Remember that 101 List?

Back in May 2009, I made a 101 things to do in 1,001 days list.  I’ve been able to knock off a good many things on that list, however, it unfortunately is not complete.  Out of the 101 things on the list, I was able to complete 72 of them.  Not too bad considering that some of the items I put on my list required travel and a significant portion of money and time off work (I wasn’t thinking about that factor when I made the list).  Once I got pregnant, my 101 list got put on the backburner a bit and it became difficult to mark items off when we were preparing to have a baby. However, the things that I didn’t complete on the list are all still things I want to complete (with exception to a few which I removed), therefore I plan to roll them onto a new 101 list and add more realistic things as well.  My original 101 list doesn’t technically expire until February 15, 2012 but given that this date is only a mere 3 weeks away and I can barely leave the house with a one month old, I doubt I’ll be marking anything off that list in the next 21 days.  Therefore, I will go ahead and begin my new list.  This list will have all the items I didn’t complete from the old list (minus the ones I’m not interested in anymore) as well as new items, many of which may be baby related.  And this list expires on October 22, 2014.  Without further ado, here is my 101 List - Part Two (items marked with an * are rolled from the previous list):
