100th Post!

It's my 100th post! I couldn't think of anything too out of the ordinary for my 100th post. So instead of doing "100 things about me," I decided to make my bucket list. 100 things I want to do before I kick the bucket :-)

Some of these are things that I could do now, and some will take a lifetime. It was very hard to think of 100 things to put on my to-do list! I tried to pick things that are easily measurable and not too abstract (that's the teacher in me) and mostly things that I've never done, or haven't done in a very long time.
