For some unknown reason this thing won't give me a title?!? So here's my own...

Aspirations...or Craziness

My darling sister Sara managed to find this interesting site, and well it got me started. She made a list of 101 things she wants to do in 1001 days in her blog. So I'm gonna give it a shot, it equates to a little under 3 years. I figure actually writing it down will help, and hey, who doesn't need a bit of a far fetched to do list. So here goes, and be ready because I'm a dreamer :)
