Maybe you don't care. But I think you might. And if you don't, I'll just pretend like you do.

So this year, in addition to a few well thought out and planned New Year's Resolutions, I made a list of 101 things I want to do, see, accomplish, or experience in the next 1001 days. I know! It's ca-razy huh! But I saw this on another blog (Sorry. I can't for the life of me remember where.) and I thought it looked like an amazing thing to try ... I mean, do.
