The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).
Okay y'all, here we go. I love this idea and am really excited. I've decided to start on March 1 so that Lauren has enough time to write her own list and join me. That means I've got to finish by November 27, 2011.

First, let me just say that whenever I was thinking of the last 10 so many of the ones you already have crossed my mind but I for one reason or another decided against them. Including: 2, 5, 7, 14, 26, 44, 48, 52, 82, 85, 89, 90. We are totally sisters. That's a lot.
I want a green Kitchen Aid mixer so bad! Let's just buy them for each other. I should have known 31 would be on here, I don't appreciate that. You know I am down for 32. I really hope that I am there whenever you meet Hanson, I will for sure commit a sin if I am not. The ones I wrote are nothing like the majority of yours.
I hope I can think of enough, so far I'm at like 2.
I love you!
I'll be honest, I think that Two of Lauren's are awesome!!! hahahaha I thoroughly enjoyed 96 and 99!
Lauren, it is really random that you thought of some of those...I almost don't believe you. C'mon. You HAVE to read HP! Otherwise I fail!!
I picture #99 happening on the subway and then you nonchalantly saying, "S'okay. It's on my list."
And Soma underwear will make #99 easier.
Just trying to help.
An aunt
Haha I think I will incorporate "s'okay. it's on my list" into every day conversation just because. I love that.
I think that you should do #14 with all of laurens that she made up, atleast.
I can help you with the horse thing! And I just enjoyed catching up on your blog.
