October will be here before I know it - I figured I might as well do a once over of the list!!
Thanks to
Molly I have decided to do my own 101 Things...
The mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The criteria: The tasks must be specific (no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined.
Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (represent some amount of effort on your part).

End Date: October 2, 2012
