The List!

This blog was created to track the progress of Jillian and Meaghan's 101 in 1001 project. Instead of picking New Year's Resolutions that would most likely fall apart within a month or so, we have chosen 101 things that we would like to accomplish in the next 1001 days. More info on the project and its origins can be found at www.triplux.com/dayzero .

Jillian started creating the list on her own, so there will be a few differences between her version of the list and Meaghan's version. That said, here's Jillian's list (Meaghan will post her slight changes soon)!

Start Date:Thursday, January 1, 2009
End Date: Thursday, September 29, 2011
