I can't wait to get to school and actually use it! But for now I put in a Spring Schedule, list of my classes, rooms, and times.

Day Ten:
There hasn't been much going on

046. Don't buy things that I can make

I'm making a necklace out of polymer clay that I saw in an urban outfitters catalogue

I've also been doing some signing
I think I'm going to have to end up buying a book thats not for kids :D

Day Seven:
047. Be able to incline bench press 30lbs

went to the gym yesterday, incline bench pressed 15 lbs. So I'm halfway there :)

And yesterday I cooked lasagna for MAL, and TME and I made cookies and scalloped potatoes today so I need to get a book to start doing this:
015. Start keeping a recipe book

I also know how to make breaded coconut chicken with homemade honey teriyaki sauce :)
mmm food

Day Five:
Didn't do much today but
091. Dance more

Went to an african dance class tonight with my mother:
African dance is a celebration of life, dating back thousands of years, mimicking everyday actions like fetching water and sowing seeds.

We did a seed sowing dance today
No pics today but the drums are banging in my head

Day Four:
014. Learn Sign Language
Photobucket
Photobucket
Signing for KIDS haha, dug this book out of my bookshelf.
My plan is to learn important phrases first and have at least on day a week where I practice them in front of the mirror or something.
I have no real reason for wanting to learn sign language but you never know and its something I was always interested in when I was kid. It could come in use one day :)

This one will be a work in progress for a LONG time, considered completed: when I know 75%-100% of the signs in that book

Today is my mom's birthday! But I didn't make her a homemade gift because I had bought her something like a month ago, so it doesn't count! :) I'm going to go practice signing the happy birthday song so I can sign it to her.
We are going to see Milk tonight, then go to the Indian restaurant, coconut soup mmmmm yum!
EDIT:
056. Wear lipstick at least once a week (1/143)

My new coral lipstick busted out for the movies tonight (which was good/sad btw)

Day Three:

Photobucket
013. Have an organized daily planner
027. Buy a new sketchbook and use it for more than scribbles
I went to Barnes and Nobles today with my father and picked up both a planner and a sketchbook, so I would say that both of these are in progress. As filler I will most likely post images of the inside of both just to prove that they are organized/not scribbles :)
So I bought a moleskin for both, though I bought an unlined one for my planner I plan on using it in a organized fashion.

Please excuse the poor quality photobooth pictures, I left my digital camera at school
I have to think of something else to make too. I'm thinking of some sort of fancy shirt.

Day Zero

The Mission:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria:
Task must be specific (ie. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (ie. represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past- frequently simple goals such as New Years resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities.

Not Started
In Progress
Accomplished (with the date)
