Crossed Off Goals

I used to host my 101 in 1001 progress on livejournal. But because I currently have a blog already on blogger (for my cooking), I decided to just move everything over.


As such, this entry will tell you which goals I have already crossed off.


Goal 5- I have a huge list (in paper form and on Amazon) saying which books and movies I wish to own. Usually every 2 weeks, I buy 2 or 3. But I am worried that I will not finish it! I have over 100 books and almost 150 movies. That's a lot!


Goal 6- I have decided that for my first tattoo, I will have the quote by Audrey Hepburn done- "Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt". The phrase "to the hilt" means fully and completely. I hope to live my life by that code.


Goal 8- I am currently in the middle of doing not 1 but 2 Project 365s. One is Self Portraits and the other is non SPs. I have another blog dealing with that! (Although, I rarely update it. Perhaps this week, I will get to it.)


Goal 10- My old cell phone broke, so I got a new one in April! Halfway done with this one!


Goal 11- I sent a postcard last year and I have had ideas, but haven't sent one yet this year.


Goal 12- Like buying books/movies every pay day, I print off pictures every pay day. I don't like that fact that with digital pictures, it is so easy to just let them set on the computer. Pictures were meant to be seen!


Goal 14- Recently completed! I will have to take a picture and share.


Goal 19- My manager and I decided to quit drinking pop back in January. While she quit (aka started drinking pop again), I am still going strong. (Expect for the occasional Rum and Coke and for trying pop at work ( I work fast food and we have to try pop sometimes, if a customer complains.))


Goal 36- I had my hair permed for my birthday!


Before and After

Goals 41 to 43- My "eating" goals. I went to the Cheesecake Factory for my birthday (Feb. 21!). I went to Red Lobester for my friend's birthday. And I went to Chipolte just because.

Goal 52- I finally decided on correct frames for my eyeglasses, back in April. I have yet to decide on sunglasses.

Goal 53- I am going to see Def Leppard, Cheap Trick and Poison this Wednesday! I am beyond excited!

Goal 61- I am on book 15.

Goal 63- Last December I went to NYC/Times Square for New Year's Eve. When I got back, a group of friends and I went to a bar/bowling alley. In the bar, they had karaoke. So I did it. And I sang "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

Goal 69- Bought new speakers for my birthday party.

Goal 73- I recently finished my next list. The dates for that one are August 19th 2011 to May 16th 2014

Goal 81- Finished! As you might be able to tell, I love Audrey Hepburn :)

Goal 82- Currently a work in progress. I plan to have it finished by December.

Goal 89- I have my sketchbook and am working on finishing it.

Goal 90- Finished and it's in use! http://cookinginschool.blogspot.com/ Come visit me!

Goal 91- Finished! They ended up paying for everything (the state) because of my income bracket.

Goal 92- I want to be in Australia for my 30th birthday. So...February of 2017. Less than 8 more years.

Goal 94- October 2008 to February 2009 is finished!

That's it! A lot of my goals in works in progress, but I am pleased to have finished some things.
