101 in 1,001
I was originally introduced to Day Zero Project a few years ago right here on OD so I felt like this was the best place to post my list. I’ve seen some really cute lists that are all organized by category and I wanted to do that, too! But if I wait until I have time to get it all organized then I’ll never get around to starting the damn thing. As it is I’ve already been putting this off since October! So, here you have it.

I’ve been working on a day zero list for myself but only have 14 on it so far! Your ideas definitely inspired me some! I’ll post mine as soon as I finish it!

ryn: It’s funny you said that. Yesterday she was watching Lazy town and I was thinking that he was lookin kinda hot in those pants haha.

Wow .. you are sure ambitious.

I should try this! I will work my list…but is this like Bucket List!

Risk is fun… takes forever to finish a game. If I made a list like this I know I’d never come close to finishing it.
Warning Comment
Good list 🙂 hope you get to do it all.

It’s fun to read your list and see how many things I can do/have done. Not surprising since I had a 39 year head start. LOL. I have thought about a bucket list but believe it or not there is nothing I want to do or place I want to visit. 🙂

#24 is my personal favorite 🙂

Love your list! I have started my own and borrowed some of these! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂

Wow! I couldn’t even put a #1 on this list if I did it! You can visit Oregon! 😀 Oh, have you ever had a bone marrow test or given bone marrow before? Let me tell ya, you want to be KNOCKED out if you do. I had a bone marrow test when I was 6 and I remember it as if it happened last night. I’m not sure I could do that. Unless I was promised to be KNOCKED OUT!!! hehee Great list my friend! *HUGS*

I love your list 🙂 It’s very athletic! and oh so different from mine 😀 kind of cool to see different approaches to this. Mine’s self-improvement oriented, yours seems more directed at gaining experiences. Well I’ll take a note from your book, since I only have about 60 goals that I’ve thought of.

RYN- Haha that’s funny. I also write too much so that’s probably why you see me all the time on the front page. 😛 But back to the FB/OD debate lol, I’m kind of glad that not a lot of people know about the OD; I’m so anonymous on here, to some degree. Ya know? And I’d love to read some of that family cook book! 🙂

I love reading these lists. They are so varied and the level of ambition is always different!

RYN: I’m ready to fast forward to 80 degree days 🙂

Ryn// My thoughts exactly!! I’m not sure if I do want kids yet. I mean I kind of do but I almost want to say NO I AM NEVER BUGGER OFF just to make a point. I admire people who can just say that and know. But yeah I know exactly where you’re coming from. It’s just a BIT annoying ¬_¬ xx

Love the list. My husband and I geocache. It’s fun and a great way for us to spend time together. We really enjoy it a lot.

ryn: I go to a huge gym that has over 4400 members. So they have attendants in each area..and then they have “roamers”..which are the bigger and younger guys that work there..they just kind walk around like security..make sure nobody is gettin raped in the corner..and they push a broom and clean when they’re bored. If anyone has any questions..they answer them..It just means they roam about..lol
Warning Comment
RYN: Thank you my friend! I had the slightest idea of what to do and when I bought that book, some ideas popped into my head. Hopefully she will like them both too! 🙂 *HUGS*

That would be a hard choice to have to make. I mean..it could be very risky or it could turn out good. Would have to think long and hard on that one. Just do what you feel is right for you. I’m sure if you ever feel you should contact him you will..if not it’s probably for the best.

RYN: bahahaha. He’s here in Texas, but since he’s taken, let’s head to Poland together. We can both find equally dreamy HPGs!! Maybe he has a brother or two. Mmmmmm.

ryn, oh I can only imagine – having to give feedback to a customer. Yikes. It’s hard enough to do as it is. But I guess they only benefit if the feedback is real and if they can’t recognize that, well… And do try the soup 😀 It was quick too. Boiling meatballs felt weird to me personally at first but they came out so tender and nice.
Warning Comment
RYN: Right now, I live in a furnished apartment. So I sleep in a bed. But my new apartment will be a place of my own. New beginnings. My furniture only. So… gonna be fun.

I’m so immature. I literally laughed out loud at the ‘get a facial’ … that means something COMPLETELY different over here xDD 8,000 calories in one day?! D: woaahhh. I think the highest I’ve ever burned was like 1,500 and I nearly died hehe. Thanks for you comment!! So glad to see your pretty face is still aboot 😀 xxx

RYN: . . Yes ex-wives will do that. It’s ok .. I will get her back someday. I know that she was just bugging me, as most of the time she posts me private notes, but today she wanted everyone to see her note and try to embarrass me. Didn’t work .. but she does know how to push my buttons if she needs to. I expect her to try that some day, just cause she can. Anyways .. you take care.

Happy 2013 honey!!! I’m so upset that I haven’t been able 2 keep up at all for the pass 9mths due to lack of internet on our remote family island (particularly, @ my so-called parents stupid house), but I’ve been reading plenty trying 2 catch up. I have so many things logged in writing but still doesn’t even come close 2 all my experiences. I thankfully have a wi-fi phone now & am back in Nassau with my family. Luv ya! More in a minute.

Ha ha! @ “get a facial”! lol Yea my life’s just one big rolling tumble weed. Yea I read pretty far back on your posts. I have so much to write that I’m exhausted just thinking about it.
