Updated November 7, 2009

Yeah, screw it, I'm dropping. Tired of mod flakiness.

I keep thinking of all the stuff I need to do over the next week, and I’d already planned on having a to-do list weekend this weekend anyway… so now I’m thinking, why not start the list early? Otherwise I’ll put things off this week just so I can cross them off the list. (I’m silly like that.) This one’s going to be really long, so I’ll be kind and put it behind a cut JUST FOR NOW. My inner analtard does not like the list being behind a cut, though, so after a day or so I will uncut it and latecomers can just make use of that handy scroll button. Good deal? (bwaha, uncut now, byotches)

TO DO TUES. 5/5 – TUES. 5/12/09

Maybe I'll take one Wed night cuz that will be my Fri. However, that's past the expiration date of this list, so I fail.)
- GET CAR FIXED O.o
- watch Lost

I'm sure I'll be adding to it as I did this hastily on my lunch break.

ETA: As of March 2010 this is on hold as I've completely lost my drive this year, and even with taking breaks, it's just not working for me anymore. :(




~ 101 things in 1001 days - THE LIST ~
For: mission101_2009

(Like the idea? Join mission101 if you need a start date later than 1/1/09.)

Thursday, January 1, 2009 – Thursday, September 29, 2011
1001 days is…
-143 weeks
-33 months (rounded)
-3 years (rounded)

My list will not be so rigid that I don’t allow some leeway on these time frames, so there will be variances.

I don’t get sick very often but when I do, getting healthy takes priority over completing items on the list, and those days will be adjusted off the totals as necessary. (For example, if I don’t exercise twice during a week in which I was sick, it won’t count against me even as a “leeway” week.) (ETA: Adjusted some totals for 6-7 weeks due to hand surgery, 5/14/09-6/25/09)

Italicized items indicate completed tasks.

Ohhh! I got my Star Wars checks in the mail today! And not only are they Star Wars - they're PATH TO THE DARK SIDE = Alllllllllll Anakin! Wooooo! *pets the pretties*

Don't mind me, just makin' a to-do list.

-update iPod
-pay bills
-weed patrol
-art meme

Subject to additions as always.

Yay I'm home and my bed awaits me! Sooooooo tired. But first, a to-do list for the weekend (plus Monday). Because if I don't post it, I have a feeling I'll just lay around all weekend watching QaF dvds >.> I'm including stuff I just did so that YAY I already have things crossed off.

-attempt to brush/comb kitties

That's it for now, might add more when my brain isn't quite so fried.
Off to bed I go!

Sorry about the previous post. If you missed it, it was just me whining, and I really need to learn not to post when I'm so upset. I'm calm now. It's all good.

Taking a pro-active approach to my money problem - I'm listing ways I can save money. I won't do ALL of these, but I'll come back and reread these and decide on them when I have a better idea of what I need to do.

( List )

Anyone have any other suggestions? Humorous ones would be welcome too. Very welcome.
