So.
I know a lot of people have made a 101 in 1001 list. And in the beginning, I just wanted to make one, too.
I started devising my plan in October. I got to sixty-something, and I ran out of ideas and decided to come back to it.
Yeah. I didn't.
Nothing had gotten done.
I've figured out that sometimes I need a project to hold myself accountable. Plus, what better way to document my 101 in 1001 than to dedicate a post to each one?
Some may be harder than others, but by golly, I'm willing to give it a shot.
So ... without further ado ...
