Kate Whitmore: This is... 1001 times better than a New Years Resolution! Thank you for the inspiration...just completed my own. It makes my life a little happier to have these goals written down.
2.18.10, 11:25PM Jody: Jessica, I've been married for almost 9 years and still haven't gotten my name changed on my passport! (Can you tell I have not flown internationally since my honeymoon?!) I only live about 20 minutes from you, so if you want to knock out #43, we could go get new photos, sit down and make each other fill out the paperwork (maybe over burritos at the new cafe rio? YUM!), then go to the post office and mail it all off. Somehow, I have not managed to do this on my own but if I had a plan to meet someone I know I'd follow through. =0) Maybe not the most exciting item on your list, but something I've been wanting to take care of, too. Good luck with your list!
2.9.10, 1:40PM Terry: I can help you learn how to shoot a gun properly. Come on over to Cleveland, OH.
2.6.10, 7:40PM kayla :): I heart this idea Jess!! I think you have just inspired me to do the same! :)
1.19.10, 6:55PM Lidia Boicu: I thought I could help you with the resolution to volunteer for a children charity.. What's better than combining photography and charity for children.. www.tinysparrowfoundation.org/blog
1.16.10, 10:36AM elle: #85 makes me so happy. i almost wanted to put "TP a house with JC" on MY list. hahaha! --- awesome list. can't wait to watch ya mark things off!
1.15.10, 5:30PM Bekah: Hey Jess, I'm sure someone has already told you about the # I will...but I haven't had the time to read the comments. :) Not sure HOW you do it. PS: i love you blogging more. Having a few sisters get married I know how busy, stressful, and wonderful the "Wedding year" is so I never was upset, I just missed ya. Glad you're back :) I've "followed" you basically daily since you shot photos for Nate and Tricia. Tricia is the sister of some of my closest friends from college: Lancaster Bible College, lancaster pa. Anyway... I can help you with a few of these!!!
#22: Come to my place! South Africa!!! I moved her last year, I started a school in a rural community and am the head teacher and administrator. South Africa is seriously the diverse country i have ever lived/ministered in, and I've been in over 22! The people, the food, the places and things to see. Its all unreal. I can tell you more but I think you and Jeff would LOVE it. I can obviously tell you more if you're interested.
#27. WHile you're here, why not stay an extra week (or two, or month!) and Volunteer for the organization that I work for? It is a Christian based organization that works in many townships (poor towns left over from Apartheid), children's homes (orphanages), and in schools. There are some VERY cool ministries we oversee. I think you'd love the Leadership Academy we run during the year. http://www.rag.org.za/
#39: I guarantee we have lots of foods you've never tried before. Some you would actually like, and some you'd never want to try again but you'd get bragging rights for trying! :)
#40: we can be friends, too! :) I mean, personally, I feel like we are, because of following your blog...but technically, I'm just an internet stalker. :(
#43, if you came to visit me, you would have to get the passport=motivation. :)
#45: If not my school, my organization, and if not that...I have lots of friends who do amazing work in Jesus name helping the poorest of the poor overseas. Convoy of Hope and IJM are just two organizations...
#46. You have to take a boat to get from Cape of Good Point to Robbin Island, which is where Mendala and a lot of prisoners were held during Apartheid.
#49. Selfishly, I'd "settle" for this. It gets VERY lonely here. I have access to some "American" things, but they are few and far between. I'd LOVE a care package of fun comfort foods and just "American" things...
#50 we have hunting on the game farm I live on with a great range to learn and practice!
#51 I live on a game lodge, we can go on a game drive here (even on my walks I pass zebras and giraffes regularly), and Kruger's National Park is very close and safari's there are incredible.
#54 I worked as a piano teacher on and off before moving here to SA. So, I'm sure I could get your fingers in working condition :)
(can't believe how many of these I can help you accomplish...I feel excited!)
Jess, please just know I love your work and your writing and the heart that comes through both. Thank you for inspiring me with great photos for what will soon be two years now.
1.14.10, 7:18AM Gail: Check out chi running. You'll be running your 3 miles in no time. I'm up to almost 5 miles after just a few weeks. 1.12.10, 4:56PM
JenneferWilson: ooh ooh!! along with my own photography I paint and design a lot of different things! I would LOVE to take care of #53 for you!! let me know!! PS...see if someone will pay you a buck a day for getting in the word...by the end of the year you would read through the bible and be 365 bucks richer!
