You have how many?!

I am very excited to announce that on March 13, 2012 I officially completed my first goal. I completed goal #100- Get a new piercing. In the past I've had some pretty obscure piercings, (none of them inappropriate) but this time I got a fairly simple piercing.

 Like most piercings, it hurt initially. However, after the jewelry was put in place, the pain was a non issue. I was able to sleep on the ear the very same night, which doesn't happen often, if ever. I was very excited to be able to share this piercing opportunity with my awesome friend, Amanda, who is coincidentally not a fan of piercings. She was pretty supportive, though, even allowing me to hold her hand without much complaining. So without further ado: My new piercing. :)

The new piercing is the bottom cartilage piercing. My mom took me to get the top one for Christmas about 4 years ago. I pretty much think it rocks! :)

Okay, I'm pretty new to blogging so this may start off pretty rough. I'm using this blog as a place to display my progress on my 101 goals in 1001 days. I've been really excited about this since my friend, Brittany, started hers. This list took me around 15 hours to compile. That's a long time. However, I'm fairly confident in my 101 goals and my ability to complete them. Any and all encouragement is welcome and I appreciate you showing interest in what i'm doing!

Italicized goals are in progress.
Bold goals have been accomplished.

I'll be posting soon, hopefully!
