101 Things Update!
Ahoy! I'm doing an Official Update on my mission101 list. The full list is here, but I'm going to make two lists in this entry: a list of things DONE, and a list of things with DEADLINES. I work better with a deadline, you see.
002- Go 1 month without carbonated beverages (December)
004- Go to a dentist. Make appointment for next visit before leaving.
007- Go to a good store and buy 2 good bras that actually fit properly.
019- Train myself to type without looking at the keyboard.>
020- Write a letter to myself to be read again at completion of 1001 days.
025- Get a Costco Card.
032- Buy a new, or at least non-broken, desk chair. 10/9/2007! For free!
033- Buy a nicer futon for my couch, or a better couch.
045- Go through old shirts- donate them or make something of them. (tossed them)
050- Buy a hair dryer. Use it.
074- Buy a permanent LJ account.
075- Buy a rename token.
080- Send something to Post Secret.
087- Listen to every JE album, in order. :D
Fourteen items! That's 13.86% of my list, done!
And now, the deadlines:
001- Lose 60 Pounds - 12/31/2008
003- Establish a habit of working out AT LEAST 3x/week. Counts after 2 months - 05/01/2008
015- Send a care package via AnySoldier.com - 06/01/2008
017- Tag and re-set privacy settings for all past entries, and do a recap post for every year I've had my LJ - 06/01/2008
026- Pay off credit card, and then use it ONLY for gas, paying it off every month - 12/31/2008
040- Write about 100 things that make me Me - 20 by 05/01/2008
043- Get legitimate curtains in my apartment - 04/01/2008
046- Put old fractal calendar pages up on walls - 02/01/2008
052- Learn to cook fish - 2/15/2008
059- Release a book on BookCrossing - 03/15/2008
062- Finish Ocarina of Time - 07/01/2008
073- Finish all unfinished projects (Green sweater) - 05/10/2008
077- Send a letter to everyone on my flist - 08/01/2008
088- Refine stenciling shirt technique, make 5 shirts - 08/01/2008
095- Finish all unfinished books. (Feeling Good, Eggs) - 03/01/2008
099- Reread all 7 Harry Potter books - 09/01/2008
Of course, I will probably also accomplish other items from my list in these time frames- I might buy girly clothes or pay for a stranger's meal or get a bike. But these listed items are items that WILL get done. I don't think I'm biting off more than I can chew, like I did with my list to get done by New Year's. I'm pretty excited!
As for resolutions... I'm not really doing any. I think with my Mission101 list, I've got my goal-setting quota met for the year. But then again, there's also The Year of Doing Big, Fun, Scary Things Together. My goals for this are:
- Lose 60 pounds.
- Get my BSIS degree plan worked out at UTA
- Pay off my credit card before it acquires any interest
- Finish at least one item from my Mission 101 list per month. Bonus points if I can make it to 4 a month.
Conveniently, all of these but one overlap with my Mission101 list.
So basically, Hooray for doing things!
