22. Do 7 crafts I’ve seen on Instagram
I had a lovely craft day with three of my favorite friends, and I did a bunch of different crafts, including two I learned about from Instagram.
The first is this tumbler/cup from Walmart. It comes with inserts you can color, but it was suggested to put a map (like a Disney Parks map) in there instead. I do have an extra Disney Park map from my last trip. However, I also have a small stack of gorgeous wrapping paper I've been saving to do something crafty with. I selected a sheet that was definitely big enough for the mug, chose where to position and cut, and then slid it into place. I'm super happy with the result! And I can change it up whenever I like, too!
The second craft was to take a toilet paper roll and cut it into 6 pieces. Then, using staples and glue, you make a bunny out of it. My bunny is a little unbalanced, but I think that gives some personality or attitude. I'd also like to make a little egg for the bunny to be holding in its larger paw. It was a lot of fun and easy to make, once I borrowed my friend's smaller stapler.
Progress: 2 / 7

Disney movies I watched that weekend for the first time:
Soul
Onward
Turning Red
Luca
The Incredibles 2
Cruella
Aladdin (Live Action)

My first and second days (Friday and Saturday) were all movies I hadn't seen before. My third day (Sunday) was all Pooh movies. And then my fourth day was a wild mix. I had so much fun with this marathon!
I fell behind in logging my accomplishments on this blog. I'm catching up in February 2024 and backdating entries to keep my records consistent.

Things 22, 51, & 63
Sep. 15th, 2018 11:22 pm22. Do 5 things off of the list of items that got cut
51. Go through 33 boxes of my things
63. Wild release 100 books (not at Kensington or Gaithersburg)
I went to the National Zoo today with two good BookCrossing friends. I brought 100 books to wild release, but I wassn't able to release them all at the zoo. And it seems silly to count all 100 toward this goal, as I did it all in one day. I did put a lot of work into the releases, though. So I decided to count 35 of the releases, my favorite themed releases for the day. I'd forgotten how much fun this was. Even though it was a hot day and a lot of walking (and three trips to the car) I had a lot of great moments releasing books and seeing some really great animals. In clearing out so many books, I also managed to empty one and a half of my storage boxes.

Item that was cut: See Hamilton
I took this off because, big and significant as it was, I knew I was going to go see it when I put it on the list. But I'm happy to count it as one of the five things for this item!
I had an amazing time! I loved it even more than I thought I would :-)

22. Memorize my library card number
I started work memorizing it last week, and almost every day I've been quizzing myself. I seem to have it down. Today at the library, I typed it into the computer correctly in order to check out a book, as I had left my card at home here by my desk on purpose. I got it in one try, not having to look myself up in the system, and that was the entire purpose of memorizing the card. So I think it's a job well done.
Like many things I've memorized over the year, I'm going to need to keep practicing it to be sure I still have it memorized. But I usually need to remember it a couple times a month, if not more often, so I suspect I'll be able to keep it fresh in my mind. Therefore, I am calling this one finished!

I'm nearing the end of my list, so I thought I should own up to some failed goals...
14. Finish wild releasing 100 books at the George Mason statue at GMU
This just isn't going to happen in the time left. Phooey! I got to 31/100, which is pretty good, but not even close to half.
20. Keep BCinDC blog/site updated
I feel so bad about this, but I just didn't keep up with it, and then it was too late to save this thing.
22. Finish watching all of Doctor Who
Ummm yeah. 40-something years of a show in just a couple weeks? Not going to happen. But I'm putting a version of this on my next list.
32. Somehow get Mom to see a meteor shower
I tried for two separate meteor showers, but no luck.
37. Run a 5K
Hahaha! Nope! I feel like this was still a realistic goal for me. If I hadn't gotten sick for a year and then had hip surgery right in the middle of my things, I might have made it.
58. Build the Barge out of LEGO
I still really want to do this... but it's not going to get done in the next few weeks. No way.
96. Finish the 365 prompts in the Writer’s Book of Days
I did some during this list cycle, but I'm still on JANUARY.

22. December 2011 Project
I did a whole lot of projects in December: TARDIS stationary set, Winnie-the-Pooh ATCs, hosting my very first swap-bot swap, Christmas Crackers stuffed with HP goodies including handmade book strings, golden snitch ornament (with resurrection stone inside), etc.
I think I'll choose these bags I assembled for my official monthly project, though. I bought some water-resistant bags and filled them with some little things: new blankets, new gloves, protein bars, hand warmers, and a Rite Aid gift card. Every time I drive to the Book Thing of Baltimore, MD, I feel bad about not giving anything to the people on the streets, asking for money. I kind of have a thing about giving money to people directly, though, especially since I literally don't carry cash very often. But this time, I had a little something to give. I hope I was able to give them something very simple that would make them smile as well as something they'll find useful. Yay for random acts of kindness.

List 1- Wrap-up
Mar. 11th, 2010 01:04 amHere's the wrap up of my first list of 101 Thing in 1001 Days. I accomplished 50 (so about half) of the things. Not a great result, considering at the time I made the list, I thought I would do them all. But, I did try hard and I got a lot more done than I would have without the list. So even though it was a half-fail, I'm still glad I did it.
Self-Improvement/ Personal
1. Take a basic car maintenance class/workshop
I did look for such an animal but I couldn't find one anywhere. I even called my car insurance place and they didn't know of any locally. So I was unable to complete this one.
