(Re-posted because completed tasks wouldn't update in older entry)

In honor of today being both my 300th entry and the first entry of 2005, I wanted to do something special. I was inspired by the '101 Things in 1001 Days' lists done by Jessica, Lauren & Heather, so I decided to do my own. I'm not into New Year's Resolutions, so I figured I'd do this instead. Let me tell you, it is not as easy as it seems. However, I got it done and it offically starts today. The items that have been completed will be in bold with the date completed following the item. I'm hoping to get pictures of some of them as I do them. (I'll link to the entries with pictures if I do) I have a handy-dandy link on my navigation pane if you'd like to check back and see how I'm progressing (although I will try to mention in entries when I have completed a task). Anyway, with that said, let the list begin. I've got 1001 days - let's see what I can do --
