Each year I put together a list of 100 things I’d like to accomplish.  They aren’t so much resolutions as they are a reminder to myself of all the things I say I want to do but usually end up forgetting.  This is absolutely ripped off from the Disgruntled Housewife and her Überlist.  Each year I give the list an overall theme, to inspire.
