First Goal Completed

As of Sunday I have completed one of my 101 things to do in 1001 days. It was to stay off Facebook for an entire week. I managed to do it but just barely, I kept wanting to go and check on my all my friends status' and well keep up with them.

On Thursday last week it seems that someone had hacked into my Facebook, nothing was done so I simply changed my password and am now hoping that all is well there.

Now on Friday I will have to put $100 into my savings as I finished the task. What am I going to do with the money? I want to go to Pax Lodge in England and Our Chalet in Switzerland. They are two of the four world guiding centres, the other two are in India and Mexico. If I can go sooner all the better but for now I will put $100 away every time I complete a goal and dream about my trip. Perhaps I will do some geocaching while I am there! I would never pass up the opportunity to go geocaching! (Unless of course I am sick).

I think (knock on wood) I am finally starting to kick this cold of mine. I have been sick for almost three weeks! Thankfully, it isn't turning into pneumonia like it did last time I got sick like this.

Off to work I go! More adventures wait for me there!

Small Progress...Day 3...Only 998 Days To Go!!

I woke up this morning with my nasty cold returning for round 2. Needless to say I am pouty, grouchy and want to do nothing but sleep!! I wish I could stay home and get better tomorrow but we have an inspector coming tomorrow so I need to make sure he has all the necessary documents. Dear Cold....your timing sucks!!

I received four more postcards in the mail today. That makes 13 out of 101 I need to collect to finish that task.

Off to bed as I am falling asleep...

2 days in...999 more to go!

Last night I got home and I wasn't feeling well. With it being cold outside my fibromyalgia is flaring up and the tramadol is making me feel...sick.

I decided to try and distract myself from the sick feeling and grapped some origami paper and my laptop to attempt to conquer something on my 101 things in 1001 days list. I managed to get almost halfway through the challenge learning for new folds.

I made:

A lantern (I love it!)
A basket (don't like it, looks like crap next to the one on the computer but at least it still looks like a basket!)
A 4 pointed star (really easy to make, may have to try an eight pointed star)
A mushroom (this one is really cute!!)

I have also started collecting 101 postcards for another one of my 'things.' I received a postcard in the mail last night from a penpal from postcardcafe so I now only have 100 left to collect. I will have to get some tac so I can make a collage on my bare living room walls of my postcards. I wonder if A. will let me?...*ponders*

I am also on day 2 of no Facebook for a week...so far so good, although I keep wanting to check it to check up on my friends! I could call them too I suppose :P .

I think that is all I have to update for now...Until my next update my next adventure awaits!!

101 things to complete in 1001 Days

Now I have gone and done it! I have created a list of 101 things to complete in 1001 days on dayzeroproject.com. I was at brownie camp over the weekend and one of the leaders was in charge of the geocaching. I told her on Friday night that I had set a goal of completing 365 geocaches in one year. She asked if it had to do with completing 101 things in 1001 days. I replied that it wasn't...but I was intrigued!



Yesterday afternoon when I got home I went online and found the website. I decided to create my own list of things I wanted to accomplish.



Here is my list: http://dayzeroproject.com/user/BlueFlutterby

Right now I have banished myself from Facebook for a week. It is actually harder than I thought it would be! It is how I stay in touch with a lot of my friends...how did we stay in touch before? Phone? Email? I honestly can't remember. I think before Facebook I hadn't heard or seen a lot of those friends since junior high or high school.

So instead of spending time on facebook tonight I am going to complete goal 101: I am going to learn 10 new origami folds. Perhaps I will post pictures of what I create online. I found my box of origami paper and my book a couple of weeks ago. Now I have an excuse (not that you really need one...but now I have an excuse to do some paper crafts).

I think two tasks this week is a good start. Perhaps I will be able to accomplish more next week. We shall see!!
