So this might be a little premature...but it's all good!
I bought tickets last night to go to the 5th Avenue Theater and see South Pacific. I'm excited. I've never seen South Pacific...but got an email for a killer deal on tickets...so I went for it. I've always LOVED musicals...so I'm sure I'll love this one too. I'm seeing it on Friday, February 19th at 1:30pm.

Vote!
Yup...I did it. I always vote in the major elections, but often time let the littler elections pass me by...but not this time!
I got my ballot in the mail for the Orting School Levy....opened it up...voted and popped it back in the mail!

Postcrossing...have you heard of it?
You register yourself and it begins the exchange of postcards from around the world. It's free...which is awesome!
I got my first 4 addresses for 4 different ladies they are from The Netherlands, Japan, Russia and Finland. I picked up some Seattle postcards and Walmart and wrote them all a little note. Today, I'm going up the street to the post office to get my international postcard stamps...they are about $1.00 each. How this works is I have a postcard ID to put on the postcard. Once it is recieved, they register the postcard and then my name goes onto the list to go to someone around the world to mail me a postcard. They make it so you only send and recieve 1 from each country. I'm looking forward to getting my first postcard! I'll keep this updated!

#35- January's Recipe
Hallie loves homemade macaroni and cheese...loves it...would live on it...asks for it weekly.
This month I tried the mac & cheese recipe from The Pioneer Woman..it was in my new cookbook...which by the way I've made about 5 new recipes this month!
Here the recipe is online
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/04/macaroni-cheese/
It's SO easy...and delicious. I made it ahead of time and we baked it...but seriously...it should be eaten right after making it...it's so creamy and yummy...and trust me..this didn't help my weight loss goals in my 101!

Yesterday, I completed 1 task!
I went to see Jenn at Salon Parente. She's a family friend, sort of. She's the ex-girlfriend-now-married of one of my step brothers.
I sat down in her chair and she asked what I wanted...I said I have no idea.
She decided to trim about 4" off my hair, layer it a bit among other things. Now it sits just above my shoulders...and I think I really like it. I'll take a picture later and get it posted.
Now, it's more manageable and it's in a style that I get out of the shower, spray some product in it and go....having long hair seemed dumb when I always pulled it back...now I can leave it down more often!

My 101
So, on the right side of this page, you'll see a list of my 101 things to do in 1001 days. What a challenge I have ahead...but nothing is out of the realm of possibility. I'll be updating this blog as I complete a task and hopefully work away at my list to nothing! Let's see if I can get it done! As they get done, you'll see them crossed off and a date of completion next to them.
I'll update with photos as necessary...I'm actually looking forward to this....maybe I'll actually get to do some of those 'I wish' things! Here's to the next 1001 days!
My start date is Friday, January 8th, 2010.
Completion Date: October 5, 2012

The Challenge
The Challenge:
Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.
The Criteria:
Tasks must be specific (i.e. no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (i.e. represent some amount of work on your part). I will document, as best I can, the completion of each task.
Why 1001 Days?
Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple challenges such as New Year's resolutions or a 'Bucket List'. 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, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organising and timing some tasks such as overseas trips, study semesters, or outdoor activities.
