I don't know if I could come up with this many things. I might have to try it. Good luck!
This is a good list. I'm about to make a 31 for 31 list and this has given me a couple ideas. And don't you have a real life friend in Raleigh, NC? I only live an hour away from there :) !
Uh huh...the 101 list ain't no joke, right??
3. I did a 1/2 marathon. Once. It was amazing. And I saw the devil. Good luck.
4. Once you understand where the attachments are at either end, this will be very easy.
8. I don't know what a Grilled Cheese-Off is but I want one. And I want it with KLZ.
15. Check.
17. Do that in about a year and you can stay with us. ;)
25. I want in on this one.
29. Amen, sister.
35. You start it and I'll pimp you with wild abandon.
41. Hahahahahaha.
55 1/2. Help my friend, Ally, do the same.
80. Who's Chammy?
83. There a movie? Thank you, Jesus!
87. Shana is REALLY good at this.
92. And you drink bourbon. So anything else is peanuts.
97.5 Teach my friend, Ally, how to do the same.
Congratulations, darling!!! Looking forward to updates!
Love your list!
I don't think I could do #22. I'm a tv addict.
I so want to go to HP World!
They inspired me to do my own 101 list, too! My problem is that I've read too many good lists now, and now i have to actually narrow mine down. How ridiculous is that? Apparently I want to do EVERYTHING. :-/
Also, DEFINITELY do red. At least once in your life. It's a ton of fun! You have the skin tone for it, too. I need to go to Hawaii, too. We should do a blogger meet up and invade Hawaii with a whole slew of bloggers! They'd love that. ;)
I propose that you plan a trip to NYC and we can, in only a few days, knock the following items off your list...16, 18, 47, 87 and 98. We can also go to the Jack Rabbit Sports and do 82. And I have lots of counter space so we can do 32. And we'll definitely be doing 48...because you really have to...it's awesome.
oh...and what's a Dougie?
I cannot even tell you how stoked I am that a grilled cheese off is on this list.
102. Meet Jayme and get a picture with her doing jazz hands!
I am so with you on #9, and while we're there, you can explain #54...
#36 is often overlooked and so important. I need to get on that too.
for #67 - does TMZ count?
I agree with Kallay - Red is awesome, and I think you would rock it.
Should I be insulted that you want to travel to a foreign country outside North America AND see more of the US? I'm just saying...
Because if you ever make it up here, we can cross off #15, #52, #56, #58 #97 and, of course, #99. But I can't help with #61.
And...I'm a a little disappointed that Breaking Bad isn't on there...'nuff said
Now that's a list. But I am confused about #79. Have you never ever dyed easter eggs?? Or have you just not done it in a long time? I do it every year. Mainly because then I can eat a bunch of hard-boiled eggs!
Dammit. Now I have this urge to make a list. Like I need another thing to do this weekend.
Also, if any of this stuff brings you anywhere near MN let me know. If you want to see a cool stadium (Target Field) with a losing team (the Twins) I got ya covered.
I know I know!! Lets go to Harry Potter together!!!
I love this list - but why stop at the half-marathon?
And can I judge the grilled-cheese-off?
Okay, I KNEW you were my Twitter BFF for a reason! Harry Potter RULES! I will help you increase your From the Sidelines readership and if you get those onesies on Etsy, I'll get some for Jordyn and the twins. I saw that you already got your professionally fit for your running shoes! It seems like you're doing pretty well by my estimate! You also inspired me to start a list....I don't think I should try to do 101 in 1001, but maybe 10 in 1001! So glad that you're back.
Did you pre-order P90X2?!?! I did!! I want to start the first of the year.. will you do it with me!?! Let me know!
I love your list! You can totally complete these!
Here is wishing you hit all of them.
That's an impressive list. I think the one I love the most is the "learn how to Dougie." LOL!!
Also, go you with the marathon running! You're almost inspiring me to create a list of my own... Almost ;)
Love your list...great idea. Good luck!
