101 Goals in 1001 Days.
I found this concept while I was poking around the internet, and I really like the idea of it. So, why the crap not, right? 101 goals, in 1001 days. Some goals are, admittedly, much more easily attainable than others, but they are listed because these are the things that I want to accomplish, regardless of convenience.
.
.
{ Update: I’m still really trying to make most of these things happen. Some of the items on my list are no longer applicable, so I’ve striked them. I know its supposed to be 101 Things, but I’m not moving back to Beverly just so I can cross off “paint kitchen cabinets”. In addition, there are also some things I no longer want to accomplish. These lists ought to allow for changes in personal taste. These items will be stricken. Also, once this is over, I’m going to make a new list of Ten Things at the beginning of each year. }

All 101 goals are to be completed by October 4th, 2010.
Two days before my thirtieth birthday.

So it might be a more realistic goal to take Elena to Echo. The chances of me letting you take my daughter to Boston in the next 2 years is highly unlikely. I love you and trust you and all, but that is a big trip for an infant/toddler since you are moving out of the Boston area.
