Updated 101 Things in 1001 Days List

The Hubs has pointed out a few times that I don't update this much. I've made an executive decision to remove it from the side bar and just do occasional update posts. It keep the page from being way too long too. Oh and due to existing circumstances (specifically the figurative bun in the oven), I've had to modify some of these.

As far as blogging about each, I've got to go back and do a massive post about some that I've completed since I seem to have gotten behind on that one.
