Wow, you are going to be busy in 2013! I'm tired just reading your list :-). I do number 86 on a fairly regular basis. It's a ton of fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to check out the 50 question too. Thanks for the link.
Happy New Year!
I just added the 'reply' to comment functionality on my blog. I feel so fancy.
DeleteThat's awesome what you do 86 on a regular basis, Mike!
Here's to a great year! I'll be in San Diego January 16-21 and at the Tinkerbell Half at Disneyland on January 20. Ham radio classes are fun. I obtained my General license when I was 14 (I don't know if that is still a class of license, they changed the regulations when I was getting my licenses).
ReplyDeleteLook who can reply to comments now!
DeleteLet me know if you have free time so we can try to meet up next weekend!
Whoa! Now, that's a bunch! I don't think I'll ever create a 100 list of must do's... Haha. 50 is a mouthful already.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year! :)
Teah, it's not so bad — I plan to follow The Green Girl's lead and create 100 of my own :) 77 down, 23 to go. It's a good challenge to put yourself through — you have a better guide to show yourself how awesome a year has turned out :)
DeleteThanks to Casey, I can now reply to comments! So fancy.
DeleteHappy New Year, Teah!
That's an impressive list! I don't know that I could think of 100 things beyond laundry and house cleaning.
ReplyDeleteTracy, you are too cute. If I had kids, I'm sure my list would be very different!
DeleteThis list has inspired me to create one for myself, too. I think this is a much better alternative to New Year's resolutions! Look forward to reading about your progess!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled that I inspired you, Becky! Looking forward to working on these goals and cheering each other on.
DeleteI am definitely inspired to make a list for myself... probably not as long but SUPER GOOD LUCK with yours in 2013!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! This is so cool that others are getting inspired to make lists, too. I love lists!
DeleteThis is such a great idea. I love the whole cross them off and date them as you go!
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl! It's really helping me stay focused.
DeleteThis. Is. Awesome.

Thank you, girl. I'm having fun with it!
