To-Do List Results

Hmm..I went to meet my speech partner and I went to the Post Office. I also worked on my DVD inventory. As for my other non-related items, I didn't do them. I haven't had time to create the postcards and I haven't put in my order yet. My coupon expires tomorrow so if I don't create more items by tonight, then I'll just put in the order that I already have set up. As for my list, here is what I've accomplished:

001. Read 50 books [2/50]: I finished my book last night! I didn't expect to finish it, but I did. I read One for the Money by Janet Evanovich. Now I need to start a new book.
034. Send 50 postcards via http://www.postcrossing.com/ [50/50]: COMPLETED! Yay! I finally sent out 50 postcards. I sent my final two today. You should try Postcrossing. Its really fun.
092. Add 200 more DVDs to my collection [94/200]: I finished my inventory. I guess I had my numbers messed up. I thought my starting point was at 200, but it was actually at 300, so I've only added 94 movies instead of what I thought I did. But that's ok, that's still a lot of movies in only two months!

Well, that's all I did for today. I completed 3 out 5 tasks on my to-do list. I guess that's ok.

Another Update

Didn't do much today. Well, technically its 12:19 AM, so I guess it was yesterday. However, since I wasn't on the computer, I was able to contribute to one of my goals. Here is what I did:

001. Read 50 books [1/50]: I read a couple of chapters from my current book. I hope to finish it before the end of the month. The book doesn't take me long to read, I just haven't had time to get around to reading it.
027. Take 10 one-day breaks from the Internet [2/10]: Since I wasn't on the Internet, or even on the computer, I get to cross one day off. I feel proud. And I didn't even try to stay away from the computer. I was just doing too many things that I didn't even get a chance to go on the computer. It doesn't bother me either. But I'm back now. I guess I can't stay away for too long.
080. Earn $100 from blogging in one year [$15.01/$100]: I've made $16.02 as of 11/14/09. That's $1.01 since my last update and $2.65 for the month so far.
092. Add 200 more DVDs to my collection [100+/200]: I honestly have gotten so many new movies that I haven't had a chance to sit down, and add everything to my inventory. Maybe I should do that tomorrow...hmm. The last time I did inventory, I was at 100+. So I'm not sure where I'm at now. Maybe I should really do that tomorrow, who knows, maybe I'll have already accomplished this goal? Hmmm...maybe I'll do it now.
096. Reach 50 followers on this blog [22/50]: Yay! 22 followers! I am almost halfway to my goal. And I'm waaaayyyyy less than halfway through my challenge. So, I guess I'm doing good on this part. But, I can't take all credit. I want to say thank you to all of my followers and being loyal to me. Thank you.

I also watched a movie but I have already seen before so I'm not able to add it to my list. Alright. That is all for now. I'm sorry there weren't any pictures. Hopefully I will be able to add some more updates tomorrow, and hopefully will pictures. See y'all soon! ♥

This has been a great week!

I have accomplished a lot this past week. I haven't completed any more goals, mainly because most of my goals will take a while to finish. However, I have worked a lot on these goals, and I should be able to complete some of them by the end of this year. As for what I've done this past week, are are some snapshots and updates.

001. Read 50 books [1/50]: I have FINALLY finished my first book. I have to admit, it wasn't that great. It has a nice story but I guess I just wasn't interested in it. The book is called Second Chance, by Jane Green. I've read a few of her other books, but this one just wasn't as good as the rest. Its about a group of people who were best friends in school but haven't keep in touch in about 20 years. They are reunited again after one of them dies in a terrible tragedy. The tragedy causes everyone to re-question their life. There are 5 original friends, 2 guys and 3 girls. One of the guys in the one who dies in the tragedy. The main story has individual stories in it about the 5 characters. It keeps jumping back and forth between the characters so sometimes I forgot who I was  reading about, so I would have to read the paragraph again. Overall, its ok, and I like it. I would recommend it.


021. Take multi-vitamins everyday for a month [26/30]: Only 4 days to go, including today! Yay! Almost completed another goal.

