100 things to do in 2011.


who's ready for 2011? THIS GIRL! 2k10 was a fab year, for sure, but as a huuuuge list junkie, i relish the chance to figure out the fun stuff i want to do in the upcoming year.

besides my bucket list, and my 30 before 30 list (a subset of the bucket list - yes, i'm crazy), i bypass that whole "new year's resolutions" business and make an annual list of 100 things i want to accomplish/do. some i've done before and just think would be fun to do again, some i've never done, some are pulled from my bucket list. and a select few i'm not sharing :). but i plan to keep track of all of the following on this blog as i go throughout 2011. i crossed off about 40 on my 2010 list, which i'm a little disappointed about, but now i'm even more motivated to get crackin' on this one. what do you want to do in the new year? to new beginnings!

  1. Okay, so I love this list idea...the Beast needs to get cracking on his own...

    AND, I have suggestions on a couple of these:
    combine 27 & 43 to go skinny dipping at night.
    does the duckboat count as a guided tour?
    make a toast as soon as the ball drops.

    I can directly help you on a few as well:
    56. parallel parking is easy and can be learned in 10 minutes - it's all geometry.
    79. you can borrow buffy or angel, your choice :)
    83. literally, literally I have two Perdomo cigars in a tin in my car...they could be smoked on a lunch break.

    Hope this helps - best wishes from the Beast for a wonderful end to 2010 and a fantastic beginning to 2011.
