101 in 1001
A little over a year ago, I made a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. My 1001 days will end in November of 2008. You can read my original list here. I haven't updated the list in over a year, but I did complete some things on it.
1. Log 100 workouts July 2006
10. Visit the dentist twice
13. Do a pull-up, palms inward
15. Ski Phantom Bridge without stopping to catch my breath Feb 2007
16. Fix the damned shower March 2007
17. Keep the guest room/study "guestable" for 90 days straight 5/21/06
20. Give or throw away #150 of clutter Jan 2007
21. Give or throw away #300 of clutter Jan 2007
27. Have a job that will lead to a thesis May 2007
46. Try geocaching
48. Try surfing August 2006
81. Read two nonfiction books July 2006
91. Attend 50th Annual Family Reunion June 2006
100. See something through a telescope June 2006 (at the family reunion)
So far I have done only 17 of the 101 things. Some of them I don't really care that much about anymore, and it seems a bit silly to do them just because they're on a list- the point of the list was to make an intention to do things I actually wanted to do. So I imagine that I won't complete the whole thing. But it's nice to look at the list from time to time, to remember what I wanted to do.
Some things that are in progress:
23. Decorate a room just like we want it
26. Finish all my classes
43. Enter photographs into the county fair or other competition
93. Have professional photos taken
There are many other things on the list I'd forgotten about. Here are some I want to bring to the front of my consciousness:
39. Finish knitting the blanket I've been working on for years
53. Go bow shooting with Brendan
68. Attend a ballet
83. Donate blood three times
101. Make something on a potters' wheel
