Drum roll, please...

So I think I'm finally ready to publicize the list I referred to in previous posts... Again, gotta give props to my friend Marcie and her fantastic wedding photographer and friend Amelia for passing this idea along. Not only did it help me think about where I'd like my life to go over the next few years, I was inspired by their lists to add some things I wouldn't have thought of myself. Some of these things are just silly, but a lot of them have been on my back-burner-to-do list or my one-day-dreams list for awhile. Hopefully setting them out here with a general "due date," if you will, will help me accomplish them.

Even though I'm just posting this list today, my Day 1 of 1001 was February 19, 2010- the first Friday Dance Off post (#23) and I calculated that my Day 1001 would be December 10, 2012 (someone may want to check my math). I can check off #62 as of Saturday when my mom brought six of my old prom/formal dresses to a formalwear charity drive at the Summit. A few I couldn't part with just yet (my one-shoulder purple beaded senior prom dress isn't going anywhere anytime soon), but donating six is progress :) I'd post pictures, but don't have time to dig though scrapbooks and scan this morning ... Anesthesia Careplan #2 is due in an hour... this post is just a break so I can look over it one more time before I submit the thing... and I still have to get ready for seminar.

Anyway, I hope at least a few of you will consider taking on this project and make a list of your own. Happy planning and please feel free to comment on whether or not you think I will actually do these things or add your own (REALISTIC) challenges for me :)
