SUCH RANDOMNESS THERE IS NO CATAGORY: # 98

So I've been productive on my first day! Partially due to my excitement over the project finally starting and because of down time at work (opps).

I've created a new email address and transfered all my "saved" emails to it. (I have to send out an email to everyone in my address book to let them know I changed it.) I'll still keep my old email while I transition to the new one, and probably keep it for junk or spam or when places require one but you don't want to give out your real one.

1st Day – 1st Accomplishment

SUCH RANDOMNESS THERE IS NO CATAGORY: # 101

Today is the official start date to my 101 in 1001 days, and I am quite excited. I’ve been waiting for September 29^th to get here for the last few weeks. While I waited, I worked on my list of things which didn’t sound to hard and coming up with the first 45 – 50 things wasn’t! But the last half of the list was a lot harder. With time on my hands to wait for my start date, I found myself tweaking my list over and over. I finalized the list this week and posted it earlier to lock myself in – no more changes!

Well today is day 1 and I have completed my first thing – number 100, creating a blog. Yes I technically created the blog in August, before my official start date. But I wanted to know what I was doing (well at least a little bit) before 9/29.

I created the blog with the intent to write about each item completed (number 101) but I will probably end up using it for more then just this adventure, but we’ll see!

I start my "101 things in 1001 days" journey on Wednesday. The item(s) I'm working on will be italizied and all completed items will be in bold. (I'll be coming back to this post quite a bit to update. I will also lable 101 in 1001 on each entry where an item has been completed.)