1.11.10, 6:38PM JenneferWilson: OOH OOH! along with my own photography I do alot of painting and designing...i could take care of # 53! let me know! it would be my pleasure! :) Also, reading the bible in a year is such an admirable goal! My mom told me that if I read everyday and reported back, she'd pay me a dollar a day...see if your hubby will strike a deal with you! thats 365 bucks!...and then you could meet another goal!
1.11.10, 6:35PM Cristi Owen: i know i've offered before, but i will offer it again. i can most certainly help with the weight loss one, not sure how you picked 25# but we would first figure out the right amount :). skype sessions work really well for this! and in case you are wondering, i'm a registered dietitian. have fun accomplishing it all! 1.11.10, 5:12PM
P. Phillips: I have a great tool to help you read through the whole Bible! (This is a goal of mine too, that I've never been consistent with). Here's a link to the Bible reading plan from my church, the Austin Stone (http://www.austinstone.org/resources/bible_reading_plan). It gives you a reading plan for the whole week. If you follow it, you will get through the entire Bible in a year (or you can go at your own pace). This page also explains a study method you can use called R.E.A.P. Pray that He will give you perseverance in this new endeavor! His word is the greatest treasure we have! Good luck! 1.11.10, 11:20AM
Patricia Espedal: You should sell your wedding stuff on your blog first! or just email me, I'm interested.
1.9.10, 7:20PM Wendi: I found your site through design*sponge and feel in love. I started a 101 in 1001 in December, good luck!
1.9.10, 1:08PM Helen (Dogeared): That's a great list - some easy, some challenging, some for you, some for helping other people... I might have to borrow a few of those if I do my own list!
1.9.10, 5:40AM Michelle Guzman: I'm working on a 2010 goals now since I saw this. :) Thanks for the inspiration. I saw your 101 in 1001 and had to start one. I finished this December and was so surprised at what I had finished. :)
1.8.10, 5:28PM inlAND EMPIRE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER: Jessica I love film. When you shoot your wedding all film I would love to help you. I am really good at loading the film cartridges fast! i would love it if you would consider me. ;)
1.8.10, 12:51PM Patricia Espedal: You're inspiring... With your photos and your 101 lists... I'm actually doing a 101 list as well with some big dreaming going on. p.s. Madison Wisconsin is absolutely beautiful in the summer and I'd be more then willing for you to come live here and HELP ME!!!
1.8.10, 9:43AM Alicia: you should..."give away a major prize" (#18) to a blog reader/aspiring photographer/new business owner... where you "rent an apartment" (#15) in their city to help them grow. I'd say that would be pretty life changing... and maybe you'd make a new friend (#40)
maybe that would be #72 too?
Great List BTW. I made one a little over a year ago after first coming across yours. As a result about 5 other people I know ALSO made one. Very inspiring.
1.7.10, 9:47PM erin.: I LOVE this idea!!! I wish I had the patience to write my own 101 in 1,001. All amazing ideas on your list & I hope you are able to accomplish every single one! :)
1.6.10, 9:29PM Amy Carruthers: Thanks so much for sharing this! It was the perfect inspiration when I needed it most. I love the small and FUN things on the list - it just reminded me that not everything we want to change/do needs to be so big and serious. I wish you luck in your quest to complete the list!
1.6.10, 3:44PM Bri Stine: #55 and #64 are my cup of tea. Here if you need the help!
1.6.10, 12:37PM meghan in lake tahoe: i think i can help one out
#48) Take a road trip (at least 8 hours away)
COME TO LAKE TAHOE!!! You can ski here too!
1.6.10, 12:35PM ajira: Oh my gosh. I just started reading yours and had to laugh out loud because some of your stuff is on my list too. I have to finish my list in the next couple of days and share it. I'll make sure to finish reading yours and let you know if I can help with anything you've got there!! So excited for you. Will be sharing what you completed of your last list with us?
1.6.10, 12:19PM Rebeca: sorry i press enter without ending my comment.
u can see pic on the internet and see how many beach we have and how friendly are the dominican people.

