101 things in 1001 days

I stumbled across this from Goobie yesterday, and it inspired me to do my own. I'm so bad at follow-through that this may be just what I need. My 1001 days will expire on Christmas Day of 2009.

If I tackle half of the things on my list, I'll feel pretty darn good. If I manage 75 of them, I think I'll feel like I'm really living my life. And if I do 95 or more, I'll know I'm really taking charge and making things happen. And that's saying something, for a slacker like me.

Phew! It was hard to come up with all of those! I'm sure I'm missing something huge that I've always wanted to do, but that's okay. This list will suffice.

If there's no star, it's something I've never done before.
* Things I've done, but they are simple to do. I don't do them often enough.
** Things I've done, but it's been a VERY long time (IMO) or will take some real effort to do again.
