Why wait until January 1 to start the list?

I can't say that I have officially checked anything off my list. I'm not too worried because my intentions are to officially start this on January 1, 2010. However, a couple things are in progress - a little head start never hurt anyone, no?

30. Learn about blogs and try to start one to keep myself motivated to achieve these goals.

You're reading proof that I started this (we'll see how long I stick with it)!

46. Renew my Driver's License and get a new picture taken for it so that people think it looks like me.

I printed out the renewal paperwork and filled everything out. I'll swing by the RMV next Friday on my day off and BAM! Number 46 will officially be complete.


I'm very excited to start officially checking things off my list. The only thing I like more than organization is crossing items off a to-do list!

Happy New Year everyone!

THE LIST

101 cose, 1001 giorni

It's New Year's Eve Eve - the day before you party all night and then spend the next day recovering and writing a list of all of the outrageous things you want to accomplish. I'm not afraid to admit that I am one of those list-makers. Every year, I say "I'm going to learn new things and lose 20 pounds by February and run 432432 marathons!" By January 3, I'm hungry and overwhelmed so I join my friend Mr. Pizza on the couch and give up.

This year, a friend showed me the glorious website dayzeroproject.com. The idea? Create a list of 101 goals you want to accomplish in 1001 days. What's not to love? I love lists. I love resolutions. If I list a bunch of things I've always wanted to do, I should be able to check them off this list in just under 3 years, right?

We'll see.

Oh and one of the items on my list: Start a blog about the progress I make on my list. CHECK.
