First 10 days of the 101...

This week went pretty well, I'd say. The 101 things has the attraction that there is most likely SOMETHING I can do in a positive attempt, LOL. So far this week I have attempted:


Items in progress
1. Eliminate all debt.

3. Put $2000 into an fund by the end of the 2009.
4. Start a 9 month emergency fund. Have at least 3 months done by 1001 days.

8. See 52 movies in the theatre.(1/52)

Brian, Becca and I saw 'Bedtime Stories', starring Adam Sandler. Russell Brand was in the movie as well and Becca and I saw lots of things he did that Brian does as well. It was a hoot!

10. Drink at least 4 glasses of water every day (10/1001) .

This one is pretty easy to do!

12. Have dinner with the girls at least 14 times. (1/14)

Dinner, breakfast, what's the diff? :p Had breakfast last Saturday with Karen and Mary at Mother's downtown. Yummy french toast!

18. Cook something new once a week. (1/143)

This week was baked pasta from my 'Get in there and cook' cook book. It was...ok...

30. Donate 1,000,000
grains of rice. (7000/1,000,000)
This one is fun, I can't help it, LOL.

32. Incorporate more eco-friendly/animal friendly household products into the household

I purchased eco-friendly cleaning products.

33. Switch all light bulbs in the house over to CFL bulbs wherever feasible.

Purchased the CFL bulbs, will replace as the other bulbs fail.

45. Have a clean kitchen each weeknight before I go to bed (1/143).

This one wasn't too difficult until later in the week when I got SO tired...

50. Start using fabric grocery bags instead of plastic. (1/143)
This is easy, I just have to REMEMBER! :)

51. Keep car tidy weekly. (1/143)

Cleaned out car this week.

63. Eat 1001 salads(8/1001).

I am glad I picked a number rather than a specific day. Somedays I have 2 salads!


67. Do a load of laundry 5 times a week - wash, dry, fold, return to origin.(1/143)
I struggle with the fold and return portion.

71. Do not eat after 8 PM

This I am mostly successful with, though last night I kept talking about the food they were eating on screen, LOL. I was HUNGRY.

74. Watch 'Dexter' with Brian.

Becca, Brian and I are watching Season 1 on blu-ray!

COMPLETED:
66. Do a weekly virus and spyware scan.
This was completed last week with that nasty virus this machine had...
100. Leave the car at home and take public transportation.


Struggles:
52. Reduce purchased coffee drinks to one a week (0/143).
This one I am having trouble with. I bought 3 drinks over the last 10 days. *sigh*
