I love it. What a wonderful idea, I think we should all make a list like that. I never liked the other one for the same reason, makes me feel like I've done nothing in this life. But I love yours - thanks for the inspiration!!

You're my idol! 100 things TWICE! It took me three months to write my 100 things, and they weren't nearly as interesting.
