101 in 1001

I have seen these lists going around the Blogging World for a few months now. I'm not going to lie I was actually pretty intimidated to even think about making one of these lists. How silly of me! I love having things written down and I love lists. This is the perfect way for me to achieve some things that have been bouncing around my head for years. Now that I have it written (typed) out, I can hold my self more accountable for achieving the things I would love to achieve. Thank you for inspiring to finally bite the bullet and make a list, Rachel! You can check at her list at her blog, Oh Simple Thoughts.
As you will notice some of the things are more serious than others. Also, you'll probably notice that a lot of the things revolve around traveling and food. Girl's gotta eat, y'all!

I always love hearing from those of you that stop by. So leave a comment and let me know what you think. I respond to comments via e-mail. If you have your profile set up to no-reply then I can't send you a reply and that makes me sad because I love comments! They make me giddy and sometimes make my day :)
