101 in 1001 days

I was reading Get In My Belly the other day and I saw the post on 101 in 1001 days. Basically it is a list of 101 things (some are repeated multiple times during the challenge) to do in 1001 days. After reading through the entire list I decided that I had to steal the idea because I love to have goals to work towards and writing lists is probably one of my favourite past times. I am starting the challenge on Wednesday, the 11th of March, which means the last day of the challenge is December 6, 2011. So without further ado...