u dont regret it! 1.6.10, 12:08PM
Rebeca: Come to Dominican Republic, is a beautifull place, the beach, the people. never b 1.6.10, 12:01PM
Rebecca Timberlake: What a great idea! I read this post on Monday and have been mulling over what I would put on a list like this...so, I'm jumping on board and making a list of my own. Thanks for the inspiration. 1.6.10, 11:51AM
Tina: congrats!! your post inspired me to do a list of my own...110 things I want to do in 2010. some of them are silly, some of them are serious, some are selfish, but a few are about serving others like your #91. :)
Keep us posted on your accomplishments! its fun to follow along. :)
1.6.10, 11:35AM Karen (Mikols) Bonar: That whole "new lat name on your passport" is my final thing to being the new me. Name changing is SUCH a process. Wouldn't it be great if we could outsource it? ;)
1.6.10, 9:38AM Elisabeth: I can help with 26, 40, 70 & 73... Our church is reading the bible in a year - www (dot) 12stone (dot) com for the schedule. I'll be glad to be your new friend (since I've been stalking / following your for awhile now. I have an online book club that I would love for you to join! babbettesbookblog (dot) blogspot (dot) com. And, we just got back from Mystic 5 (which was incredible...) so snag an invite from Walter to come speak next year & on your way to Connecticut, stay at a B&B in Vermont!
1.6.10, 8:51AM kylie Danielson: I love this! I haven't commented on your blog in like a year and this totally inspired me to stop my busy life and write something. I really want to make a list of my own. Again, I need to stop my busy life and do it! Maybe stopping to breathe should be on my list! Thanks for reminding me there is so much to do and enjoy in life!
1.5.10, 10:08PM April : Lose 25 lbs.... are you nuts?! :) You look great! Now, I'll disagree with Miss Utah and vote Colorado. Im taking my first snowboarding lesson in the next couple of weekends... come on down! Great work, BTW. Keep it up : ) 1.5.10, 9:50PM
erinna: #56: Buy an Antique.
Does antique clothing count? Dont forget Etsy in that case!
1.5.10, 8:55PM s h e r r y: :) Sounds like you've got a lot to do! I tried coming up with a list, but I got stuck after 50 or so things. I need to think of more things I can do...
1.5.10, 7:19PM Marisa: I never comment on blogs, but I can't resist. If I could be your new friend (#40), you could take a road trip to Iowa (#48), I could take you out on our boat (#46), my husband could take you flying in his small private plane (#95), I could teach you to sew (#80), my daughter could teach you the piano (#54), you could babysit our four children while your here (#91), my sister is a hair stylist and could give you a new hairstyle or color (#97), this would for sure be an adventure (#101), and you might admire me before your trip is over (#72), if only you would say "yes" to this offer instead of no (#72). All kidding aside, I love reading your blog and looking at your pictures. 1.5.10, 5:30PM
Hayley: travel to a different country!! Come to Australia, and not just a capital city - come to Rockhampton - hold a workshop with James Day (who we are trying to get here also) and then I can personally take you on an expidition to the northern territory where I promise you will meet the most fascinating people because I will introduce them to you!! =)
1.5.10, 5:12PM amy: #63 - i vote utah... after all, it is the greatest snow on earth :)
1.5.10, 4:53PM Jessica: such a great list - I am inspired to make one too! here are some things I can help with: 31 - go see Avatar (it bears repeating); 25 - give up wheat; 15, 22, 40, 48, 52, 93, 101 - c0me an visit me in Toronto! I've never actually had a friend named Jessica, but I am conviced we are the best people around!
1.5.10, 4:30PM Libertad Leal: This is such a fantastic idea Jessica! I think I am going to do my own list! I hope you are able to do all of them. I've been a blog stalker for a long while now and I absolutely love your images. You are an inspiration. All the best!
1.5.10, 4:16PM Sharon: I just wanted to say that I love your blog.. Follow it daily! :) I have never been a resolution type of chick but I am totally one of those goal keeper so this is RIGHT up my ally! Awesome idea and i have started working on my list! Cheer and happy new year!
1.5.10, 3:09PM Lorenzo Gonzalez: Jessica, Great list. You got me inspired to write up my own now. I will post on FB soon.
