101 in 1000 challenge

Take part in 

I am taking part in a challenge. If you want to take part to, all you have to do is think up 101 tasks that you would really like to do in the next 1001 days.

This project is the brainchild of Sarah Sarsm at: http://sarsm.wordpress.com/ and Tilly at http://thelaughinghousewife.wordpress.com/. Their badge for the project can be copied and pasted at this link: http://sarsm.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/101in1001_194.png

If you decide to join the project, let go to the sarsm link, and let her know through her contact form. We are a community—and that way we can support each other with our tasks.

All of that being said, I am beginning to compile MY list of 101 tasks. I will update my list as I add to it and as I complete the tasks.
