In my former blog I mentioned a project I had come across on other blogs called 101 in 1001. It's 101 goals in 1001 days, which is roughly 2.75 years. I kind of started and failed miserably but am back on track now, especially since I have a job! So this is go #2 and and it's starting April 6th, 2010 so that it will end December 31, 2012. Hopefully I won't defer from the plan too much this time... Got any major goals?