Lorenzo
1.5.10, 2:38PM mj: I am part of a book club in south county and you're welcome to join us! We're a fun group of 12 women who meet once a week at each other's houses :)
1.5.10, 1:46PM Kimberly Brian: Okay I can help you knock out five off of your lists...seriously...hear me out. #39 have you ever had calf fries? I can make them for you when you send your care package #49 - the care package being you. Seriously, box yourself up and send me you, I could use your knowledge for like a day, then while your here I can shoot your boudoir pictures #60 you can also TP a house in my little bitty texas town, and all of that is an adventure #101 - on top of that I could add to the adventure - ever helped work cows??? And you will be in Texas and can swing down to San Antonio after and visit the family!
1.5.10, 1:03PM Tira J : Oh wow! I admire you for sitting down and writing all of these out. I loved the list you had a few years ago and also kept tabs on Melissa Jill's list. I have been wanting to do one of these for a while now and after reading yours and getting some encouragement from friends, I think I will write it out while on my trip to Imaging in Nashville. My husband can help you out with #50 and if you want to make it a double date, you guys can come over for dinner after #50 is taken care of and have something you never had before and then add it to the Norwood Cookbook! Happy New Year Jessica! Hugs to you.
1.5.10, 12:13PM Kenny Grill: Alright, I can definitely teach you a song or two on the piano and/or ESPECIALLY on the guitar. And don't judge, but I could also teach you how to sew and make articles of clothing. :)
1.5.10, 12:03PM Jen: Hummm seriously? My little one goes nuts when there is a sitter! You must be the best babysitter ever! ;) Great job, good pics!
1.5.10, 12:00PM Heather Corporan: I love this idea! I've been meaning to make my list . . .for quite awhile. For now, it'll be #1 on m y list : ) 1.5.10, 11:33AM
Meese: You could come to Holland (foreign place you've never been before), meet me (make a new friend, and with all the snow here, we could build a snowman (my kids will help).
That's 22, 40 and 52! 1.5.10, 10:55AM
Tracy: make sure you ski in Utah!! we own a home in Brian Head - it is so beautiful and sooo much fun!!! We are here right now It is just beautiful. Evidence of an amazing creator!
1.5.10, 10:47AM Meg: I LOVE #15- I've been thinking about doing this next January in Ireland .... or Greece.... or oh boy.
1.5.10, 10:43AM Mayra: You should defenitly see Avatar at the IMAX theater, in 3D! 1.5.10, 10:34AM
Julie: Girl! I was totally up for #85 at Christmas! Why didn't we do that?! Where are you, Cyndie and I going? Sounds fun! :) 1.5.10, 10:25AM
Diandra: okay it's called "change your life Daily Bible and it is put together by Becky Tirabassi (obviously not written by her, duh, but she organized it into parts so you can read it in a year). It's easy!
1.5.10, 10:21AM Kenzie Shores: I love your list, I did this a few months ago when I turned 27...it was so liberating!
1.5.10, 10:05AM Jamie: I had blank notecards made with a random photo I took that looks like an abstract painting (purely by using the wrong setting years ago on a point-and-shoot) and I love the photo so much that it makes me want to write notes more often!
I was trained on thank-you notes by my mother and so I would write them anyway, but the personalization makes it more enjoyable.
1.5.10, 9:41AM Tamara Cosby: I can help you ;) I have 4 kids and NO ONE wants to take that one on to babysit ;) If you can come to Tennessee, I can probably help you with a few...and then if you want to help me with mine, I want to get at least a little traffic to MY website and sell some shirts! I LOVE your work Jessica!
1.5.10, 9:00AM Tina: This is a really great idea!
1.5.10, 8:34AM Alexandra: Wow, so inspiring!!! I loved reading your list :) I think I'm going to have to make a list of my own!! :)
1.5.10, 8:17AM chern: this is super awesome!! i've never commented till now despite coming back again and again to look at your photos which just leave me floored .. but a list like this just calls out for praise :)
.. if you want to travel, come to singapore!! (it could help with #9, #22, #61 and #101, maybe even #15 - and you could put #43 to good use!) crack a whole new continent and culture with the help of a friendly local :) 1.5.10, 8:14AM
Carrie K: You're welcome to shoot a fun session of me and my husband here in Iowa if you've never done photography here!! lol :) Welcome to -20 degree weather!
