just_the_thingsI doubt I'll actually be able to keep up with an update every single week... but I thought I should at least give one my first week!
3. Stay in touch with college friends I’ve reconnected with
I sent e-mails to two of them yesterday. I just found out one of my greatest friends in college just got engaged! Another just got married on the 9th... hope they like the pineapple slicer :-)
5. Re-write weekly schedule and try better to follow it
I re-wrote it but have only been following it about half the time. I don't know if that means the schedule sucks or if it means I'm lazy. Possibly a little of both. But half the time is better than I was doing before.
9. Work out at least 3 times a week
Um... I worked out just once. Arg.
10. Start wearing pedometer again and keep track of steps walked- do sit-ups if I fall below my average
I located my pedometer. I will start wearing it tomorrow, I promise!
11. Floss at least 5 times a week if not every single day
Started out good, and then I slacked off. Bad Kate.
12. Drink & finish a bottle of water every week
I started a bottle of water, drank while exercising, put it in the car to drink as I drove around, then left it there and never finished it. Bad, bad Kate.
26. Put a recycling bin in the laundry room and empty it myself regularly
I've ben using it! It's so nice to have it there.
29. Clean from 3pm-5pm every Sunday- no excuses!
I don't have an excuse... except that I was watching the Dead Zone. But I totally meant to clean... and I didn't. I'm a slob. LOL
31. Keep car gas level at least half full at all times
I dipped just a little bit below halfway full and I went and filled up! Feels good not to pay $20+ each time... and it's nice to know I don't run the risk of running out of gas. I'd love to keep up with this.
34. Pair down closet and move all clothes out of Simon’s room
Negative progress: bought new clothes *facepalm*
47. Create a BookCrossing iCal (publish it?)
I thought about this... I'm thinking of either putting together a BC Calendar Yahoo Group, or using http://www.calendars.net/ instead of iCal.
52. Make a better list/system of books I mail out (spreadsheet) and keep up with it
I'm keeping up with it! Whoohoo!
53. Clear 50 books off my To Be Read bookcase
Negative progress: I added 6 books to it
74. Finish archiving the Chronicle and complete the Photo Archives
I finished the Chronicle archives, which I've been working on for about 11 months now. I even built a database and search feature for it. I'm SO proud of it. 32+ years of issues, 860+ articles- it's an incredible collection of articles about writing. I started the photo archives, mostly author photos. It's going to take an even longer time with these, since I can't identify the people myself. I'll have to figure out a good way of displaying photos to get people to enter info about each for me.
75. Get everyone moved to Adobe CS3
Worked on it. Maybe... 80% of machines have it installed now. I'm running into some problems, unfortunately
76. Get a new graphics card for my PC and set up monitors
Ordered the card today!
77. Bring goodies to work bi-weekly
I brought in a box of Tomato & Basil Triscuits yesterday.
82. Keep an ongoing master list (spreadsheet) of all stories I finish
Yesterday I began a document... but I think I'll actually make it a spreadsheet instead, so I can sort by fandom or date
91. Start reading slash-dot and try to keep up with techie news
I actually visited it once... I must remember to go more often. Must stay informed...