2. Sign-up for a dating service
I checked out a few online dating sites. I even started my profile for one. But, in the end, I chickened out. Bad self image is my biggest hurdle.
3. Stay in touch with college friends I’ve reconnected with
Didn't do so well with this. I did reconnect with some of them, but I haven't been in contact as much as I wish I'd been.
4. Keep in touch with my KS better- 3/10/10
I've done a bit better here. And now that Kate tweets, it's easier to say hi every so often on top of e-mail & snail mail. I love my KS *hugs*
5. Re-write weekly schedule and try better to follow it
Yikes. I did try to follow it at first, but it was a pretty strict schedule and, honestly, my life has changed so much that a schedule re-done 1001 days ago just didn't work for me for long.
6. Learn basic sign language (i.e. more than what I know already)
I learned a little, but have forgotten most of it now. I need to make a more serious attempt at this in the future (a future monthly project, perhaps)
7. Learn how to tie a tie- 04/20/08
Every time I go to tie one, I have to look up the instructions to refresh my memory. But I generally have the right idea.
Health & Fitness
8. Lose 15+lbs
This SO did not happen. I'm still a fatty. LOL!
9. Work out at least 3 times a week
I did have periods of time where I worked out this much. But for the most part, I didn't work out at all for months on end.
10. Start wearing pedometer again and keep track of steps walked- do sit-ups if I fall below my average
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
melydia even gave me a new pedometer (after the batteries in my old one died) but I didn't like the new one as much (couldn't calibrate it to my pace/walking style) so I had doubts about its accuracy at times. In the end, I didn't keep up with this one either.
11. Floss at least 5 times a week if not every single day
I definitely improved on this for a while, but I went through periods of doing well and others where I did not so well. On a whole, i call this a fail but I know I need to keep up with this.
12. Drink & finish a bottle of water every week
I made an attempt at this, but I just really hate the taste of water. Couldn't do it for the long term.
13. Go to the optometrist (it’s been 9+ years) and get new glasses- 6/22/07
I still have my glasses, and they're wonderful
14. Go to the gynecologist (haven’t been since I was in college)- 12/12/07
Actually, I should go again...
15. Get juicer out of storage and start using it
I never made any effort on this. Which is a shame.
16. Start taking Centrum vitamins again
Once again, for a while I was doing well with this, but then I lapsed and didn't keep up
17. Walk to the library at least once a month (weather permitting)
I made this goal back when I was going to the library to buy used books every Saturday afternoon. Now I volunteer at that library on Monday nights (used to be Thursday nights) and it's too dark when I'm done at the end of the night to safely walk home. So this one became unrealistic very shortly after I made it.
Good Things
18. Try 5 times to give blood
I did give it a good shot a few times. When I made the goal, I didn't realize what a problem it would be for me to give blood. After more complications arose, it made it virtually impossible for me to donate blood. What a shame, because I used to be so good at doing it every few months like clockwork.
19. Grow hair out to 10+ inches past chin and donate to Locks of Love- 03/10/10
My hair is SHORT now! But I hope my hair will go to help a kid who needs/wants it
20. Send 30 care packages to soldiers through AnySoldier.com
I managed to send 10 out of 30, which isn't too bad at all. I made the goal of 30 back when I sent 1 every month and I just wasn't able to keep up with that pace. But it's still 10 more units out there benefitting from what I've sent.
21. Donate 100 books to charity/the library- 03/29/09
With Accio Books last year, this was done in practically one drop off. LOL
22. Buy 10 things for Toys for Tots- 12/19/07
It's a nice program, and it was fun looking for toys that I thought kids would like.
23. Raise $250+ for AIDS Walk Washington- 9/27/07
Thanks to the generosity of family and friends, I more than exceeded this goal!
24. Get involved with the Cairn rescue group somehow
I did sign up, but I haven't built any pages for them. I feel guilty for letting that slip.
25. Buy fruit at a farmer’s market- 07/02/09
Nom nom nom! I wish there were a farmer's market closer to my house that was open when I wasn't working so I could visit it regularly.
26. Put a recycling bin in the laundry room and empty it myself regularly- 3/10/10
I let this slide for a while, but I've been pretty good about storing up recycling and then taking it up on trash/recycling night
Home/Things
27. Get rid of 5 boxes of things in my room/storage unit
Actually, I have another box of stuff to go. But a full 5 boxes? VERY close but no cigar. I could stretch it and say this was finished, but, honestly, I fell a little short.
28. Separate laundry (don’t just wash all at once on cold)- 3/10/10
I've actually been doing a phenomenal job at this. Seriously, my laundry skills have improved significantly over the past 1001 days.
29. Clean from 3pm-5pm every Sunday- no excuses!
I have no excuse, I just didn't do this
30. Make small fixes to car (paint in front, dome light, reflectors on holes, side shade)- declared finished on 3/13/09
My car looked nice!
31. Keep car gas level at least half full at all times
Fail. I did manage to do this for a while, but there were some pretty important times my tank was definitely on empty.
32. Clean out car (even vacuum)- 8/17/09
I did clean it out a few times (both my last car and the new one)
33. Start making smoothies again
I didn't even make ONE! But we might be getting a blender at work, which means I'll have an excuse to eat/drink yummy soon. A little late for the 1001 days though.
34. Pair down closet and move all clothes out of Simon’s room
I did give away several boxes/bags of stuff. But I still have about 20 things in the upstairs closet I need to get rid of.
