Below are my final updates to the original list as of October 26, 2013. Hopefully, in the next week or two my new 101 list will be ready. Expect to see many of the things listed below on it!
PS - I have got to change the background of this blog! It is annoying the crap out of me.
The idea is to make a list of 101 Things, be they minor or major, that you'd like to accomplish in 1001 Days (about 2.75 years).
Start Date: 01 June 2007
Finish Date: 27 Feb 2010
1. Go back to Europe
Didn’t do this. However, I
did go to Colombia and China.
2. Visit Rohan in Australia
Also didn’t do this, but see #1.
3. Make a decision about grad school
Decided that I’m not going to SLP
grad school, but want to go to grad school in the next year or two to get a
teaching degree.
4. Create a business plan for consulting
I didn’t do this, but still want
to because I think it’d be a fun and informative exercise.
6. Clean things out of my mom's shed
Not completed.
However, I’m living at home right now and have been thinking about this every
time I look at the shed.
7. Put loose photos in albums
Not completed. All still in
a box.
8. Print digital photos and put them in albums
Not completed. I have two
albums I want to fill and would also like to make bound photo books of my
International trips.
9. Become conversationally fluent in a foreign language
Not completed.
Unfortunately, I didn’t even take one foreign language class.
10. Take a photography class
Not completed. Still want
to do this because I’m hoping to get a DSLR soon.
11. Buy an SLR camera
Not completed. Asking for
money for Christmas to subsidize a DSLR purchase this winter.
13. Watch The Godfather Trilogy
16. -Star Wars (original)
17. -American Gigolo - Not completed.
18. -American Graffiti - Not completed.
19. -The Graduate
20. -Deer Hunter – so part of me thinks I did watch this, but I really can’t remember.
23. Finish reading The Pelican Brief – I’m starting to think I’m not going to finish this book. Maybe I should give up on the “reading” and listen to the audiobook. [In progress]
24. Go on vacation with my mom
Not completed. I’m trying
to plan a vacation this winter for her 60th birthday. It’s
like pulling teeth to get her to go anywhere!
25. Go Tubing (water)
Not completed.
26. Visit Katie W in TX
Not completed. She’s been
there over 10 years and I’ve yet to make it to Texas. I did get to see
her in Oct 2010 to celebrate one of our bestie’s 30th. Katie
just had a baby so I really need to try harder to get there.
27. Read a book that intimidates me (e.g., Anna Karenina, Song of Solomon)
Not completed. Still
intimidated, I guess.
28. Learn how to properly play Tennis
Not completed. Tried to get
a friend to take lessons with me, but was unsuccessful. I guess I’ll have
to do it solo.
30. Give up TV for a least a week, not while on vacation
Not completed. I will say
that after I got rid of cable my TV watching decreased significantly on a day
to day basis. I did have SEVERAL Netflix benders though.
31. Read a magazine from cover to cover
Not completed. I don’t
think I’m cut out for this one. If I’m not interested, I won’t read an
article.
32. Be a tourist in Baltimore - visit Blacks in Wax Museum - Not completed.
33. -Reginald F Lewis Museum - Not completed.
36. See a show on Broadway
Not completed. I usually
make it to New York once or twice a year so need to just plan it.
43. Decrease debt by at least 40%
45. Go to a baseball game at Yankee or Shea Stadium
Not completed. Well the
original Yankee Stadium closed, so I’ll guess I’ll have to go to the new one or
Shea.
46. Go to a baseball game at Fenway
Not completed. Mostly
because I haven’t made it to Boston.
47. Go to a Bowie Baysox game
Not completed. I still want
to do this. Man I was a slacker.
48. Take a real estate course
Not completed. I still
REALLY want to do this. I’m more intrigued by real estate now than I was
6 years ago.
50. Go on a camping trip
Not completed. Was supposed
to go with some friends, but then they found out they were pregnant!
51. Learn how to rollerblade
Not completed. I really
couldn’t care less about this anymore.
54. Go to VA beach
Not completed. Le
sigh.
55. Dye my hair (professionally)
Not completed. I really
have no desire to dye my hair anymore.
57. Take the Cape May- Lewes Ferry
Not completed. Went to
Lewes this fall and drove by the terminal. I thought, “Man! I can’t
believe I still haven’t done this!”
60. Have lunch/brunch with Kiana
Not completed. I haven’t
even crossed paths with Kiana in years. I will probably take this off the
list.
61. Contact Marianne via email/phone at least once a month
62. Contact someone from my dad's family at least once a month
63. Join a BSSC team other than volleyball
64. Play drop-in at the Volleyball House
Not completed. This is
probably because I’m chicken. I did go alone to a Womens Volleyball
League in Parkville and got picked up by a team. I LOVED playing with
those ladies.
66. Have my pearls restrung
Not completed. When I was packing
up my house in July I came across them and brought them with me to take them to
a jeweler in Easton. Have I gotten them strung? Nope! Le
sigh.
67. Swim in the Gulf of Mexico
Not completed.
68. Go on a snorkeling trip
Not completed.
69. Complete my RHCP collection on CD or mp3
Not completed. Still wish
to do this.
70. Go to the Philadelphia Museum of Art
Not completed. I had a date
to go with a friend. She got sick the morning of our date so it was
cancelled and I never attempted to go again.
74. Go whitewater rafting
Not completed.
75. Organize recipes in a binder or box
Not completed. So I have my
recipes shoved in a binder so they’re all in one place, but they are FAR from
organized.
78. Floss everyday for a month in an effort to make it habit
Not completed. I’m still a horrible flosser. I’ve been working to increase it to at least few times a week.
79. Buy a shredder
Not completed. Every time I
see shredders in Target I think I should get one. And, after purging 6
years worth of shredding at various community shreds when I was moving, I
decided that when I find a new home buying a shredder HAS to be high on the
priority list.
80. Organize magazine articles in a binder or file folders – Once again I have all the articles shoved into a binder, but they are FAR from organized. [In progress]
82. Finish filing system for financial documents
Not completed. I bought a
bigger filing box when I was moving. I continued with the filing system
of “just put it in the Important Papers Box. Still not in any sort of
order.
84. Host a quesadilla party
Not completed. I did host a
Tapas party, but think a quesadilla party would be a blast.
92. Buy a proper desk
Not completed. I decided I
thought that would help with paper/organization problem when I was packing to
move. It’s now on the high priority list when I find a new home.
93. Finish my bedroom so it looks like I'm staying for a while – This was in progress because I’d ought curtains and a dresser and bookshelf. However, I moved from this house in July and NEVER finished it. Since I no longer live there, it no longer matters.
94. Make my bed everyday for a month in an effort to make it habit
Not completed. I’m going to
add this to the new list, probably with a modification.
95. Learn how to do something new on my MacBook by taking a class at the Genius Bar.
Not completed. I don’t
really care.
97. Go to Boston – visit Joe
Not completed. Still need
to make it to Boston. I’m going to le sigh again.
99. Go to Tea with the important ladies in my life - Mom, Marianne & Aunt Dorie
Not completed. Mostly
because of my laziness. I would still like to do this.
100. Go skiing again
Not completed. I’d like to
do this. My friends went back to Copper a couple years ago, but I didn’t
have the funds at the time.
101. Create and finish a project using GarageBand.
Not completed. Don’t really
care.
102. Drive a John Deere!
Not completed. Mostly
because I never got back to Savannah before shit hit the fan. I’m still
going to leave this on the list because even if it’s a lawn mover, I’m going to
drive a John Deere!
