The 101 Things in 1,001 days Recap

I have to be honest, I lost some energy on this list in 2013.  Having 1,001 days is a long time.  And several things on the list are things I'm not interested in anymore.  My life was very different on July 1, 2011 than it is today.

So here is my full list (because I took the link down) and all the links to the items I completed.  Plus, I've made a few notes on some of them.

  1. Inspire someone else to write a list (MelissaLauren, and Kimmi all completed lists)
  2. Donate blood - The one time I went to do this at a blood drive at my office, I couldn't because I had gotten a tattoo within the year.  I've been meaning to do this before I get my next tattoo and just never got around to it.
  3. Make my business official - Honestly, while I still like making cards for myself or for holidays or for gifts or helping a family or friend, I'm not really interested anymore.  I think being stuck out in MD where I wasn't happy, this was more important to me.  Now I have other priorities.
  4. Design business cards for my business
  5. Clean out/organize my closet
  6. Find my signature cocktail - I sort of did this.  I order an old fashioned or a French 75... or I get a beer. :)
  7. Find myself the perfect "home"
  8. Define my decorating style
  9. Decorate that home in my style - I have been trying.  Money plays a big role in this.  But everyone who's been here really likes how I have it decorated, so I guess I achieved this more than I thought.
  10. Find my "go to" date outfit - Nope.  Still need that perfect little date outfit. 
  11. Have a picnic
  12. Find my makeup must haves - get rid of the old stuff
  13. Develop a skincare routine

  15. Join a gym that offers classes

  21. Run a half marathon
  22. Host a dinner party - STILL WANT TO DO THIS
  23. Take a dance class - and this
  24. Get a facial
  25. Own a pair of Louboutins - After several outings, I am pretty confident that there are not many opportunities for this.  He only runs up to a size 10 and his shoes run small... so...
