The hundred things list has gone around some. I saw it most recently at Jan's, but have seen it before on other blogs. the list varies from time to time as people add to it and others bring it back to one hundred.
The idea is to bold or color the things you have done, and leave those you haven't in place. A bit of editorializing or explanation is okay. I have added a few photos. The spacing changes each time I preview, so I think it's time to leave it as is.
