101 in 1001

i spend a LARGE amount of time on google reader. this we know. and sometimes, in reading blogs, little overlaps happen. either between bloggers...where they mention one another or they mention similar things. sometimes, certain ideas, themes or designs keep popping up. i love when this happens. here is how i came to the idea for my 101 in 1001 days. i started reading melissajill. i don't remember how i got there. she mentioned a 101 in 1001. then i was reading jessicaclaire. she mentioned her 101 in 1001. then i was reading bobbi+mike (who are rad) and they mentioned gail (who is darling) and she mentioned her 101 in 1001 which was also inspired by melissajill. then, dear jules did a 30 before 30, which because of, i got to partake in some really great SF weather and chocolate. so, i put them all together, and have been compiling this list since september.

so, here are 101 things i'm going to complete in the next 1001 days...which will be on october 1, 2013. (i think, but don't check my math) some of you know my silly fascination with dates, and well, i'm tickled because i really like this date. this happens to be a tuesday, and i will be 30 years old.