1.5.10, 8:08AM Miriam: I can help you with number nine! I´m 100% sure you have never heard about the Faroe Islands (north Europe). And I´m 200% sure you have never photographed a wedding here :)
1.5.10, 7:56AM MelissaF: What an awesome list and idea. I like the fact that it's a 3-year list and not a yearly list. Hmm, maybe I'll try this! Thanks for the inspiration.
1.5.10, 6:55AM Ellen: Great list! But I'm a bit worried about #50 right above #51 - hope these aren't related :) Have a wonderful 2010!
1.5.10, 6:16AM Melissa Munding: PS. I'm in love with your wedding and am planning a vintagey/ecclectic/different wedding myself. Let us readers know if you sell your wedding stuff!
1.5.10, 4:44AM Melissa Munding: Well...I just bought a shootsac, so I guess that helps you with #21! I love lists and it's always fun to read others' lists, thanks for sharing!
1.5.10, 4:41AM Al: 39. Eat something Iʼve never tried before - Ever tried venison? You two should come over for dinner... which leads to # 40. Make a new friend - we'd love to make some new friends.
1.5.10, 1:41AM Cathy Crawley: I can help you with numbers 9, 22, 40, 72, 74, 77 & 83. First, come to Australia (number 22) shoot a wedding here (number 9) meet me again and be my new friend (number 40) second shoot a wedding of mine (number 77 - cheeky I know!) take my photo at said wedding (number 83 - again with the cheekiness) say yes to all of the above (number 72) and then send me a thank you note for such wonderful ideas (number 74). Sorted! When do we start?
1.5.10, 1:22AM Sarah Henry: Started reading and couldn't get past the first five. I'm with you in spirit here in Australia with umber 1 - except here in Sydney I would say 3 km not miles (plus it's slightly shorter so I'm in luck), number 3 - we've just renovated our studio/gallery and bought some antique french white picture frames so need to fill them, and number five, clean out my two daughters bedroom of their baby stuff (youngest is now 2) - now i'll get on to reading the rest of your list - have a great 2010
1.5.10, 12:49AM Diandra: I could maybe help with a couple :)
Theres a Bible out that is split into sections that you read one a day and you read the whole Bible in a year. There's pieces from a few different parts each day. I'll email you the name when I am in the office tomorrow.
I work at a church and deal with several different organizations as well as our own ministries that are great causes for #45 if you want that kind of a place...
And if I get married... I'll invite you to be my guest :)
1.5.10, 12:49AM Kari Sikorski: I can help you out with skiing in Utah ;) Come on out & I'll hook you up!
1.5.10, 12:38AM Richie: Hi Claire, I appreciate all your efforts for the list of 101 for 2010. i never like New Years resolutions because they do not last, but list are my favorite thing to do. I have not done it in a few months because I went back to school to get my bachelors degree in Photography @ the Academy Of Art University In San Francisco. I was obsessed with making sure I get A's for all my classes because I love photography so much, I want to be so good at it. Anyways, I changed my life by making list, and I accomplished most of them as a matter of fact all of them, and I am excited to make my list for this year inspired by some of your list. I am a photographer based here in Sonoma Wine Country. I photograph weddings as well, and I LOVE IT!!!!! I am a single mother of a six year old boy who is just the best kid. I am finishing my site ( i am designing it myself), and I would really love to take your boudoir photos when you are ready, and would LOVE to second shoot for you on an adventure wedding! Thank you for being such an inspiration......Richie.
1.5.10, 12:22AM Veronica: ok for #1, you have to check out this site....very easy to use and totally doable! YOU CAN DO IT! ;) http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Diner is on me!!
1.4.10, 10:32PM Meredith: I could help you with #1. I have run 13 marathons and am currently training for my first Ironman. I've been looking to get into coaching new runners. I would certainly love to help you achieve this goal. Check out my running blog and drop me a note!
1.4.10, 10:09PM tasha : http://www.bible-reading.com/bible-plan.pdf
we started reading the bible in a year last night.. you can still catch up. start it with us. it isnt straight through.. it bounces around and it has this nifty check list for those that like to check things off. i hope you do it with us.
1.4.10, 10:00PM Alice: Fun - what a lovely and ambitious idea! I should sit down and come up with a list like this one of these days. Maybe that could be my number 1? ;)
1.4.10, 9:49PM Karina: I can help you with # 40.
:)
I would love to be your friend.
