101 in 1001

I came up with a 101 in 1001 days a little over a month ago after stumbling upon Mackenzie's list. After keeping this list on my phone & just crossing off things as I did them, I thought it would be fun to post it, AND since Jamie posted hers I thought I might as well just follow her lead ;).
