  4. May I suggest for the first foreign movie: Antonia's Line. I guaran-damn-tee you will love it. And if you don't have a weird little hole-in-the-wall video store that has it, let me know. I'll find it for you.

  5. I'm kinda sad that so many of these are about buying/accumulating 'things' - things don't make us happy or fall in love. especially in light of the budget post later on. :(

    Your idea is fantastic - best of luck. Maybe you could replace the buying with more making?

  6. What an awesome idea to approach this as a couple! I was inspired by the thought of completing 101 things in 1001 days, but you ladies have taken it to another, beautiful level. I love how your list contains things just for one of you, but most are for both of you, which to me demonstrates the basis for a very healthy relationship. [You need to keep your individuality in a relationship.] Good luck and I'll be checking back...after I make my own 101 in 1001 list.
