on january 29, 2008, i made up a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days, and although i never published it anywhere, i actually spent the past few years working on it. my 1001 days wrapped up at the end of october, but since i've been so busy doing things like living life, i hadn't had an opportunity to ever talk about what i accomplished.

since this will be my last post for the year, it probably makes sense to go over what i actually did manage to do from my list...especially since i'm planning to do another one!

here's what i set out to do and actually did:
