 in 1001

Anyone ever heard of 101 things to do in 1001 days?  My friend Paula created a list a while ago and I loved the idea so much, I created my own!  These things had to be specific and not just something like- get in shape.  It was really hard coming up with 101 things!  I thought I'd list them here and blog about them as I go through the list.  I'm also going to try and make a tab thingy under my header, but I'm just getting used to Blogger and sometimes don't know what I'm doing!  Anyway, here is my list:
