101 Update

I have been playing catch-up in my Google Reader for the past 2 days and I ran across a 101 in 1001 post that the lovely Gail had put up on her blog. I originally made this list last June I believe so I am almost at the 1 year mark. It's pretty crazy how fast a year can fly by. I haven't really looked at this much in 2010 but I think it is time to start focusing on it a little bit more.

Some of the goals I'm not sure I can accomplish in the next 2ish years because of finances so a few goals might have to be changed. Eventually. We'll see maybe in 6 months?
