I saw this on the lovely Mermanda's blog a while back and have meant to post it but thought it would be best saved for the token New Year's post. I'm pretty good at making and keeping resolutions but this forced me to really thnk about the goals and wants that I have for the next few years. Feel free to try it yourself, it'll force you to really think things through and realize what you can do when you push yourself to do

I'm actually doing the 101 in 1001 days... so that should give you some extra time to accomplish all those goals! Good luck!
Wow! That's an extensive list!
Happy New Year!
May you and yours be blessed with much happiness and many joys in 2009!
May the world be blessed with Peace & Justice in 2009!
I notice you didn't put "convince Leonardo DiCaprio that I actually mothered his love-child and marry him in a chapel by the sea". Has that changed?
Excellent list, my dear Magan.
Happy New Year, and may 2009 bring changes a-plenty!
I want to kiss a rock star too!!!
When I was a sophomore in high school my history teacher made us make a "life list" of 100 things we wanted to do before we died. Good luck!
just be carefull about the nose job. When i had my deviated septum fixed years ago, i also had them fix my nose up, but i breath like shit now... one day im gonna have to have it fixed again..
You might want to do #64 before you try sexyback yup. It's only fair ;)
Also, for #72, you got a place to stay if you're ever in Ontario ;)
Happy New Year, Meghan! That's quite a list. A combo of 44; 16; 45; and 46 in one big night!
Fun list!
Happy 2009!
hey..happy new yr..hope u ve a great yr ahead of u
great list! I could explain I love lamp to you, if you wanted. Don't know if that's breaking the rules though - do you need to figure it out yourself?
26. Pretty in Pink & St. Elmo's Fire are 2 of my favorite movies.
27. May I recommend Life is Beautiful?
These are excellent. My only NYR is to eat something that doesn't come in a can.
Also, I though I was the only one with a cat that makes sand castles in the litter box and mistakes poo for confetti. Oh, Salty Bob. It's a good thing you got looks, babe.
Mermanda- ooops, that was an embarrassing typo. Thanks :)
Nick- Happy New Years to you too!
Pirate Jess- the next 1001 days?
Paula- if we both kissed the same rock star we could be on an episode of some slutty reality show
Angela- how are you doing on the list?
Slyde- yikes, thanks for the heads up!
Mike- good point. and I may just take you up on that one day :)
Lad Litter- and you'd better believe I'd blog about it ;)
Love Maegan- thanks, Happy New Years to you too
Maverick- thanks, and Happy New Years to you too!
Hillary- well I didn't get toooo specific on the technicalities on the list, educate me please :)
Grace- good one to add to the list thanks!
Racquel (Sasha v.2009)-Salty Bob and Tinkerbell would make fine friends, indeed.
I love lamp! I love lamp.
I can help you out with that one sometime. You'll have to come for a visit the length of a movie.
love it, love it, love it! we can encourage each other to keep it up! when does yours end?
Sarah- sounds like a plan for a movie night :)
Little Erin-and that just sounds like a great plan, period.
