It’s the 3rd of January and I have yet to make my
New Year’s resolutions. Its not because I don’t have any goals or bad habits
that need kicking. It is because I have 91 goals on my 101 in 1001 list that
need to be check off. So with a list that long, I figured why bother with
resolutions.
I came up with 101 in 1001 list back in March of 2012 and so
far I have completed 10 tasks (at this rate things are not looking very good).
So today, instead of posting about resolution I am not going to keep, I am
going to reflect on the 10 tasks that got me a gold star.
Buy a houseplant and
keep it alive for 6 months. For a while, I was killing houseplants like
crazy but I think I have finally casted off my black thumb. Not only did I keep
one plant alive for 6 months, I am a proud plant momma to a 7-month-old
succulent.
Buy a piece of art-
Thanks to Ross and a cashier that was too lazy to do a price check, I got this
bad boy for less than 20 bucks.
Go a week without
wearing pants- Marissa at Shabby, Chic, & Cheap is the reason I
achieved this goal. She held a no pants week back in April and I joined in on
the fun.
Get a haircut. I
cut off all the tex-laxed ends of my hair back in July (around 4 to 5 inches).
It was kind of a big deal to me because I tex-laxed the year before out of
frustration. I regretted doing it immediately so this task righted a wrong I
had made.
Host a Tea Party.
I think I had the most fun doing this one. It was a princess theme tea party
and we invited girls of all ages.
Go on a Picnic- I
included the girls in my teen empowerment group on this one. We made a day of
chilling at Grant Park.
Go to the Atlanta
Botanical Gardens- I have lived in Atlanta my entire life and had not been
to the botanical gardens. So my husband, my niece, and I made a day of it. We
all fell head over heels for this place.
See a Cirque du
Soleil show- we went last week and had a blast. We saw Totem this time and
it was an amazing show. I can’t wait until they come back next year.
Go to the Georgia
Aquarium- Love this place. We wanted to get married here but couldn’t
afford the 25K food & beverage minimum… yes minimum.
Inspire someone else
to make a 101/1001 goal list- this was one of the greatest. It is always
nice when someone says you inspired him or her to do something.
So there you have it, an update on my 101 list. If you had a
101 list, what would one of your tasks be?

I can seriously agree with most of these, especially the first. I'm like cyanide to plants. They come in fine, but within a week, they're already dead. It's tragic.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your list. It sounds as if you have some great resolutions.
And Happy New Year!
