Before I Die… a “to do” list.

February 27, 2008

So recently I’ve noticed that a lot of bloggers are including a “to do” list of sorts on their blogs. Many are calling them their “101 in 1001″ meaning 101 goals to meet in 1001 days. I love this idea, but feel like some of the things on my list are not something I must get done in the next 2-3 years. They are goals that I want to meet SOMETIME in my lifetime. They can be tomorrow or 20 years from now just as long as they get done. :)

This is a list that will probably change from time to time and most likely get longer and longer as time goes by. So bear with me as it will probably not be all that organized. Some of the goals will be random. That’s what I like about it. :)

  2. buy an entertainment center for the living room
  3. get a big flat screen TV for the living room
