lilacwire's list was so spiffy, it inspired me to start working on one. If you haven't seen this meme going around, the idea is to make a list of 101 things you realistically want to accomplish in the next 1001 days (~2.75 years). I'm about a third of the way through making up the list, but for those who are interested, here's what I have so far. I put the start date when I started making the list because, well, it might be quite a while before I come up with 101 ideas.Starting Thursday 2 February 2006
To be completed on or before Thursday 30 October 2008
1. Present a paper at a professional conference in my field
2. Pay off (and close account for) second mortgage
3. Find a long-term solution for daycare for Akito that does not require him to be at my parents' house
4. Work out at least twice a week on workdays, plus weekends (I'd like to find a way to work out every day, but that doesn't look realistic right now)
5. Catch up on Space.com e-mails and stay current to within two weeks
6. Maintain inbox at < 500 messages (once I get down to that; current status: ~1300)
7. Travel to a country I've never been to before (i.e. not the US or Canada)
8. Drive along the Pacific Coast between Vancouver, BC and San Diego, CA
9. Attend my high school reunion
10. Lose 20 lbs from August 2005 baseline weight (current status: 4 lbs)
11. Make another cosplay costume and wear it to a con
12. Visit at least 3 friends who live more than 2 hours away by car
13. Take Akito on a road trip
14. Save CU's Tau Beta Pi chapter
15. Host at least 2 parties each year
16. Donate at least $100 to charity each year
17. Start a PhD program
18. Complete another NaNoWriMo novel
19. Write and edit a short story fit for publication
20. Hike Bear Peak again
21. Hike to the top of a mountain above 10,000 ft
22. Organize storage stuff in second bedroom, making it fit to be a guest room
23. Redo lighting in second bedroom
24. Decorate master bedroom
25. Go on a date with someone I'm interested in (the original plan was to be married and maybe have a kid by late 2008, but the point of this exercise is to be realistic)
26. Re-cover couch
27. Get some houseplants
28. Fix up the lawn in the backyard
29. Come up with 3 new "presentable" recipes
30. Volunteer at the National Space Symposium (3 times if practical)
31. Hike at least 10 new trails, with at least one being outside of Boulder
32. Grow my hair down to my waist again
33. Organize my tools so I can find things when I want them
(Amusing side note: I had this list on my gmail account, so it picked out some key words and posted Google ads on the side. Google came up with two ads for kids' furniture, one for hiking trails, and another for interior decorating.)
