Inspired by fellow bloggettes I've decided to jump on the bandwagon and create my own list of 101 things to complete in 1001 days.
The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).
Here goes my list of 101 things in 1001 days

On a side note: I really can't figure out why it would ever be a good idea to get in a basket and let a balloon fly you thousands of feet into the air but people seem to talk highly of it)

With everything else, you may want to do #21 last, if you really want the pet to live.
Be careful making you own wine. Well, actually drinking it. Word to the wise - never a good idea to finish the bottle by yourself. Nothing good will come of it. :)
I'm quite new to living in a less than functional family, and the 'awkward meeting' I was anticipating never happened, but I will say this ...
Learn from what life teaches you, confront every problem head-on, make the most of something that might only happen to you every 22 years.
And if you dont like that advice, then I find that one or more of the following always helps break the ice:
1. drink a bunch of heinekens
2. announce that you're pregnant
3. book a fat-o-gram in a g-string to come do a tabledance at the restaurant (will at least make everyone else uncomfortable too).
Good luck with the choice you make and let us all know how it goes ...
I think there would be several more 'awkward meetings' after that if I had to announce that I was pregnant. :)
Ok, now lets talk about the nude beach! First there was join is, then sleep on this beach, then a picnic, were all these in the nude I am wondering? Hmmmmm...
I would like to learn to surf with you!!! But no to sky diving! You should be able to sew on a button young lady! ta ta Betsy
