The Green Girl was inspired by the Day Zero Project's '101 Things in 1001 Days Challenge' to start her own challenge of attempting to complete 100 things in 2013.
Ultimately, I fell short of 50% completion success by accomplishing 48 out of 100. For 2013, I'm rolling over some outstanding items and removing others from the list.
My focus for 2014 is personal growth, introspection, and local exploration.

DeleteThat's quite a list! Go get that garlic press now. I got one about a year ago and love it.
ReplyDeleteMy sister saw this list and said she has a garlic press she never uses so she's going to give it to me. Whee!
DeleteI love this...I don't do "resolutions" but I have a bunch of things I want to try and I love lists...off to start my own. Thanks for the inspiration. And let me know when you come down to visit potato chip rock:)
ReplyDeleteThank you again for helping make our Potato Chip Rock hike happen. :: hugs :: I had so much fun!
DeleteOK, here's my contribution (since we didn't do my item from last year)...
ReplyDelete4. I know a great key board short-cut and I want to know the other 9 you discover
14. I know 3 great knots used in fly fishing, but I'm not sure how useful they are.
23. I want a Dremel tool. Let's shop togtehr
28. My visitor specialty is roasted chicken. I'll show you how. Let's schedule a dinner after March 1st.
29. I grind flax every day. While we're cooking you can grind flax at my house and decide if you want to purchase the small appliance to do it every day.
47. I want to go do the spa day with you
65. Assuming I'm not afraid and don't suck on a bike, I want to do the overnight ride.
76 & 78. I am interested in all the "visit" and "go to" items, but particularly these two
