101 in 1001

So I read an interesting blog from Lauren in Texas. She is about as super cute as you can get. Especially at 24. Most 24 year olds I know, I just wanna throat punch. But not her. Although it could be just online that she's cool. Maybe in real life I'd throat punch her.

Anywhore.

Her latest blog was a goals list. And once I started reading, I was inspired. And of course, I wanna do that too. Everyone always has these ideas in their head of "Someday". Just sitting down and having to think about 101 future goals that are actually doable, was a great exercise in self-reflection. Plus, with my current custody situation (50/50 of week on/ week off), having a plan is essential to getting anything done.
