marylove's "1001 things to do before you die"

Add to my lists |

This is a work in progress…always will be. I reserve the right to remove things that no longer appeal to me (as long as I am honest and not just using this as a cop-out) and add new things as I become excited about them. I also periodically add things which I have already done (so that they are immediately crossed off) but that were big goals / really worth doing / things I want to remember.
