101 Things in 1001 Days

If you have been around for a while, you may know that last summer I started a 101 Things in 1001 Days challenge.  I was really excited about it and got a few things on my list done, but of course, law school and life got in the way.  I was thinking about it the other day and I thought this was a good time to restart the challenge.  I came up with a new list that I feel like better fits my life now, where I am and the things I want to do.  I plan on blogging about each task that I finish, so get excited about that.  If you want to join in the challenge, please do.  I'd love to follow along with you.  Here's my list:
1. Take Alex to the American Royal Rodeo since he claims to have never been.
2. Visit the new Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts, either for a performance or just to look.

4. Make a list of 101 things that make me happy, then print it out for dreary days.
