1 Year Later

just_the_thingsI keep forgetting to post, but Friday was 1 year after I started my second set of 101 Things.
I really haven't been giving my list much attention yesterday, what with the BookCrossing Convention so close at hand. But I have been thinking about certain items, such as the ones I have already failed. Namely, do I want to assign myself different Things to make up for the ones I will no longer be able to complete? There's no realistic way to go back and time to complete January's project, for instance. And I've failed 3 monthly projects in a row (I didn't even assign myself a project in February, let alone complete one)!
Progress so far:
Finished- 26
In Progress- 13
FAIL- 6
Not too bad, but not as far ahead as I would like to have been.
So, if I want to replace the failed items with something else... how do I decide what the something else is? Surely I can't choose things that are considerably easier the original just to be able to do them. And they're things I want to do, so doing a variation on them might be the way to go.
FAILED ITEMS:
10. December 2010 Project- Put together all my LEGO sets that I hadn't yet assembled
11. January 2011 Project- Write a short thing for a prompt every day from the writer's book
12. February 2011 Project- Never came up with one!
53. Do 2 (minimum) Do Nothing But Read Days every calendar year- I only did 1 last year
72. Create a Washington Capitals Season schedule every season & post it where I can see it daily- I never made one for the 2009-2010 season
92. Make breakfast for dinner once a month- I was going good for a while, but then skipped several recent months, having forgotten all about this
REPLACEMENT ITEMS:
10. Makeup Project- Put together all the LEGO sets I've bought as of December 2010 and haven't yet assembled
11. Makeup Project- Complete all the prompts from the book within the calendar year of 2011 so that I can trade books with melydia at the beginning of 2012
12. Makeup Project- Write & post a list a day for 2 weeks straight
53. Do 2 (minimum) Do Nothing But Read Days every year (a year is now defined from June to June)
72. Create a Washington Capitals Season schedule for all seasons that start during my 1001 days
92. Make breakfast for dinner 33 times during the 1001 days (that averages out to once a month)
If I fail the Thing a second time around, then I'm declaring it dead and taking the $1 penalty!
