Update on 101 in 1001

For those of you who didn't read my last post about 101 in 1001, I am keeping a list of 101 things I'd like to accomplish in the next 1001 days. 1001 days (2.75 years) is a happy medium between writing a to do list and keeping a bucket list. It's a way to dream big and make regular progress toward meeting those longer term goals. I began checking items off my list July 8, 2012, and the 1001 days are up on April 18, 2015. 

I'll be honest, I totally forgot about my 101 in 1001 over the summer. The last time I updated the list and crossed things off was before graduation in May. At that time I had 27 items crossed off my list. Now, I have 41 items crossed off!!! Yippy :) 
Here are the 41 things that I have completed:
  1. Go on a bar crawl
  2. Buy white bowls and plates
  3. Finish writing 101 things 
  4. Inspire someone else to write 101 things in 1001 days (Molly & Julia)
  5. Budget my money until May 2013
  6. Have a picnic
  7. Wear pink or red lipstick out
  8. Try an orange
  9. Buy a over the door coat hanger 
  10. Get a glass pitcher
  11. Try a new flavor of ice cream (coffee almond fudge)
  12. ride my bike on the Tremont bike path
  13. buy a new perfume
  14. Throw Dad a big 60th
  15. Don’t go clothes shopping for 120 days
  16. Eat at an organic, local restaurant (Republic)
  17. No internet/email for 24 hours
  18. Buy Calvin Klein Euphoria
  19. go to a Celtic’s game
  20. Go gluten free for a month
  21. go to NYC during Christmas
  22. Read 50 Shades of Grey Trilogy
  23. Cook homemade lobster 
  24. Use a Kitchen Aid mixer to make a baked treat
  25. Light a match
  26. go on a vacation with just friends
  27. Pass the Praxis exam for SLP
  28. Move into my first apartment
  29. Graduate Summa Cum Laude
  30. Renew my CPR
  31. Go through my closet & donate clothes that I haven’t worn in a year
  32. Go to California 
  33. Wear a fedora to the beach
  34. Go to Chicago 
  35. Go to Mom’s work for a day
  36. Go to Ikea & have Swedish meatballs
  37. do the freedom trail 
  38. go to a Red Sox game
  39. go to a Bruin’s game
  40. pay my first bill
  41. Go on a road trip
I'm hoping to continue to update my list, and I plan to accomplish a few more things before the end of the year. I'd like to:
  • Drink 8 glasses of water every day for 1 week
  • Go to a few new bars in Boston
  • Make new recipes that I find on Pinterest or are given to me by friends/family
  • Have a big Golden Birthday party in a few weeks (I'll definitely be posting about my plans for it soon!)
Anyone else have a 101 in 1001? Did I inspire anyone else to create one?