1.4.10, 9:44PM Kellee: If you're ever in Sydney, I'll gladly take you out fishing on our boat :)
1.4.10, 9:27PM Jessica: Hi Jessica! I love your 101 in 1001- I've consistently read them for nearly 3 years now. Would you mind if I just use your list and change names??? I don't want to sit down and write my own list and yours sounds perfect for me. Once you give me the go ahead-- I'll get started! ;) Good luck with all your challenges-- I know you can do it!
-Corrine Heck
1.4.10, 8:55PM Tracy Anne: I could teach you to shoot (pistol, rifle, shot gun... whatever trips your trigger. hee hee). It's the accurately thing I'm not sure about. ;-)
1.4.10, 8:51PM Katie Neal Photo: Um, your wedding stuff that you sell on ebay...please tell me about it when you do! I'm already married but some of that decor etc. was to die for! :)
1.4.10, 8:37PM erin: you rock. it's that simple.
1.4.10, 8:32PM michele: lovely and ambitious list! the reading the bible thing ... there is a chronological bible that makes it SO much easier to read the whole bible! give that a whirl.
1.4.10, 8:32PM Memoree: Jessica - A great start to reading your bible is - Read the New Testament in 40 days...my husband and I started it just last night...here is the site
http://www.faceofgrace.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=229&Itemid=70
1.4.10, 8:21PM ashleigh: awesome list!! #60 i'd totally take boudoir photos for you...but then i'd prolly die of excitement....

1.4.10, 8:03PM Ed Hetherington: We just got back from an incredible safari to Africa that took a lot of research and planning so I'd be glad to provide some input on that one. Absolutely awesome experience! Here are some images from the trip. (not sure if you want links on your blog so feel free to remove!) Some animals here: http://www.hetheringtonphoto.com/Other/AnimalPortraits
Kids in a Zambian village here: http://www.hetheringtonphoto.com/Other/KidsofSimongaVillage
1.4.10, 8:00PM Kacie Loretta: This is my first time commenting after following for several years. I just wanted to say that I love your lists and I'm excited to see you accomplish it! And please let me know what your ebay name is. Your wedding was perfect! 1.4.10, 8:00PM
Geneviève: 37 - lose weight
40 - make a new friend
First off, I absolutely think we could become friends, we're both pretty cool chicks who love the camera, living life to the max and go all out for a party!!!
I've done my list as well and I need to lose 100 pounds. We could support eachother through it all, exchanging recipes, ideas, exercise ideas, etc...

michelle: 98 is my favorite. i love random gifts. i hope you complete at least half of your goals. my goal is to make a list. 1.4.10, 7:52PM
Chrissy: My only advice is try for number 60 and number 90 before you go for number 65. :o) 1.4.10, 7:51PM
cindee bae: #13 (Attend a wedding as a guest) made me laugh but #85 (TP a house) is my favorite! G'luck and happy new year!!
1.4.10, 7:35PM Megan C.: You instantly inspired me! Thanks for the jumpstart!
1.4.10, 7:35PM rachel: #97, hairstyle/color
A long time ago I watched an Oprah about being stuck in a rut (hair, clothing) and decided to break out of it by getting my hair cut. BIG MISTAKE. I realized, after the fact, that there is a reason my hair looks the same (more or less) and that is because it looks better that way! (It's curly and thus needs to be longer or I look like frizz-head. Plus, not many people can REALLY cut curly hair with a style that works with, not against, the curl.) So take it easy on #97. Or maybe just go with a color change.
1.4.10, 7:32PM jaana: it kind of freaks me out how similar your list is to mine. good luck with all your goals! my husband is pretty good at fixing computers if you need help with that! :)
1.4.10, 7:31PM Kate Wall: I can help with the IMAX next time you're in Northern Arizona. The Grand Canyon South Rim has the most AMAZING Imax movie that everyone should see at least once. And I'd even pay for you and Jeff! And one of my good friends lives at the canyon, so she is a built in tour guide/hotel to the largest hole in the ground national park!
1.4.10, 7:29PM Rachel Shomsky: #85... I will help you TP a house. Next time I'm in the area...
and with your product lines I am sure I am interested in any new business you start. :)
1.4.10, 7:24PM Alfonso Lievanos: I can teach you how to shoot a gun very well. You want handgun or rifle teaching?? Plus we are in Tucson if you wanna make a road trip out of it!!! Hmmm...maybe during Spring Training
1.4.10, 7:17PM Jen Creed: LOVE your 101 in 1001 lists, always!