35. Clean out/sort Outlook Express Inbox
I am beginning to believe I will never get this mess sorted
36. Back up computer completely once every two months- 3/10/10
I have been backing up quite a lot, and my external hard drive is awesome. Except during the past month, my computer won't recognize it. ACK! I spent some time tonight trying to figute it out, to no avail.
37. Buy a display cabinet and put things in it- 07/02/07
I love my display cabinet so much
38. Get/buy some sort of cataloging software & catalog all books, CDs, tapes, DVDs, video games, and videos
My entire collection isn't yet in there, but the majority is, and I've been keeping up with my new purchases.
39. Go through Real Simple magazines and create a binder of useful pieces
I have a big binder of these, but lately I've thought it would be better to put them all in plastic sleeves instead of punching holes in the flimsy pages. So I'm going to have to re-do what I've already done and then work on all the new issues.
40. Go through digital camera cards and print/save/delete all photos
I'm lazy when it comes to my photos, apparently
Hobbies
41. Register all books waiting to be registered for BookCrossing
At this point, it seems unlikely that I'll ever be 100% caught up on this. I have several hundred unregistered at the moment.
42. Make/refine my BookCrossing car kit- 08/12/07
I still use it
43. Write & submit another BookCrossing article- 09/09/07
I'm proud of my articles
44. Start a state map postcard for book trade on BookCrossing
I'm shy and never worked up the courage to start this
45. Create the Around the World in ? Days Challenge on BookCrossing
Ditto. I acquired 2 copies of the book, but by then I learned that someone else did something fun with the book and I lost my nerve.
46. Send out 25 Ray it Forwards at BookCrossing (books I've actually read first)
Not even close! I did send out some, which is good, but not 25!
47. Create a BookCrossing iCal (publish it?)- 12/29/07
I created it, yes, but didn't keep up with it.
48. Start a Fannish BookBox- 07/06/08
I did one round of an online bookbox before I decided I don't like online bookboxes.
49. Start an LGBT BookBox- 07/06/08
I have since set out two different LGBT bookboxes!
50. Start an LGBT BookRelay and keep it going
Someone else created one, but I participated in it for a while
51. Start an anime BookRelay and keep it going
Someone else created one of these as well, but I participated in it for a while, too
52. Make a better list/system of books I mail out (spreadsheet) and keep up with it
I created a nice spreadsheet, but didn't find it as useful as I had hoped it would be. So I stopped using it.
53. Clear 50 books off my To Be Read bookcase- 09/25/09
Hardly feels like I made any dent at all, but I did read them
54. Watch every nominated movie from the Academy Awards (excluding foreign film) from 2007-2009
Wow. I honestly thought this would be no problem. But I didn't even come close to watching them all
55. Get a P.O. Box and do PostCrossing; send out 50 postcards- 3/5/10
I still have my PO Box (love it) and I sent 50 postcards out!I got some great ones back, but I probably won't keep up with PostCrossing much in the future.
56. Finish my website portfolio- 6/5/09
It's not perfect, but it exists :-)
57. Add to Max’s scrapbook
I actually couldn't find it for the longest time. But I recently un-lost it and plan to pick it back up again.
58. Catalogue Eeyore collection- 01/04/09
I love having a catalogue/list of all my Eeyores!
59. Find out about displaying my Eeyore collection at the library- 12/02/08 through 12/30/08
I am so proud that I got to do this
60. Get a new library card (mine is 20 years old and almost in pieces)- 11/10/07
I love my new library card!
61. Learn how to play Mahjong- 07/29/07
I could probably use a refresher course, and apparently I learned the Chinese version, not the US one. But now I know how it's supposed to be played.
62. Decide what big thing to build out of LEGOs and begin planning- 08/03/07
I built amazingness and displayed them at my first LEGO convention as a participant in 2009
63. Bring TG’s Realm website up to date- 01/31/10
This is one I am especially proud of. I did massive updates.
64. Bring Kintail: the Dreamscape & BookCrossing websites up to date
I wish I'd done as much to this site. I've updated parts a little, but it's not completely done.
Fannish Stuff
65. Make Remus & Sirius sock puppets
I still want to do this!
66. Catch up on Stargate
I bought the whole thing on DVD, so I should be able to get this done during the next 1001 days without problem
67. Catch up on The 4400- 08/17/07
What a great series. I cannot believe they cancelled it just when it was getting amazing.
68. Catch up on The Dead Zone- 12/13/07
DITTO! The ending was amazing. I want more!
69. Finish Farscape series
I came close. Just one season & the Peacekeeper Wars left
70. Finish Gabaldon series to date (reread Outlander-Fiery Cross and read A Breath of Snow & Ashes)
I re-read the first two books and bought the newest. I've got a long way to go with it.
71. Mark up Harry Potter paperbacks with post-its
I really thought this would be useful, but I use the Lexicon so often instead, that maybe I don't need to do this after all.
72. Go to at least one hockey game every season- 9/15/09
I am so happy that I accomplished this one! I saw them win 1 game out of the 5 I went to, I think (so I think I'm 3 in 7 for my whole life). Maybe I'm jinxing them and shouldn't go any more...
73. Read the entire Hornblower series of books- 03/29/09
Oh Horatio, how I love you!
Work
74. Finish archiving the Chronicle and complete the Photo Archives
Chronicle: yes. Photo Archives: still in progress.
