my 101 (an update)

This is what is left of my 101 in 1001. You can click the link at the top of the blog to see the full list and the things I have already done. I would link it here, but I am lazy:)

The new year has renewed my want to knock some of the things off of this list. As I read over what is left, I know that a good bit of it won’t be accomplished, but I also see so many things I can do. (And this week for that matter!) I have about 9 months or so to see what I can get done. Last year I grew a person in nine (ten) months… surely this year I can meet a couple of measly life goals! Some of them are laughable because there will be no way in hell I can get them done, but others are super simple and will be easy to mark off. Some I am in the midst of doing now. My sweet little man takes up 100% of my time and I am ok with that. If nothing gets done on this list, I think I might be ok with the failure!
