018-get two top dental implants
Monday, January 4th, 2010

I got my smile back again.  I got two implants on the top.  I still have the bottom one to do & I need to see a specialist for the right side but from the visible aspect, I got my smile back!  

100-Inspire at least one other person to start a 101 in 1001 list.
A few times :)

I have inspired a few people to create a list.  I even started a Facebook Group to motivate myself & others.  

016-send a letter from Day 1 self to day 1001 self
Sunday, November 29, 2009

This was a very powerful experience that I recommend everyone do.  It's different from writing a  blog, that documents your history &/or feelings.  This is like holding a conversation with yourself.  It's like a loving note of hope to the future.  You can do it by going here.

001-make & upload this list
Sunday, November 29, 2009

You would think this would be the easiest one to complete.  It wasn't.  I've thought about it & thought about it for a while now.  I even started a Facebook Group to motivate myself & others way back in January of this year but nothing came of it.  It's just like me to dream big but lack the motivation or the vision to follow through.  This time it is going to be different! 
I saw this on a friend's Facebook...  Today, November 29th (2+9=11), we will be experiencing the rare numerological phenomenon of 11-11-11 for the second time this month. "11" is the Master Number that opens the doors of awareness and opportunity for the energies of Creation at all levels. 2009 (2+0+0+9=11) carries this vibration... throughout the year-now is the time to make the most of it!

What better day to start this than today?  So here I  go on another 2.5 year journey with 101 things I would like to do.  I did this last time but I didn't keep up with it as much as I had wanted to.  You can see my attempt here.

So here goes.  By the time this 1001 days ends I will be coming up to my 40th birthday.  Wow, that's a scary thought. 
009-complete my Toastmaster Competent Communicator (CC) (3/10)
I have given three speeches now.  #1 - The Icebreaker, #9? - Informative Speech?  #6 - Visual Aides.  I don't have my books here but I will update this.
081-lose 10 pounds (4.6/10)
I've joined Weight Watchers at work.  I haven't been 100%, or even 50% on track because of the holidays but I have lost 4.6 pounds so far. 

059-color every picture in a coloring book
You know they don't really make coloring books anymore.  They have activity books.  Just as I thought that I found a gigantic coloring book with 400 pages!  I will start with a smaller one with only 64 pages.

091-donate or toss 101 items (0/101)
Last week I purged a lot!  I don't exactly know how to measure this. I have two big trash bags of clothes that I am going to donate.  Should I count each item as one or one bag.  If I were buying them I would have to pay for them separately?  Working on this.

044-visit all the Massachusetts Wineries  (0/20)
Well I guess in order to start, I need to know where they are...