75. Get everyone moved to Adobe CS3- 02/18/08
We're all on CS4 now
76. Get a new graphics card for my PC and set up monitors- declared finished on 03/12/09
This was the bane of my existence for so long. I'm glad I completed it finally
77. Bring goodies to work bi-weekly- 3/10/10
Okay, maybe not exactly bi-weekly, but I did bring in a LOT of stuff, and that was my whole point of this goal.
78. Update Webmaster/Admin html manual
I have updated it several times, but it needs a total overhaul now
79. Update Software Inventory & keep it updated!- 09/14/07
Hmm. I did finish that huge project, but I didn't keep it updated throughout 2009.
80. Bring caricature of self to work and put on wall- 08/17/07
It's still there.
Writing
81. Do & win NaNoWriMo 2007, 2008, etc.- 11/25/09
Many, many words written! And I finished my 2009 attempt last month.
82. Keep an ongoing master list (spreadsheet) of all stories I finish- 3/10/10
I absolutely love my spreadsheet of stories. It's a great resource and fun to compile
83. Finish 5 more Strokes stories- 03/10/10
My Strokes boys need more love. But I definitely wrote at least 5.
84. See about doing the Writers’ Roundtable twice a month- 07/25/07
We still have 2 meetings each month.
85. Make one entry every month to my Rectacular journal
Now that I have a separate Twitter account for recs, I've been updating it more easily and frequently. Not quite every month, but an improvement.
86. Finish 25+ WIPs which have been waiting/ignored for a while
Wow. 25. Really? What was a thinking. I tried, though. And I'm happy of the ones I did work on and especially the ones I finished.
87. Submit something to be published
Didn't even try. I'm making next time's goal 5 submissions as a penalty. LOL
88. Start a file of rejection letters- 03/10/10
It's a nice file folder. I hope it doesn't get too full
89. Enter more dreams in my dream journal
Often I said to myself "Kate, that was an amazing dream. Go write it down in your journal" and then I would forget and be lazy and just not do it. Bad Kate.
90. Read 5 books on writing
Um, I am drowning in books. I've read parts of many, but only finished 1 completely.
Miscellaneous
91. Start reading slash-dot and try to keep up with techie news- 3/10/10
I have the RSS feed on my browser and I pay attention to it much more than I used to. Not as much as I should, but I'm more aware on a whole of things that are going on in the Tech world
92. Set up a special savings account and put $1 into it every day for a total of 1001 days- 3/10/10
I am so happy I made this goal. Now I have more than $1020 to spend as I see fit!
93. Go to a Free-For-All Friday at Mix 107.3
Nope. I didn't do this. What a shame.
94. Get a new computer with a flat screen monitor- 06/01/08
I love my new computer, even when it doesn't cooperate with me.
95. Go to the International Spy Museum in DC (for the first time)
I gave my family money for tickets on Christmas a few years ago, but we haven't gone. I did step inside the entrance because I won tickets to the Spy in the City contest. But that was for a GPS tour of the city in a hunt, not something inside the museum
96. Go to the Zoo (see new Asia section & new panda before he’s gone)- 10/05/08
I'm glad I got to see him before he left for China
97. Go to Mount Vernon to see the new museum/exhibits/theaters- 03/07/10
I wish I'd known to watch the full intro movie. But apart from that, I had an excellent time with friends!
98. Visit a lighthouse- 10/31/09
I didn't get to go inside, but I did see one :-)
99. See the Washington Capitals practice at their new facility- 01/02/09
I love Kettler. My boys have such a nice home now (and so much closer to where I am, too). I really want to take my mother there soon.
100. Keep a separate 101 LiveJournal- 06/13/07
You're looking at it!
101. Start a new 101 list when I’m down to my last few things to do- 03/10/10
I've got a new list. I'll post it next! Wish me luck!
Self-Improvement/ Personal
1. Take a basic car maintenance class/workshop
I did look for such an animal but I couldn't find one anywhere. I even called my car insurance place and they didn't know of any locally. So I was unable to complete this one.
2. Sign-up for a dating service
I checked out a few online dating sites. I even started my profile for one. But, in the end, I chickened out. Bad self image is my biggest hurdle.
3. Stay in touch with college friends I’ve reconnected with
Didn't do so well with this. I did reconnect with some of them, but I haven't been in contact as much as I wish I'd been.
4. Keep in touch with my KS better- 3/10/10
I've done a bit better here. And now that Kate tweets, it's easier to say hi every so often on top of e-mail & snail mail. I love my KS *hugs*
5. Re-write weekly schedule and try better to follow it
Yikes. I did try to follow it at first, but it was a pretty strict schedule and, honestly, my life has changed so much that a schedule re-done 1001 days ago just didn't work for me for long.
6. Learn basic sign language (i.e. more than what I know already)
I learned a little, but have forgotten most of it now. I need to make a more serious attempt at this in the future (a future monthly project, perhaps)
7. Learn how to tie a tie- 04/20/08
Every time I go to tie one, I have to look up the instructions to refresh my memory. But I generally have the right idea.
Health & Fitness
8. Lose 15+lbs
This SO did not happen. I'm still a fatty. LOL!
9. Work out at least 3 times a week
I did have periods of time where I worked out this much. But for the most part, I didn't work out at all for months on end.
