2011 and a list of goals

In the middle of all of my blog stalking...i ran across an idea for how to make a list of goals.  Essentially, you create a list of 101 tiny goals you want to accomplish and you have to do it within 1001 days.  I'm always thinking of things I want to do.  Things I want to accomplish personally and professionally.  Things I want to accomplish with my kids.  Things I want to do with my husband.  Places I want to go.  Things I can do to better myself as a person.  So...this will help hold me accountable.  If you created a list...what would be on your list of things you wanted to accomplish?

Oh...and these are in no particular order..and I don't have 101 of them, not yet anyway

1.  Shoot a wedding located outside of Texas
