Am I crazy? Probably.

After five months, I'm realizing that I've become so accustomed to having a 101 list that it's actually kind of difficult to stay focused without one. Especially after having moved and quitting full-time work, I've felt really aimless lately. I'm being super ambitious again, but would it really be Sara's 101 list if I wasn't?
