101 Goals Before I Die

My friend Therese gave me the idea to come up with 101 goals. I've had lots of fun coming up with them. Some are silly, some are serious, but I think it's a good idea to always have goals and things to look forward to. Now maybe since I'm sharing them with everyone, I'll feel more pressure to actually do them!
