la_megere_101

Let's start off with what I've actually accomplished. :)
1) Finish this list

Ongoing things in progress
3) Update on my progress weekly - Yay! Here we go (1/1)
19) Read 101 Books - So far I have finished Multiple Blessings (Jon and Kate + 8's book) and The Tales of Beedle the Bard. (2/101)
20) Go back to yoga 2x per moth - I'm planning on going to yoga on Thursday. (I literally FORGOT this week lol)
21) Schedule a massage 2x per month - My next massage is scheduled for Thursday after yoga!
26) Make one thing per week using my new Kitchenaid - I "made" a sauce for a veggie pizza. I guess that counts.
30) Do NOT contact T - No contact. I made this one of my goals b/c I very nearly caved after a very emotional, very drunk New Years. But not counting a bit of contact last summer, we haven't spoken since summer 2007!
36) Put away my laundry within 24 hours of finishing it - I'm usually so tired by Sunday night that it has a tendency to sit around. So far, I am 1/1 :)
39) Take a picture every day - I did this for several days last week but completely forgot yesterday! Darnit! (3/4)
45) Clean my glasses daily - Have been doing. Seems to be helping (4/4)
57) Use reusable grocery bags EVERY TIME - I didn't do it once b/c I made an impromptu stop on Friday. So, I'm (1/2)
68) Organize my iTunes - I fixed nearly 500 songs. Have a section still left to do.
81) Buy a new cell phone - Looking into it. May put it off as Verizon just finished their merger with Alltel. This may change things.

Things that will be finished in the coming months
7) Finish my SS certification - I took the test yesterday morning. Now I just have to finish these two classes this semester and I can update my cert!
16) Go to Central States Conference - Julie and Lauri are in! We're most definitely planning on going in March to Chicago!
60) Visit a country I've never been to - I'll most likely be heading to Iceland for a layover in June.
61) Visit France without agenda... just GO - Well...... I am going in June but we're only going for five days, so I probably need to plan at least a bit.
62) Find an amazing apartment to stay in for Paris - working on it. Will have to finalize before we go.
63) Smoke and drink wine and coffee in a Parisian café - will happen in June
64) Get pictures of all of my friends and I in front of all of our Parisian landmarks :) - coming in June
65) Visit Annie in FL - will probably be going over Spring Break
74) Sleep in the forest at Rothbury - the festival is ON!
75) Lay out in an inner tube circle on the lake - ahh, beach day in July!
76) Stay up all night - This will most likely happen at Rothbury :)
78) Travel to the Creationism museum in KY and don't get kicked out! :) - I'm hoping to plan this trip before the summer
94) Buy absinthe - Hopefully can buy it in France now that I can legally bring it back :)