10. Start wearing pedometer again and keep track of steps walked- do sit-ups if I fall below my average
melydia even gave me a new pedometer (after the batteries in my old one died) but I didn't like the new one as much (couldn't calibrate it to my pace/walking style) so I had doubts about its accuracy at times. In the end, I didn't keep up with this one either.11. Floss at least 5 times a week if not every single day
I definitely improved on this for a while, but I went through periods of doing well and others where I did not so well. On a whole, i call this a fail but I know I need to keep up with this.
12. Drink & finish a bottle of water every week
I made an attempt at this, but I just really hate the taste of water. Couldn't do it for the long term.
13. Go to the optometrist (it’s been 9+ years) and get new glasses- 6/22/07
I still have my glasses, and they're wonderful
14. Go to the gynecologist (haven’t been since I was in college)- 12/12/07
Actually, I should go again...
15. Get juicer out of storage and start using it
I never made any effort on this. Which is a shame.
16. Start taking Centrum vitamins again
Once again, for a while I was doing well with this, but then I lapsed and didn't keep up
17. Walk to the library at least once a month (weather permitting)
I made this goal back when I was going to the library to buy used books every Saturday afternoon. Now I volunteer at that library on Monday nights (used to be Thursday nights) and it's too dark when I'm done at the end of the night to safely walk home. So this one became unrealistic very shortly after I made it.
Good Things
18. Try 5 times to give blood
I did give it a good shot a few times. When I made the goal, I didn't realize what a problem it would be for me to give blood. After more complications arose, it made it virtually impossible for me to donate blood. What a shame, because I used to be so good at doing it every few months like clockwork.
19. Grow hair out to 10+ inches past chin and donate to Locks of Love- 03/10/10
My hair is SHORT now! But I hope my hair will go to help a kid who needs/wants it
20. Send 30 care packages to soldiers through AnySoldier.com
I managed to send 10 out of 30, which isn't too bad at all. I made the goal of 30 back when I sent 1 every month and I just wasn't able to keep up with that pace. But it's still 10 more units out there benefitting from what I've sent.
21. Donate 100 books to charity/the library- 03/29/09
With Accio Books last year, this was done in practically one drop off. LOL
22. Buy 10 things for Toys for Tots- 12/19/07
It's a nice program, and it was fun looking for toys that I thought kids would like.
23. Raise $250+ for AIDS Walk Washington- 9/27/07
Thanks to the generosity of family and friends, I more than exceeded this goal!
24. Get involved with the Cairn rescue group somehow
I did sign up, but I haven't built any pages for them. I feel guilty for letting that slip.
25. Buy fruit at a farmer’s market- 07/02/09
Nom nom nom! I wish there were a farmer's market closer to my house that was open when I wasn't working so I could visit it regularly.
26. Put a recycling bin in the laundry room and empty it myself regularly- 3/10/10
I let this slide for a while, but I've been pretty good about storing up recycling and then taking it up on trash/recycling night
Home/Things
27. Get rid of 5 boxes of things in my room/storage unit
Actually, I have another box of stuff to go. But a full 5 boxes? VERY close but no cigar. I could stretch it and say this was finished, but, honestly, I fell a little short.
28. Separate laundry (don’t just wash all at once on cold)- 3/10/10
I've actually been doing a phenomenal job at this. Seriously, my laundry skills have improved significantly over the past 1001 days.
29. Clean from 3pm-5pm every Sunday- no excuses!
I have no excuse, I just didn't do this
30. Make small fixes to car (paint in front, dome light, reflectors on holes, side shade)- declared finished on 3/13/09
My car looked nice!
31. Keep car gas level at least half full at all times
Fail. I did manage to do this for a while, but there were some pretty important times my tank was definitely on empty.
32. Clean out car (even vacuum)- 8/17/09
I did clean it out a few times (both my last car and the new one)
33. Start making smoothies again
I didn't even make ONE! But we might be getting a blender at work, which means I'll have an excuse to eat/drink yummy soon. A little late for the 1001 days though.
34. Pair down closet and move all clothes out of Simon’s room
I did give away several boxes/bags of stuff. But I still have about 20 things in the upstairs closet I need to get rid of.
35. Clean out/sort Outlook Express Inbox
I am beginning to believe I will never get this mess sorted
36. Back up computer completely once every two months- 3/10/10
I have been backing up quite a lot, and my external hard drive is awesome. Except during the past month, my computer won't recognize it. ACK! I spent some time tonight trying to figute it out, to no avail.
37. Buy a display cabinet and put things in it- 07/02/07
I love my display cabinet so much
38. Get/buy some sort of cataloging software & catalog all books, CDs, tapes, DVDs, video games, and videos
My entire collection isn't yet in there, but the majority is, and I've been keeping up with my new purchases.
39. Go through Real Simple magazines and create a binder of useful pieces
I have a big binder of these, but lately I've thought it would be better to put them all in plastic sleeves instead of punching holes in the flimsy pages. So I'm going to have to re-do what I've already done and then work on all the new issues.
40. Go through digital camera cards and print/save/delete all photos
I'm lazy when it comes to my photos, apparently
Hobbies
41. Register all books waiting to be registered for BookCrossing
At this point, it seems unlikely that I'll ever be 100% caught up on this. I have several hundred unregistered at the moment.
42. Make/refine my BookCrossing car kit- 08/12/07
I still use it
43. Write & submit another BookCrossing article- 09/09/07
I'm proud of my articles
44. Start a state map postcard for book trade on BookCrossing
I'm shy and never worked up the courage to start this
45. Create the Around the World in ? Days Challenge on BookCrossing
Ditto. I acquired 2 copies of the book, but by then I learned that someone else did something fun with the book and I lost my nerve.
