As I read through other lists posted here, I wondered how someone would go about "getting a boyfriend" as item number 16 and then "get married" as item number 47. Is that how's it done? You make those things list items to accomplish? Check and check.
Some things on my list are easy to do (mostly because I've started the process... "go to England" for example) others are going to take effort ("drink beer" hahaha). Some items are just a matter of money, others are a matter of self control.
And some items are just way more fun if someone does it with me ("drink beer") (or "walk for 45 minutes").
And yes, I will be replacing the second item with something more noble. Something list worthy. Something important. Any suggestions? (besides "get a boyfriend. get married.")
So, tahhdahhh. My new list of 101 Things to Do in the Next 1,001 Days:
