Update to my List...
As I mentioned in my last post, I really have not been focusing on my goals very well. Over the summer, I sort of lost touch with what I was doing, and with vacations and work and trips and just relaxing, my 101 in 1001 Days project kind of fell by the wayside.
But now I’m back. And I’ve made some changes to my list. After thinking about it, there were a few things that I know...

943 Days to go...
…and I am totally sucking at my list. Sure, there are plenty of things that I am doing regularly (leaving the office at lunch at least once a week—#49, for example), but nothing is getting documented, and lots of things are not getting accomplished. I really need to get focused. That being said, I need to focus on one thing, starting immediately.
So, I have decided that my first...

How To Get Inspired To Write
julie911:
Carry a small notebook or tape recorder for sudden inspirations. Record your thoughts into more formal written work at a later time.
Rest in an atmosphere of quiet or surround yourself with noise. Sit in a forest or stand on a busy street corner.
Listen to a variety of music, such as jazz or folk music.
See a movie and write a review based on the setting in time or an elicited...

Time to focus!
I haven’t really been focusing on my list as much as I had hoped that I would, which is evident by the lack of posting on this blog. However, although I haven’t been actively thinking, “I need to do this because it’s on my list,” I have still done some things to work towards my goals. Just the other day, I was getting a little scared that I was going to fail at my...

Day 5 Update
I am now on day 5 of my 1001 days (only 996 left to go!), and I have started to make some progress towards marking some things off the list. Here’s where I am:
# 46: Take the Infinite Summer Challenge:
I read the introduction a couple of days ago, but actually started reading last night. Finished the first chapter or so…up to page 17. So far, I am intrigued. The only thing I am...

Onions with Agrodolce Sauce →
From www.epicurious.com This classic Italian sauce, with its combination of balsamic vinegar and a touch of sugar, lends deep sweetness and a hit of acidity to the meaty sautéed fish.
So I didn’t make the salmon, but I did use this recipe to make the onions in the agrodolce sauce. I ate it with roasted chicken and spaghetti squash, and it was pretty good. Really intense vinegar flavor...

Spaghetti-Squash Scramble
One of my tasks for the next 1001 days is to try a new recipe at least once a week. On Saturday night, I made spaghetti squash for the first time, and I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it. However, because Saturday was technically before my project began, I created the following recipe for breakfast on Sunday, using leftovers from Saturday’s dinner.
Ingredients:

The countdown begins...
So, tomorrow marks the beginning of my Day Zero project. So does that make today day zero, since tomorrow is day one? Or is tomorrow day zero and it goes until the 1001st day? I don’t know—I have really never been good at math.
That being said, I am really excited about the list that I have made. I have included things that I have wanted to do for a long time (make something...
