Overall I’m very happy with how things are going with my 101 in 1001 project – it’s been a lot of fun to plan out what to do next and hold myself accountable for taking time to enjoy some things that usually get pushed aside when things get busy.
Highlights include booking a trip to DC in April, The Everygirl and not one, but two hockey games. Breaking my Starbucks addiction and giving bikram yoga a shot were also pretty big personal accomplishments that helped break up my usual routine. The massage was not the greatest so we may need a do over there (what a shame!)
Do you have a 101 in 1001 list? Any suggestions for items I should check off the list next?