46. Send out 25 Ray it Forwards at BookCrossing (books I've actually read first)
Not even close! I did send out some, which is good, but not 25!
47. Create a BookCrossing iCal (publish it?)- 12/29/07
I created it, yes, but didn't keep up with it.
48. Start a Fannish BookBox- 07/06/08
I did one round of an online bookbox before I decided I don't like online bookboxes.
49. Start an LGBT BookBox- 07/06/08
I have since set out two different LGBT bookboxes!
50. Start an LGBT BookRelay and keep it going
Someone else created one, but I participated in it for a while
51. Start an anime BookRelay and keep it going
Someone else created one of these as well, but I participated in it for a while, too
52. Make a better list/system of books I mail out (spreadsheet) and keep up with it
I created a nice spreadsheet, but didn't find it as useful as I had hoped it would be. So I stopped using it.
53. Clear 50 books off my To Be Read bookcase- 09/25/09
Hardly feels like I made any dent at all, but I did read them
54. Watch every nominated movie from the Academy Awards (excluding foreign film) from 2007-2009
Wow. I honestly thought this would be no problem. But I didn't even come close to watching them all
55. Get a P.O. Box and do PostCrossing; send out 50 postcards- 3/5/10
I still have my PO Box (love it) and I sent 50 postcards out!I got some great ones back, but I probably won't keep up with PostCrossing much in the future.
56. Finish my website portfolio- 6/5/09
It's not perfect, but it exists :-)
57. Add to Max’s scrapbook
I actually couldn't find it for the longest time. But I recently un-lost it and plan to pick it back up again.
58. Catalogue Eeyore collection- 01/04/09
I love having a catalogue/list of all my Eeyores!
59. Find out about displaying my Eeyore collection at the library- 12/02/08 through 12/30/08
I am so proud that I got to do this
60. Get a new library card (mine is 20 years old and almost in pieces)- 11/10/07
I love my new library card!
61. Learn how to play Mahjong- 07/29/07
I could probably use a refresher course, and apparently I learned the Chinese version, not the US one. But now I know how it's supposed to be played.
62. Decide what big thing to build out of LEGOs and begin planning- 08/03/07
I built amazingness and displayed them at my first LEGO convention as a participant in 2009
63. Bring TG’s Realm website up to date- 01/31/10
This is one I am especially proud of. I did massive updates.
64. Bring Kintail: the Dreamscape & BookCrossing websites up to date
I wish I'd done as much to this site. I've updated parts a little, but it's not completely done.
Fannish Stuff
65. Make Remus & Sirius sock puppets
I still want to do this!
66. Catch up on Stargate
I bought the whole thing on DVD, so I should be able to get this done during the next 1001 days without problem
67. Catch up on The 4400- 08/17/07
What a great series. I cannot believe they cancelled it just when it was getting amazing.
68. Catch up on The Dead Zone- 12/13/07
DITTO! The ending was amazing. I want more!
69. Finish Farscape series
I came close. Just one season & the Peacekeeper Wars left
70. Finish Gabaldon series to date (reread Outlander-Fiery Cross and read A Breath of Snow & Ashes)
I re-read the first two books and bought the newest. I've got a long way to go with it.
71. Mark up Harry Potter paperbacks with post-its
I really thought this would be useful, but I use the Lexicon so often instead, that maybe I don't need to do this after all.
72. Go to at least one hockey game every season- 9/15/09
I am so happy that I accomplished this one! I saw them win 1 game out of the 5 I went to, I think (so I think I'm 3 in 7 for my whole life). Maybe I'm jinxing them and shouldn't go any more...
73. Read the entire Hornblower series of books- 03/29/09
Oh Horatio, how I love you!
Work
74. Finish archiving the Chronicle and complete the Photo Archives
Chronicle: yes. Photo Archives: still in progress.
75. Get everyone moved to Adobe CS3- 02/18/08
We're all on CS4 now
76. Get a new graphics card for my PC and set up monitors- declared finished on 03/12/09
This was the bane of my existence for so long. I'm glad I completed it finally
77. Bring goodies to work bi-weekly- 3/10/10
Okay, maybe not exactly bi-weekly, but I did bring in a LOT of stuff, and that was my whole point of this goal.
78. Update Webmaster/Admin html manual
I have updated it several times, but it needs a total overhaul now
79. Update Software Inventory & keep it updated!- 09/14/07
Hmm. I did finish that huge project, but I didn't keep it updated throughout 2009.
80. Bring caricature of self to work and put on wall- 08/17/07
It's still there.
Writing
81. Do & win NaNoWriMo 2007, 2008, etc.- 11/25/09
Many, many words written! And I finished my 2009 attempt last month.
82. Keep an ongoing master list (spreadsheet) of all stories I finish- 3/10/10
I absolutely love my spreadsheet of stories. It's a great resource and fun to compile
83. Finish 5 more Strokes stories- 03/10/10
My Strokes boys need more love. But I definitely wrote at least 5.
84. See about doing the Writers’ Roundtable twice a month- 07/25/07
We still have 2 meetings each month.
85. Make one entry every month to my Rectacular journal
Now that I have a separate Twitter account for recs, I've been updating it more easily and frequently. Not quite every month, but an improvement.
