101(Ish) In 1001
At first I had as part of my list "see the pyramids in Egypt". But when I had added everything that I could possibly think of and was still only at 60-something, I started adding things like "plan trip to Egypt". Upon seeing this, my witty husband said "why don't you just go ahead and add "return from trip to Egypt. That way you've got all your bases covered!". And ultimately, he was right.
Side note to that: my husband thinks the whole list thing is silly. Just like I think all his video games and obsessive lembaga reading are silly. But so is the nature of our relationship: "whatever makes you happy dear". Jokes on him though because about half of the list requires various degrees of work on his part. Like #39. Who do you think is going to be climbing on the roof to hang those Christmas lights? Hint: it's not me.
I digress.
Back to my point, I decided it was better to have a list that was too short rather than a list half full of things I pulled out of my ass. So, I'm just going to leave a few spots open that I'll fill in at a near point in the future (hopefully). Because let's be honest, the second I hit publish on this little list, I'll instantly think of a million awesome things to add. So, I'll just be ready with a few empty spots.
So, be prepared, because you're going to be hearing a lot more about these 101(ish) things over the next couple years.
You can see a copy of my list here but I've also got it linked at the top of my blog so you can keep up with my progress. Because, I know how anxious you are to see me travel to Egypt and throw a birthday party for my dogs, admit it :)
