Thinking Travel

Arg.

Aaron and I planned to spend today at the beach celebrating our 8th anniversary but an IT emergency forced Aaron to work today.

And since I couldn’t manage more than a sleepy grunt in the wee hours of the morning when Aaron told me he was taking the car, I’m stuck at enjoying a day at home.

Actually, it’s ok. Hopefully Aaron won’t have to spend tomorrow working and we’ll go to the beach next weekend. And I’ve actually gotten a ton of things accomplished today, like cleaning the kitchen, working on a couple top-secret projects, and updating the new SIETAR-NC website.

Speaking of getting thing accomplished, let’s see how many things I can cross off my 10-Things-in-101 Days list:

1. Upload Caracas and MoBay photos to Flickr.
   –Done — see photos here!
2. Finish reading Three Cups of Tea.
   –Still happily making my way through this excellent book.
3. Bring my lunch to work at least 3 days a week.
   –I’m getting much better at this one so I’ll cross it off.
4. Re-up my SIETAR-USA membership and find a mentor.
   –Just need to sign up for a mentor.
5. Sort the gazillion dissertation articles in my file cabinet and toss out what I no longer need.
   –Uh, ya, still need to this.
6. Add 5 people to my LinkedIn profile and become more web 2.0.
   –I’ve received a few requests recently and I joined Facebook…does this count? (no!)
7. Gather the photos and pictures I want to hang in our house so I can assess my framing needs.
   -Done!
8. Outline an article from my diss.
   –Still a work in progress.
9. Go for a walk with Aaron at least 3x a week.
   -Done! Our weekly walking averages out to about 3x a week.
10. Finish this want-to-do list and create a 101 Things in 1001 Days list.
    –Nearly finished.

Ok, this is really sad. I’ve only done half of the things on my list. That’s 50%, an F.

10 things in 101 days, this shouldn’t be that difficult! Maybe it’s a good thing I’m stuck at enjoying a day at home, rather than at the beach.
