101 things (or how to get my butt off the couch for 1001 days)

Who: Me, although some goals may involve other family members.
What: 101 measurable goals
Why: To inspire me to work towards my goals rather than hide in a blanket on my couch all winter, or be a computer/electronic sloth. Also, with my brother committing his life to God's Work for 2 years, I feel like I should step it up.
How I learned about it: Inspired by my friend Christy, and tracked back to Day Zero.
When: 1001 days...which means I'm due Wednesday July 11, 2012
