Wow Impressive!! I’m sure you can do them all!! I should also make such a list, but I doubt there’s even that many things I could come up with, so well done!

I like it! I hope that you blog about a lot of these. I am especially interested in what sort of cleanse you do and what prayer vigils are like in your church (or whatever group has it).

I love your list! I like #51. I should start a date night with my husband. I’m adding your list to my fellow 101 links page if that’s alright.
Good luck!

Hey Bean!
Wonderful list!!
For the photo flash of food at night, you should check out one of these :: http://vistek.ca/store/CameraMountedFlash/233042/gary-fong-puffer-popup-flash-diffuser.aspx :: I know people that use and love them, and got to play with one myself once! Did wonders for that “blowing out candles on the birthday cake in the dark” shot!
