I’m a 101er too! I found cool ideas from your post to add to my list too. Thank you for having such a cool list
Always good to find new ideas. I’m still finding ideas now, and that’s a long time since I wrote mine!
That’s okay! I’m sure you can squeeze in a few challenges every now and then. The point of this is to enjoy it!

I love your 101 in 1001 list. Congratulations for joining the rest of us. You’re very brave for putting “stop biting my nails” on your list. I so wanted to put it on mine, but I know it won’t happen.
Hello, great list! You seem to be whizzing through it too. I started mine a few weeks ago and I’m really enjoying it. Nice to see other people’s.
