Pam�s 101 Things in 1001 Days: One Year Recap Okay, so it�s been just over a year since I posted my list (click above to see complete list), and I�ve completed 35 things so far. That�s not too bad, although I had hoped for more. But there�s still time, and a few things are in the works. Let�s take a look back and see what I did accomplish: 1. Go to L.A. Hey, not too bad. I knocked off a few easy ones, but I also completed some surprising ones, such as the 30 Seconds to Mars and Green Day tasks. I doubled my pleasure with #16 and #58, by finding 2 perfect red dresses and going to Universal Studios in L.A. and then going to Six Flags for the first time over the summer. I was also happy to have completed the random make-out task, but even happier to have completed the inflatable bouncy castle one. However, I�ve also found that some tasks don�t have the best consequences, like my sending the drink to a cute guy at a bar, only to have the guy turn out to be a skeleton from Lucy�s past who is now desperately pursuing her because of their �undeniable bond� that he senses. Sorry, Lucy! Also, my blind date from #78 made me sad because I got to him too late. We talked for hours on the phone and he was amazing and fun and everything I want in a guy, but he had just met someone before we finally ended up hanging out one night, so I was very unfortunately too late. But hey, these things happen. Forget the past � let�s check out the future. I should be able to knock some things off the list in the coming weeks, such as the simple task of painting my fingernails, which I still can�t believe that I haven�t done. But Liz got me some great polish for Christmas, so it shall be done! Also, I just booked a trip to L.A. yesterday, and I splurged on a swanky hotel in Beverly Hills, so look out #72 and #36, I�m coming for you! Eric and I are also trying to get tickets to see Ellen (#2) and will go and sit in the Riff Raff Room if we must. We will BE THERE. In terms of #7, I�ve got the DVD recorder, I just haven�t gotten around to the transferring. And #8? We all know I tried to meet Taylor, but I will simply have to try, try again. That one will NOT be on the list of those that fall into the �What was I thinking?� category, such as �Go to England� or �Watch all of my unopened DVDs.� Ha! I�m tentatively planning a trip to Minnesota this fall, so if I do make it there, I can knock #41 off and finally meet my friend Shelly. (And Lonnie, my great love.) Ooh, and #65: play tennis � my brother and I are on a waiting list for a tennis league that starts in a couple of weeks. I am ridiculously out of shape. Bake a dessert � I�ve �made� things, but I�m not counting separating pre-made cookies from dough � I have to make it from scratch. And #94 � my Office Husband got me a book for Christmas so I can learn chess, so I�ll have to get on that. See? Things are in the works. I�m happy to see that I got so many things accomplished last year, but I�m going for more this year. I�d really like to cross off #34 (and #26), but I�ll settle for #87. A girl�s gotta take what she can get. Here�s to getting everything I desire this year, and I hope you all get the same. Let�s do 2006 up right, bitches! |
