101 Revisited

So here it is a year later from my first 101 list. I thought I would take a look at what I finished in 2007, and what I still need to work on, and how ridic some of the things I put on there that sounded good at the time that I am truly not going to do--hello pinup photo, I mean seriously?? But that's all part of changing your mind from year to year about what is important, and I went through the list and made notes for 2007. Since I am not watching nearly as much tv because there are no new episodes of 30 Rock, or the Office, (thanks writers strike! ) and I think I have seen most of the Housewives of OC now, so I don't have to pay such close attention. What? You KNOW you watch that show, don't even play, some of you even watch Janice Dickinson's Modeling Agency I bet. I reviewed what I did this year, which works out to about 20%. Not bad. Probably about 1/2 of the remaining items I actually want to accomplish this year, and the rest, ack, who cares, or I lost interest. For 2008, high on the list is lose weight, save money, learn how to use my Mac and technology stuff, and craft more. I am adding some new stuff related to my library life, which might involve a new blog but not sure. For now, I am going to just focus on one or two things a week, and since there is no end to the writers strike, not too much out there to watch, I have more time..
