My 101 in 1001 list

This afternoon I was meant to catch up with some friends for a book club I just started. Unfortunately though, two out of the four girls are sick, so they had to cancel. I figured it was a bit of a waste to still have the meeting, and that we could reschedule for another weekend, but the idea of having something I was looking so much forward to cancelled, got me down a bit. I started to think about some things that I could do by myself but couldn't come up with anything. So I started to look online. I found a blog created by a lady who had written down 101 goals she wanted to finish in 1001 days and I really liked the idea. So here I am, starting one of my own.
