The Ultimate Oxymoron

Sooo...My first day was yesterday. Woke up early. Had energy. Looking forward to start on my list. After I spent some time with the lovely people at the DMV and made some copies I went home to start my list. I cleaned for 5 hours instead. I told myself it was a way to warm up and get the blood going. Maybe it was, but honestly, it was early procrastination. I can say I made small steps to finish a few items on my list. I went to my crochet class last night. That will help me crochet an afghan...eventually. I'm more likely to look up the origins of the words "afghan" & "crochet" before I finish the damn thing.

Dates set, list done

I spent several hours trying to come up with 50 to do items. It's harder than one might think. I looked at others lists on http://www.dayzeroproject.com/ which helped. There were some good ones out there. I hope no one minds I am going to use them for my own. I have decided on starting this Thursday, February 26th. That makes my end date Thursday, November 24th, 2011 - Thanksgiving!

Starting something new

Thanks to my friend, Wendy, I am inspired to take on the challenge of doing 101 things in 1001 days. I am still figuring out everything I am going to do and when I am going to start.

I hope to have a final list in the next week along with my start/end dates.