034. Send 50 postcards via http://www.postcrossing.com/ [24/50]: Just about halfway there! Anyone want to direct swap? My username for Post Crossing is missleilanie.

083. Buy a new digital camera: A completed task! I was at the Pawn Exchange with my parents yesterday, and let me tell you, they completely surprised me. I normally only look at the DVDs. Then we got into line to buy the DVDs. The camera case is at the back of the line. While we were waiting, I was showing my mom which one I wanted, for future reference. Mainly because I was bored. Then my dad asked which one I was talking about, and I showed him. We finally got up the counter and my dad asked the lady if he could look at the cameras. I was shocked! I didn't think they were actually gonna get me one. Later, during the ride home, my dad said that they were planning on getting me one for Christmas, but since they found a good one for a good deal (it was 50%, so it only cost $40!), they got it then. I am so happy! I love taking pictures, and being in pictures. I hated not being able to have a camera. My last camera broke beyond repair and I didn't have money for a new one. So here is a picture of my camera! I took in the mirror, that's why its backwards.


Its a Sony Cyber-shot, 7.2 megapixels. Its just like my last one, that broke, except its pink! I've always wanted a pink camera! :] Here is what I got, and its original price, brand new. Its not the exact same one, but its the closest I could find because they don't make the one I've got anymore. But, we got a pretty good deal, don't you think?


087. Own at least 50 piggy banks [11/50]
091. Add 100 more playing card sets to my collection [20/100]
092. Add 200 more DVDs to my collection [41/200]
I would update you guys on these three, but to be honest, I get too many new ones on a normal basis that it would take too long to post pictures of each one, each time. So, for future reference, I am letting you know that I will update on how many new ones I get, but I won't be able to update with pictures and names/titles/descriptions of each one. However, I do promise that at the end, when it is completed, I will update with a picture and names/titles/descriptions of each one. How does that sound?

096. Reach 50 followers on this blog [12/100]: 12 followers! Thank you for following!

Challenge has begun

Day 0001
Yay! Its finally the 15th! It feels like its been months since I created this blog, and my list. But its only been a week or so. It felt like forever. Haha. Well, today, I completed a couple of goals, and worked on a few others.
Goals Completed
082. Write a letter to myself, to be opening on last day of the challenge
099. Create weekly goals and checklists
I created my weekly goal sheets and my weekly and daily progress reports. Here are some snapshots.




I wrote down each goal onto a slip of paper, and then inserted them into this jar. Everyday, when I'm bored or don't have anything else to do, I will put a paper out of the jar and try to accomplish the goal.
Goals I worked on today:
021. Take multi-vitamins everyday for one month
I took my vitamins today! :] I can't take pills, so I take the One-a-day Multivitamin Gummies. They are pretty tasty. Its just like gummy bears, its not the kind that look like they are coated in sugar, like the kids vitamins.
035. Donate 100,000 grains of rice at www.freerice.com
I donated 350 grains of rice today!

047. Visit all counties in WA
I checked off my county off the list, since I live here.
061. Watch 26 movies starting with each letter of the alphabet
Today, I watched Mamma Mia! It was a good movie. I like it because of all the songs and singing and it was entertaining. Its about a girl, Sophie, who is getting married and she wants her father to walk her down the aisle. Problem is, she doesn't know who her father is. She is able to contact 3 men from her mother's past who could possibly be her father. She invites them to her wedding, without her mother's knowledge. It gets pretty interesting. I would recommend it. View my post here.

078. Put $5 in savings for every completed task
I put $10 in my savings account today.
087. Own at least 50 piggy banks
Today, I bought 4 cute piggy banks at Goodwill. Check out this post to view more details.
091. Add 100 more playing cards to my collection
At Goodwill, I also bought 3 sets of playing cards.
092. Add 200 more DVDs to my collection
I also went to the Pawn Exchange today. And I bought 10 DVDs for $10! I love the Pawn Exchange.
096. Reach 50 followers on this blog
I have 3 followers so far. Help me with this goal, please follow me! Thank you!


All in all.
Today has been a great day and a great start to my challenge.
See you next time!