#10 is cracking me up...surely there can't be that much traffic on the whole internet ;-) JK! Totally hear you on #43, been married a year and a half almost and that is still on my to do list, eek! And #100 is awesome!
Looking forward to seeing how you go about these! Thanks for being such an inspiration!
1.4.10, 7:15PM jessica claire: heather, there are quite a few on there that i don't know if i will be able to accomplish, but i want to at least try!! 1.4.10, 7:13PM
Heather Wolff: Wow. You are so blessed! 75% of your list would not even be a possibility in my world, and I don't consider myself unfortunate in any way! Happy New Year!!!
1.4.10, 7:12PM Jessie: OK, I really love your #100, that's always been a dream of mine too. Just have Oprah say my name would be nice! LOL :)

1.4.10, 7:10PM evie: I can help you with #40. :)

Sarah Cook: #7 - You can donate your computer(s) to therapy places. Check and see if there is an Easter Seals Pediatric therapy center in your area - they rely on donations.
My son is Autistic and the Easter Seals that he goes to weekly until recently had only antiquated computers that looked like they were from 1996 or earlier - they were slow and unreliable.
Easter Seals provides therapy for kids regardless of whether or not the parents can afford it, so there's no money for computers/printers, etc.
1.4.10, 7:06PM Amy McTeague: I can give you a recipe to add to your family cook book. I have a ton more in front of me if you have something like this or don't eat meat etc...
Hunan Chicken and Zucchini Stir Fry
1/4 c corn starch
1/4 cup of water
1lb or boneless chicken cut into strips (you can use pork instead of chicken as well)
3 Tbls vegtable oil
3 small zucchini sliced; about 3 cups
1/3 cup of Hunan Sauce
1Tbls sesame seeds
Hot cooked rice
Combine cornstarch and water, stirring until smooth. Add chicken. Heat 2 Tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add chicken mixture and stir fry for 3 min or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove from skillet. Heat remaining oil and add zucchini; stir fry for 3 min or until tender. Return chicken to skillet; add Hunan sauce and sesame seeds. Stir Fry until thoroughly heated. Serve over rice. Serves 4.
If you can't find hunan sauce you can look at a speciatly grocery store or substitute hoisin sauce.

Alyse French: Absolutely brilliant list! You've inspired me, yet again!! :) P.S. TOTALLY sell your wedding stuff on Ebay!! I'd KILL to make my upcoming wedding like yours was!! :)
1.4.10, 7:04PM Corey Ann: If you're ever in Ohio you're more than welcome to come here to build a snowman (#52) and I am an excellent TP-er (#85) so we could do that as well. I'm not kidding about the TPing either. I still do it when the mood strikes and I'm 30. It's good fun!
1.4.10, 7:03PM allyson magda: thanks for sharing! I've always loved your 101 in 1001...you should take a road trip to Hearst Castle, to see their imax, and camp while you're up there...you could kill three in 1! I think we should swap lists or lives, that way, I could cross of like 1/2 of your list and things that are on mine are things you've done so you could cross off half of mine! ha!
1.4.10, 7:00PM justin lyon: Hey Hey! NICE list! I may be able to help with a couple! Let's get you a cameo in a movie, I can help with lift tickets to The Canyons in Utah if you want to go there, we should go camping, you can watch our kids anytime!! Man, there's lots for us to do in 2010! I could keep going!!
Here's to getting them all done in 2010!!!
1.4.10, 6:59PM Susie DeSha: I can help you with Recipes Im an amazing cook. Everyone comes to my house just so I will cook. My thanksgiving dinners are known for the best...my secrets are so simple! Email me and I will share! (or when I move to my new place I can do a photo shoot of how to cook) hahaha
1.4.10, 6:55PM joyful weddings and events: So fun that you do this! Learning to sew is definitely on my 2010 list- I can sew by hand, but I've had a sewing machine collecting dust in my closet for 2 years. Handmade cards to friends & volunteering for a children's organization are on my list too.
I can help you with the martha stewart tea party or dinner party or the photo shoot if you ever want some help. Or the TP'ing a house. Only if it is Michael & Cyndie's :)