86. Finish 25+ WIPs which have been waiting/ignored for a while
Wow. 25. Really? What was a thinking. I tried, though. And I'm happy of the ones I did work on and especially the ones I finished.
87. Submit something to be published
Didn't even try. I'm making next time's goal 5 submissions as a penalty. LOL
88. Start a file of rejection letters- 03/10/10
It's a nice file folder. I hope it doesn't get too full
89. Enter more dreams in my dream journal
Often I said to myself "Kate, that was an amazing dream. Go write it down in your journal" and then I would forget and be lazy and just not do it. Bad Kate.
90. Read 5 books on writing
Um, I am drowning in books. I've read parts of many, but only finished 1 completely.
Miscellaneous
91. Start reading slash-dot and try to keep up with techie news- 3/10/10
I have the RSS feed on my browser and I pay attention to it much more than I used to. Not as much as I should, but I'm more aware on a whole of things that are going on in the Tech world
92. Set up a special savings account and put $1 into it every day for a total of 1001 days- 3/10/10
I am so happy I made this goal. Now I have more than $1020 to spend as I see fit!
93. Go to a Free-For-All Friday at Mix 107.3
Nope. I didn't do this. What a shame.
94. Get a new computer with a flat screen monitor- 06/01/08
I love my new computer, even when it doesn't cooperate with me.
95. Go to the International Spy Museum in DC (for the first time)
I gave my family money for tickets on Christmas a few years ago, but we haven't gone. I did step inside the entrance because I won tickets to the Spy in the City contest. But that was for a GPS tour of the city in a hunt, not something inside the museum
96. Go to the Zoo (see new Asia section & new panda before he’s gone)- 10/05/08
I'm glad I got to see him before he left for China
97. Go to Mount Vernon to see the new museum/exhibits/theaters- 03/07/10
I wish I'd known to watch the full intro movie. But apart from that, I had an excellent time with friends!
98. Visit a lighthouse- 10/31/09
I didn't get to go inside, but I did see one :-)
99. See the Washington Capitals practice at their new facility- 01/02/09
I love Kettler. My boys have such a nice home now (and so much closer to where I am, too). I really want to take my mother there soon.
100. Keep a separate 101 LiveJournal- 06/13/07
You're looking at it!
101. Start a new 101 list when I’m down to my last few things to do- 03/10/10
I've got a new list. I'll post it next! Wish me luck!

Dec. 28th, 2007 07:34 pm22. Buy 10 things for Toys for Tots
Accomplished! Earlier in December, I went on a few mini shopping sprees and picked up some toys. Wanted to drop them off at my radio station's drop off area on the other side of Northern VA but I wasn't feeling so great then and couldn't make the long trip there.
Toys:
Candy Land Board Game
Teddy Bear
Tonka Tricks set
Condtruction Mini Creator LEGO Set
Flyers Mini Creator LEGO Set
Pucci Puppies- Scotty Dog
Barbie Holiday Stocking
Dora the Explorer Bag of Card Games
Marvel Heroes Ball
Playschool Babydoll
My Little Pony- Star Catcher Pony (bought after I took the picture, though this made 11)

List 1- Nearly 3 Months In
Sep. 8th, 2007 10:01 pmThought it was time for another progress report... to kick myself in the arse...
1. Take a basic car maintenance class/workshop
I called my car insurance company, and they had no recommendations. I looked in all the local class catalogs and found some major classes on the subject, but nothing as small as I want. Maybe I'll try to find some "teach yourself" course?
3. Stay in touch with college friends I’ve reconnected with
I haven't been doing as well as I'd like, but I have made progress
4. Keep in touch with my KS better
I've been doing better than usual :-)
5. Re-write weekly schedule and try better to follow it
I haven't been following it AT ALL. Maybe I should look it over again to make it more realistic.
6. Learn basic sign language (i.e. more than what I know already)
I've looked around online for some DVDs, but none really seem so useful (either too fast or too slow). There do, however, seem to be some interesting software packages I might look into.
9. Work out at least 3 times a week
I've stopped working out. I really, really need to start working out again
11. Floss at least 5 times a week if not every single day
I've stopped doing this as well. Must try harder.
12. Drink & finish a bottle of water every week
Okay, I don't think I've done this since week 1. Not good.
16. Start taking Centrum vitamins again
I have some and took a few, but stopped. I'll try to keep up with them.
17. Walk to the library at least once a month (weather permitting)
SO hot lately, I think I'd just about die if I tried.
19. Grow hair out to 10+ inches past chin and donate to Locks of Love
It's growing!
22. Buy 10 things for Toys for Tots
I actually bought a little Lego set the other day for Toys for Tots :-)
26. Put a recycling bin in the laundry room and empty it myself regularly
Er... I haven't emptied it... and now I have another pile I really need to take upstairs. I'll try better with this, too.
28. Separate laundry (don’t just wash all at once on cold)
Actually, I've done a great job with this. All but one load (which had to be done quickly, before my Iowa trip) was separated
29. Clean from 3pm-5pm every Sunday- no excuses!
Meep. Not doing well with this
31. Keep car gas level at least half full at all times
I let it get to almost empty once, but only once in the last 7 months. And that let me get an almost free car wash (special deal where you get a car wash almost free with 8+ gallons of gas).
34. Pair down closet and move all clothes out of Simon’s room
Haven't done a thing... but it's getting bad.
36. Back up computer completely once every two months
OMG why am I not doing this???
