i had a fabulous holiday season, and i'm pretty damn sad to say that christmas/etc is over, but with the end of the holidays comes a brand new year, and i decided that, instead of making a random list of goals to accomplish in 2013, i'd make a different sort of list.
i've made a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days -
yes, that is roughly three years, and i've made sure to make all of my goals things that are measurable. some are absolutely free of charge, and others will cost a pretty penny, but all of them are things that i really want to accomplish in the near future. some will technically be repeats for me, some will seem meaningless to anyone else, but i'm absolutely excited about all of them.
i plan to blog about these things as i pursue them, but here's the list, for posterity's sake:
