101 NEW Things.

I originally started this blog almost 2 years ago because of my 101 things list. I just re-read that list. Although I have done several things on that list, many really just don't apply to what I want in my life anymore. I'm thinking of coming up with a new 101 list to start over with. But seeing as it takes me HOURS to come up with my New Years list, doing a brand new 101 things to do in 1001 days could take even longer!

But I know that list isn't what I want anymore. And sadly, I kind of even stopped checking it! :( I just do my thing now. So...

Well, I tried to use their website, but kept getting kicked off! I added at least a dozen things and NOT ONE SAVED! Hmm.. I've been having all sorts of issues like that with electronics today. Wonder if Mercury is in retrograde or something! FRUSTRATING!

So I guess if I have to start a new list, I will have to do it here. But I will have to come up with new ideas. Some thing that are still on my list, I will want to keep, but most will go. I guess a good starting point is to just go through my original list, right?

So my new end day is November 9, 2013.

Ok.. here's a new list starting with what I'm keeping.

1. Skydive