40. Go through digital camera cards and print/save/delete all photos
I did go through and delete a few... but I still have about 200 pictures saved
43. Write & submit another BookCrossing article
I thought about an idea... maybe I should buckle down and actually write it?
49. Start an LGBT BookBox
Someone else started one, and I joined it, using many of the books I'd set aside for my own. So... negative progress here.
52. Make a better list/system of books I mail out (spreadsheet) and keep up with it
I've been keeping up with it somewhat
64. Bring Kintail: the Dreamscape & BookCrossing websites up to date
The other day I posted 80+ stories on my shrieking shack site (part of Kintailscape). But this is far from accomplished.
74. Finish archiving the Chronicle and complete the Photo Archives
I'm about halfway done with the photo archives
75. Get everyone moved to Adobe CS3
I'm 99% done with this!
77. Bring goodies to work bi-weekly
I've been excellent about this. Especially since I buy food for my writers' roundtable and take all the leftovers (which is always a ton) to work afterwards.
79. Update Software Inventory & keep it updated!
I plan to update its Monday or Tuesday this week
81. Do & win NaNoWriMo 2007, 2008, etc.
I've got my 2007 idea... I just need a plot!
82. Keep an ongoing master list (spreadsheet) of all stories I finish
I've been doing a good job at this
85. Make one entry every month to my Rectacular journal
I haven't been doing this at all!
91. Start reading slash-dot and try to keep up with techie news
I have the RSS feed on my work computer and I try to read stories once a day or at least a few times a week.
96. Go to the Zoo (see new Asia section & new panda before he’s gone)
I'm thinking of doing this maybe next weekend or the weekend after.
1. Take a basic car maintenance class/workshop
I called my car insurance company, and they had no recommendations. I looked in all the local class catalogs and found some major classes on the subject, but nothing as small as I want. Maybe I'll try to find some "teach yourself" course?
3. Stay in touch with college friends I’ve reconnected with
I haven't been doing as well as I'd like, but I have made progress
4. Keep in touch with my KS better
I've been doing better than usual :-)
5. Re-write weekly schedule and try better to follow it
I haven't been following it AT ALL. Maybe I should look it over again to make it more realistic.
6. Learn basic sign language (i.e. more than what I know already)
I've looked around online for some DVDs, but none really seem so useful (either too fast or too slow). There do, however, seem to be some interesting software packages I might look into.
9. Work out at least 3 times a week
I've stopped working out. I really, really need to start working out again
11. Floss at least 5 times a week if not every single day
I've stopped doing this as well. Must try harder.
12. Drink & finish a bottle of water every week
Okay, I don't think I've done this since week 1. Not good.
16. Start taking Centrum vitamins again
I have some and took a few, but stopped. I'll try to keep up with them.
17. Walk to the library at least once a month (weather permitting)
SO hot lately, I think I'd just about die if I tried.
19. Grow hair out to 10+ inches past chin and donate to Locks of Love
It's growing!
22. Buy 10 things for Toys for Tots
I actually bought a little Lego set the other day for Toys for Tots :-)
26. Put a recycling bin in the laundry room and empty it myself regularly
Er... I haven't emptied it... and now I have another pile I really need to take upstairs. I'll try better with this, too.
28. Separate laundry (don’t just wash all at once on cold)
Actually, I've done a great job with this. All but one load (which had to be done quickly, before my Iowa trip) was separated
29. Clean from 3pm-5pm every Sunday- no excuses!
Meep. Not doing well with this
31. Keep car gas level at least half full at all times
I let it get to almost empty once, but only once in the last 7 months. And that let me get an almost free car wash (special deal where you get a car wash almost free with 8+ gallons of gas).
34. Pair down closet and move all clothes out of Simon’s room
Haven't done a thing... but it's getting bad.
36. Back up computer completely once every two months
OMG why am I not doing this???
40. Go through digital camera cards and print/save/delete all photos
I did go through and delete a few... but I still have about 200 pictures saved
43. Write & submit another BookCrossing article
I thought about an idea... maybe I should buckle down and actually write it?
49. Start an LGBT BookBox
Someone else started one, and I joined it, using many of the books I'd set aside for my own. So... negative progress here.
52. Make a better list/system of books I mail out (spreadsheet) and keep up with it
I've been keeping up with it somewhat
64. Bring Kintail: the Dreamscape & BookCrossing websites up to date
The other day I posted 80+ stories on my shrieking shack site (part of Kintailscape). But this is far from accomplished.
74. Finish archiving the Chronicle and complete the Photo Archives
I'm about halfway done with the photo archives
75. Get everyone moved to Adobe CS3
I'm 99% done with this!
77. Bring goodies to work bi-weekly
I've been excellent about this. Especially since I buy food for my writers' roundtable and take all the leftovers (which is always a ton) to work afterwards.
79. Update Software Inventory & keep it updated!
I plan to update its Monday or Tuesday this week
81. Do & win NaNoWriMo 2007, 2008, etc.
I've got my 2007 idea... I just need a plot!
82. Keep an ongoing master list (spreadsheet) of all stories I finish
I've been doing a good job at this
85. Make one entry every month to my Rectacular journal
I haven't been doing this at all!
91. Start reading slash-dot and try to keep up with techie news
I have the RSS feed on my work computer and I try to read stories once a day or at least a few times a week.
96. Go to the Zoo (see new Asia section & new panda before he’s gone)
I'm thinking of doing this maybe next weekend or the weekend after.
