I like this idea, but I would probably not do things that I have to do every week so many times cuz if I miss one week, then I cannot check it off. 101 things would be hard to come up with though. Blogging on this reminds me of the previews for the movie Julia and Julie (which I REALLY want to see).
ooh yeah she cooked every recipe in the cookbook. That was originally a blog.
Well I am shooting for the stars and hoping to get it 3/4 of the time. It’s more of a weight loss thing. 😀
I got a lot of ideas from checking out all the other lists on dayzeroproject.com. Because hey – coming up with 101 things is difficult. Best of luck with your list!
