Ok, I'm putting up a list of 101 things I want to accomplish in 1001 days. I learned about this through two friends of mine (who've put up their own lists) and it inspired me to do the same.
While I am a focused person, having a deadline helps to direct me towards a goal. If I don't self-impose one, I tend to flail around and not get much done.
So, in the interest of self-interest and with my happiness in mind, I am putting this out there. I'm excited and nervous and looking most forward to getting to "cross things off the list" as I accomplish them. Look for updates as they happen.
As always, I love and adore you, my friends. Thank you.

I will be more than willing to help you with some of these.
By the way: THAT FONT IS HUUUUUGE!
102: make font smaller
Thanks for your support Wolter.
As far as the font goes, you and Gene can both bite me. I enjoy the large font. DEAL with it.
I have dealt with it. Both emotionally and physically.
I have come to an understanding with the font. We're meeting for brunch this Tuesday.
